SF is nuts That’s a huge junk of their tax base
I’m probably preaching to the choir, but have you noticed how Bud Light don’t care so much about selling Beer? Disney don’t care about making movies people want to see?
These commies are in charge, and are playing by a set of rules we don’t understand.
Musk leaving SF is for them a big win. We don’t even understand their position, and think they’re just stupid. They are not.
And Ghiradelli chocolate is not to be ignored.
Indeed. I used to work at that building a few decades ago. The front half facing Market Street was the SF Furniture Mart, where fancy furniture makers would display their new offerings. The other half of the property was leased out to IT companies and the City of SF. The area became seedy with vagrants and drug addicts. The Furniture Mart pulled out and sold off their goods (I got a lot of bargains, like $1000 headboards for $50, $500 chairs for $47, etc.), and other companies abandoned the area.
After Twitter bought the building, the area had an awakening with other tech companies and shops moving to the area. I expect that once X/Twitter leaves, the area will suffer with more homeless and addicts. Whole Foods abandoned a huge store a block away, just one year after opening. Now X will leave.
Exactly. They might not miss him, but they’re going to miss collecting taxes from him.
The problem with that is a big chunk of their workforce will follow them to Texas. And, at least half of them will vote democrat. We've already got California license plates all over the place here. Even though some of them say they are republicans who have finally escaped CA, many of them say things like: "I vote republican, but my wife is a liberal. So, our votes just cancel each other out."
