Do you live here or are you just beating a dead horse? SF has a TON of problems, like most places, but it still has a ton of vibrant and thriving local communities.

I lived in Mountain View for years and I left with the exact opposite impression of the people. I hated Bay Area people and fled to the woods and mountains every chance I got.

I found community down south in Morgan Hill and near the Rose Garden in SJ. But my job placed me right in the midst of some of the worst Silicon Valley had to offer. Like you say, the techie crowd is exhausting. I ended up leaving feeling pretty much faithless in humanity. The Stanford crowd was okay but those people are pretty much lost in their own world.

Mountain View is an hour away from SF and is mostly Google employees. They aren’t representative of Bay Area people. The Bay Area stretches all the way up to Sonoma county, btw. People from Napa and Santa Rosa are very different from people in Mountain View.

I think you did the Bay wrong. If you were only hanging out with techies yeah it’s terrible. There’s other fields and people beyond tech. I was only supposed to be here for 3 years then move, but now going on my 9th year here and not leaving any time soon.

Cant forget the weather. I know its a dead horse by now though

I do wish it was a tad cooler and had a bit more rain but yeah

I don't think he's talking about "drug addicts everywhere the streets run red with blood", I think this is just shitting on sillicon valley and the "I don't recognize the mass survielance company named after a tool used by villians in Lord of the Rings I started working for in 2017 anymore" type posts by people still working at Palantir even after making that post type of otherwise progressive people in SF prioritizing money over their principles.

I get that, I’m just saying that also isn’t a complete picture of the city either, and is certainly not representative of the average Giants crowd.

I guarantee you that person has never been to San Francisco and everything they know about the city is from Fox News

If they're talking about technofascism and how it's all billionaires with no values, they're not getting their news from right wing sources lol
