It’s the same with say Portland , Oregon . Living experience varies wildly on the shade of skin you have and your cultural background. And yet I see it largely on top cities list in the US.

I fail to see what moderates can do in a two party system where gerrymandering is so heavily done that often Democrats have to win 3-1 to control any majority. At this point I see it as a fight between rich landowners+business owners+religi

Yes great city and used to be very livable . But despite everything I cannot justify paying that recent increased cost of living to still be governed by Texas laws of no abortion, guns, capital punishment and pretty much every wacky right w

“nerds now that they are actually not socially despised any more.” - go to any working class area in San Francisco and tell them you work in big tech . See if you are not socially despised . Go tell anyone working blue collar jobs that you

I disagree. If nerds remain nerds and the focus is on learning and trying out cool stuff then Leetcode would not exist . There would be way more companies coming out to compete or springing up with cool stuff . Apart from TikTok upending Fa
