Also, a lot of "tech kids" like myself aren't in SF proper and thus can't vote on things like SF rent control. It's amazing how privilege acts to protect itself

- superuser2 12y agoI'm sorry, what? Why should you be able to vote on a government that doesn't have jurisdiction over you? Remember that SF is an anomaly. Generally it's the wealthy in the suburbs and the underprivileged in the city. Suburbanites voting on urban policy (in general) is the last thing you should support if you are concerned about privilege.
- Kalium 12y agoWe can't afford to live and vote in the city where we work because those with privilege have used it to push us out.

- gerbal 12y agoSo vote in your community. Every municipality in the Bay Area has its own problems, mostly various forms of NIMBYism. You can make a difference where you live.
