The idea that the tech elite will give up their 6000 square foot mansions and teslas so they can live in a walkable utopia like paris is laughable. But... you do you, tech elite.

        It at least means you were wrong I wouldn’t be able to name even one. But sure, tell me more about how you like using genocidal Nazi euphemisms. ‘The phrase “useless eaters” was invoked by Nazi propaganda advocating for the murder of disabled people‘

        I'm happy and delighted to concede there's at least one incredible tech elite living in the bay like a normal person. This is good news. Your direct rebuttal is welcomed, but the the greater point: this is an elite's experience of the world, not the average person. > ‘The phrase “useless eaters” was invoked by Nazi propaganda I appreciate you getting this reference -- I admittedly slip very dark humor into some of my comments to test the waters of HN readership for sanity.

  Are you suggesting San Francisco was launched as a gated community for the tech elite? 'cause I'm fairly certain it wasn't.

Ok, but please don't post in the flamewar style to HN. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. You may not owe "tech elite" better but you owe this community better if you're participating in it. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
