Shear Modulus posted:they've been trying to turn the entire bay area into suburbs for at least like two decades They’ve been trying since the 50’s. Remember how a whole highway used to cut through SF to allow respectable suburbanites to bypass the city full of dirty poors? And the Boomer Bay Area Nostalgia groups on Facebook are full of people pining for the days where the suburbs were much whiter and much blander and far less dense.

I found out about 6 months ago that there was a legit idea to fill in San Francisco Bay for more real estate, they even built a huge building-size model of the bay to test it out that's still around and working (the model, I mean. The idea was terrible). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i70wkxmumAw

But yeah the only place I'm aware of that's open even decently late around me is a Buffalo Wild Wings (lol). Otherwise I go out to Campbell.

Google campus mean tech workers staying indoors, eating at their Google food court and generally not contributing to the local economy, while putting pressure on rents and pricing out the service workers making said local economy work.

Oh yeah. That's what elevated the episode from amusing to a legend. It all happened back when "mod sass" was the worst sin you could commit on SA and grover was a mod. People would make a thread or a post ridiculing the house and get a bunch of finger-wagging and probations/bans as a result. Of course, that just made everyone make fun of it even more, so it just kept going.
