- adventured 12y agoI only know a little about the gentrification going on in SF, mostly from stories I've run across here on HN. Is it bad that a new culture is taking hold in SF, and why? (given that at some point in the past, a new culture had to take over in SF for the now disappearing culture to exist in the first place)

- guelo 12y agoMost of the united states has the same bland culture. San Francisco's was special, comparable to New Orleans in uniqueness I think. Though a lot of the rest of the country sees SF as being too liberal and would gladly see it fall in line with the bland sameness of everywhere else. Especially the flood of libertarian minded young white males.

- CocaKoala 12y agoIt's pretty disparaging to dismiss the entire country except for San Francisco and New Orleans by saying "yeah those places are all the same and bland". There are many, many places in the US with their own unique cultures and quirks; the fact that you're unaware of them doesn't mean that they aren't there.
