Interesting article, though I'm biased since: - I like to shop IRL, and the opportunities to do this pleasurably are going extinct - I live right by Hayes valley, which they start out with. - I'm also a member of "The Commons" which they mention at the end. I love what it's trying to do: creating a new social 3rd space in SF.
