Makes me wonder how SF compares to NYC in the 70s and 80s.
- refurb 5y agoThis is the thing - SF consistently lost population starting in the 1950’s through the 1980’s. Population went from 775k to 675k which 13%. It suffered from the same flight to the suburbs many American cities suffered from and benefited from the reversal of that trend. But whose to say we’re not entering another cycle where QOL suffers in big cities so people leave (usually the wealthiest first) and you see a downward spiral.
