SF trolled tech and let them have the Tenderloin. It took all those bright folks a decade to figure it out.
- thisarticle 6y agoThey’re intelligent, not bright.
- dan-robertson 6y agoWhat is the difference?
- gamechangr 6y agoNot OP but Intelligence is having knowledge (think book knowledge ) Bright is like sharp. (think street smart or think things through that are complexed) I have friends that I consider very intelligent that are not bright. One makes $200k as an actuary but can't figure out how to talk to his kids in a way that sounds human/normal.
- pedrosorio 6y agoThat does not seem to be the typical definition of intelligence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence#Definitions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence#Definitions Intelligence is usually defined in terms of adaptability, ability to learn, solve problems, etc.

- mdgrech23 6y agoDon't understand this comment? Did SF encourage tech companies to locate in the Tenderloin?
- coryrc 6y agoIt's more sarcasm than not. He's saying it was never a desirable area but tech companies moved there anyway despite theoretically having the money to be nicer places.
- jeffbee 6y agoName a tech company with an office in the Tenderloin.
- somehnrdr14726 6y agoI can't think of one, but I also can't tell the difference between the tenderloin and SOMA anymore. Everyone's comments makes sense to me if you swap SOMA in for tenderloin
- NotChina 6y agoZendesk, twitter, and dozens more.
- maya24 6y agoMicrosoft, Twitter, Dolby are 3 who share an intersection! Square and Uber just a block away.
- jeffbee 6y agoLike the other people who replied, you flunked geography. None of these companies are anywhere near the Tenderloin.
- NotChina 6y agoYes. It did. The mayor was in our office to celebrate the tax incentives of companies to relocate there. Then Twitter followed.
