This may literally be the first time in history someone recommended San Francisco be more like Dubai.
Genuine question - when you're in the bay, do you spend time in any of the following: Pac Heights / Presidio Heights / Seacliff / Woodside / St. Helena / West Palo Alto / Stanford's Campus / Saratoga?
I think the reason you have the perception that you do is that the bay area is one of the least tourist-friendly locations in the world, frankly because the class you talk about loathes outsiders.
EDIT: A great microcosm of this is Sand Hill Road. Looks like less than nothing from the street, but it's home to some of the most expensive and nicest office real estate in the world. Apple HW stands out as another great example.
- keiferski 6y agoOf course there are nice neighborhoods in the Bay, but I'm referring more to the area as a whole. There is a gigantic amount of wealth concentrated in such a small place, yet you almost wouldn't know.
