I'm just telling how it is. Most people go to SF for a job or a dream. Nobody can work hard forever and dreams either come true or burst. When they're done working hard they usually move somewhere easier. It's a cycle with people coming and going. And I don't have to post negative about SF... everyone knows it's a beautiful and gringy city at the same time depending if you're looking up or down the hill.

>I'm just telling how it is. I think you gave a biased opinion (as we all do, that's fine). There are plenty of people over 40 in SF [1] and plenty of people who choose to live their full lives here. You may not be friends with them, but they exist. What I also notice is that most anti-SF people need you to agree SF is bad. They are unwilling to accept that anyone could like it (despite it being one of the most in-demand places to live in America, which they hand wave away as being a jobs thing). It's truly bizarre, because I comp it to a city like Paris which has many of the same cleanliness & "law and order" problems, but it has nowhere near the amount of people who demand you say it's bad.

  It's one of the few cities in the US where I could stand living.

    Yeah low-key the worst part about SF is that it's in America (it gets all the problems of being the most liberal city in a conservative country), but also if it were in Europe it would be one of the worst cities there. Honestly, that's why it's so polarizing - if you like the walkable layout/high density thing, you probably don't care about the better personal economic opportunities vs. Europe and if you're looking to get rich, you want a compound on the beach anyway.
