I guess I’ll be the contrarian here. I’ve conservative, have worked in SF for 29 years and still do—only in the office once a week though. Edge of the Tenderloin. Yes it’s dystopian now—more than ever—…but the city has natural beauty by the Bay. More beautiful than Detroit. Educated people around. Maybe there is an opportunity for bargains and one day a revitalization…everything has a cycle. I’m an optimist. But the problem with SF voters is that they are just TOLERANT of everything…including dystopia. They are honestly fine with it.
Unfortunately, the big city dystopia is systemic. Philadelphia and Baltimore, rich with the history of our nation's birth, are more examples of cities in dire straits.
Drugs and liberal lawmakers go hand-in-hand in the downward spiral.
May your optimism be paired with patience and discernment.
