No worries. SF is a sanctuary city with unlimited resources.

As as San Franciscan, I’ve often been asked, how in the heck has a city wedded to such half-assed, brain-dead liberal policies not collapsed yet? And my answer is usually two-fold: tech and tourism. S.F. has been kept afloat by a thriving tech industry, not only with companies like Uber/Lyft/AirBNB/Twitter/Salesforce in S.F. proper but also the well-heeled Apple/Google/Facebook/Netflix workforce that lives in S.F. but commutes to Silicon Valley. And then you have the tourists/conventioneers coming in to experience a sort of theme-park S.F. (Alcatraz, Fishermen’s Wharf, Lombard St, gays etc) from all over the U.S., plus Asia plus Europe.

I have a hunch that both of these pillars are going to be under some major stress over the next couple years. Should be interesting.
