I dont like it being techbro bugmen Mecca. I dont like the streets smelling like poo poo and piss mixed with weed. I dont like the rampant property crime. I dont like the rich people.

good weather if its not fire season though

San Francisco is nice if you can afford it.

yeah it feels like a lot of the charm and vibrancy of the city has been sucked out by those types of people, same with austin and seattle. honestly when people talk about how they hate the kind of people you run into in a city theyre often referring to the transplants

i wish i could go full remote and move to ft davis or some poo poo. there are more people in austin that moved here than when i was born and so basically everyone's a transplant to me. every person in my friend group was born out of state but consider themselves natives beacuse they've been here since 2006. everything changes every six months lol it's so awful

and yes it definitely has. I know its easy to go old man yells at clouds but it's vastly objectively worse than it is now than 2013, which was already way worse than 2003, and so on.

i mean the real answer is just neoliberal money rot has putrefied the internal organs into goo and sold them out for scrap too, but it does suck to see everyone i knew and poorer people all get swept away under a giant tide of wisconsinites

Meh San Francisco is expensive but honestly it kind of felt like the techbro period was over and the hoards of roaming homeless was really exaggerated. Honestly, in many ways, it isnt that different of a city it was in the past once work from home settled out.

It is economics punishing to live there but it isnt a bad place to visit. Seattle is kind of the same.

Portland took a much harsher hit the last couple years. Portland is relatively cheaper but also more chaotic.

ehhh, east bay is where it's at imo. sure there's some things to do/eat, but like 2-days max. it used to be much better and it's just sad now. even the castro is basically destroyed by rich computer touchies and north beach/chinatown etc is a tiny sliver that's constantly shrinking

adam savage is a super cool turbonerd and still lives here too. but if he was 15 years younger he'd 100% be a goon. i met him when I was young when they were filming an early cellphone gas pump episode at my dad's friends place and he was super nice. i've seen met him a few times at the punchline more recently and still a really humble nerd. usually fame and fortune means they don't like the mingle with the riff-raff so it's nice to meet someone who hasn't been thoroughly corrupted by money

Lived there for nine years and grew up on the Peninsula. I might still be there if there was a snowballs chance in hell I could snag a two bedroom apartment to raise a family in but I dont touch computers for a living so that aint gonna happen.

Homeless sitch really isnt much worse than every other city these days due rent being stupid everywhere.

The cornfed Midwest tech strivers could be tiring but also easy to avoid. Christmas to New Years was a nice stretch of time because everyone would gently caress off back to Sheboygan and I had the whole city to myself.
