"It's just amazing that the city of San Francisco isn't able to care about something that has generated so many jobs," writes someone in the comments of TC. I enjoyed my Muni-view of the the neon "socialmedia.com" sign in the second story window just as much as the next guy, but it blows my mind to think that people believe it's the fiduciary duty of a municipality to keep a place like this open. My various points in short (1) These jobs inevitably move down Penninsula; (2) Tech is better off without government playing VC; (3) if you've ever seen this place, it does look like it's about to fall into the Bay. The company makes the place, the place doesn't make the company. I hope companies like Automattic are able to pack up and make some other -- hopefully more structurally stable -- place famous.
