I'm happy for you to live in a culture with little envy. Personally, I'm yet to experience such a culture and am myself a long way from being free from this human emotion. Note that my original comment didn't mention envy. I

It is hard to feel empathy for rich SF voters or SF leadership they elected, for decades. I'd say, let it rot, but then I think about the working class, the lunch servers, kitchen workers, ride-share drivers whose livelihoods are getti
