If you went to sf, lived there and decided its not for you and you moved on with your life then your not the people I'm talking about. This thread is filled with people who went on a trip or saw some articles online and now need to keep comparing sf to their southern or mid west hometown or random places in asia and declare how horrible it is. Of course there's valid reasons to not live in a city, its a different lifestyle. I moved out of sf too, the density and everything that comes with it wasn't really for me.
Other cities have problems too, you don't see constant articles about Seattle, or NYC. https://www.news10.com/news/ny-news/nypd-shootings-up-166-fueling-nyc-crime-surge/ https://www.news10.com/news/ny-news/nypd-shootings-up-166-fu... How come no ones writing large rants about how NYC is an overpriced cesspool?
- Apocryphon 5y agoTo be fair, "New York is dying" is a big editorial cottage industry that's been around for decades, people in SV are just less aware of it. It's definitely active now.

If there was genuine curiosity in how cities function I would think there would be more diversity in the cities we talk about. But there seems to be a bias towards negative sf bay area news, I think some it is driven by insecurity.
