That’s me.
Lived there for a while in 2014. It’s not as bad as people make it out to be, so people who live there are easily able to ignore it. Then when they leave, they can’t stop talking about how bad it was because it really is bad. Humans can endure/ignore a lot without saying something or attempting to fix it.

Every time I visit the supposedly 'great and affordable' cities I find myself in a car way more often, I find myself visiting homogenous chains way more often, and I generally find myself way more isolated in bubbles of my own economic class/social circle (largely due to driving everywhere). To each their own (though, as implied, most anti-SF people think SF is an objective bad and aren't afraid to tell you that). >Humans can endure/ignore a lot without saying something or attempting to fix it.

- welder 3y agoVery true... that's why I said SF is one of the few US cities I could live in [0] while it's still nowhere near as livable as EU or Japan. For me personally, livability comes down to the quality of public transit. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37873955 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37873955
