A Detroit like apocalyptic scenario isn’t a certainty, but a possibility we should entertain.
A city with vibrant culture, extreme wealth, and great architecture? That was Detroit in the 50s. A sudden outflow of labor? That could be SF with remote work, AI, and a tech downturn
The “weather” and “geography” are bogus arguments. The entire state of California has great weather and geography. Nothing sets SF apart.
People claim that SF is a boom and bust town as if it’s some force of nature. It isn’t. Claiming that there will be another boom is wishful thinking.

- lacrimacida 3y agoIt’d be interesting to know, aren’t the people who have vested interests such as owning propery in SF the same people claiming a new boom on the horizon?
