  nice sentiments, you can find it a lot of places, but sounds like you found it in SF

  We get it - San Francisco is an awesome city, but the mob mentality with which Peter Shih's post has been attacked [1] should be a matter of shame for us San Franciscans. If our city is truly so great, then we don't need to affirm it with a thousand blog posts. I love this city, but it's in spite of all the issues that Peter mentioned in his blog. Let's recognize that we live in a great city, but let's not turn the city into a religious icon that cannot be criticized. 1. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/16/peter-shih_n_3768505.html?utm_hp_ref=technology http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/16/peter-shih_n_376850...

  'If you don’t love San Francisco like those of us who love it do, there’s a simple solution; don’t live here.' Does this girl hear herself talk? The pretentiousness of that makes me want to gag.

    In itself that statement just sounds like advice. But I feel like the underlying message of it is "if you don't buy into the SF culture, we have the right to exclude you." I guess it connects well to the whole "corporate culture funtimes" stuff we see in startups in the area too, but it all rings a lot like that one Las Vegas development. Why is it that people feel such a need to develop these cults?

    Actually, it's the only line in the piece that isn't pretentious. It's a basic truth: if you're unhappy where you are, seek happiness elsewhere. It has double meaning of course; get out of my city because you're spreading unhappiness, and go find your own city where you can find happiness. I see nothing wrong with it.
