The city was in decay and decline for a decade. This didn’t just happen overnight. The warning signs was pointed out and the people who flocked there wrote off the warnings signs as “it’s just part of the quirkiness of San Francisco”, as they happily took their inflated tech paychecks. I had the chance to take a job there but when I did the math even at 200k I was making less than my peers in the Pennsylvania office who were paying 150k.
Now that it’s reached a tipping point in decay there’s some pretty crazy finger pointing going on. Well who do you blame in a uniparty city where everyone votes for one party, certainly not the people who voted these people in that enacted these policies.
The author points the finger at the super rich democrats of the city, the one they presumably decided to work for and offered them large inflated paychecks that helped create this income disparity. The whole thing reeks of hypocrisy.
