Exactly. Even if we restrict it down to the million or so people who live and/or work in SF, there are so many different cultures and subcultures that it's impossible to generalize down to any specific culture. This is true of any medium- or large-sized city.

Sure, but again, the same can be said of any medium- or large-sized city. I don't say that to minimize the shitty subcultures you mention, or to suggest we shouldn't own it. But this is just... how society works, for better and for worse.
- treebeard901 6mo agoSan Francisco seems, after only living here two years, to be a city kind of in a cold war with itself. I think the Broligarch Tech crowd is fighting with the progressives and in many ways the progressives are losing and do not realize it. I am not using these terms in their strict political meaning either. Much more extended to cultural aspects. I know it is also much more than just those two subcultures but they are the two most dominate. Makes me wish I could've experienced the 1960s San Francisco or even the 90s SF. Tech and tech money just rots the soul of an area.
