I can't take San Francisco seriously anymore. If the VCs weren't there, it'd be a third-rate city, and much of what the VCs are funding isn't even technology but the post-apocalyptic sort of "attempt to engage in one of the short-term natural monopolies that technology sometimes creates" gambits that bloom in the caldera of an imploded technology industry. Yet it has become a more expensive place to live than New York, despite being dysfunctional in every measure other than tech salaries. I cannot see why California hasn't done something about Prop 13 NIMBYs. All that those useless parasites do is block progress, drive up the rents by preventing new housing from being built, and cause measles epidemics with their anti-vax nonsense. It's really time to call in some Texans on that shit and fix the NIMBY problem. If California can't do that, then how are we supposed to take them seriously? If they can't get their heads out of the ass of the past that the NIMBYs claim that they are preserving, how can we trust them to build the future?
