Nearly everyone I talk to at least *thinks* about leaving. But so, so few actually do (especially after they have some success/money). It’s remarkable.

Strangely, the barrons and billionaires don't even do much about solving the persistent homeless people problem. I heard homeless in NYC are better cared for than those at SF. Lots of money, also lot of talk abt socialism etc yet so much hypocrisy.
-
Reality on the ground is that the city gov’t is hyper-resistant to working with business leaders on any policy or funding. Not their voting base. City supes exist in a parallel universe of ideas. So not much openness for coordinated approach to homelessness or anything else.

Relevantly to your interests I feel like universities are sort of like this, in that if you were asking me in a vacuum "Hey should society spend $150k per person to administer an IQ test and four years of, possibly, alcohol?" I'd say "Oh God no." but graduated so I don't defect.

I suppose you could say that criticizing the notion of higher education is a defection but that's a socially sanctioned defection and so no defection at all; the costly version would be something like e.g. publicly burning my degrees or notoriously refusing to fund kids' degrees.

I have great affection for the Bay Area, but I also know it could be so much more.

some crazy guy who looks like he just took a hit of crystal meth takes a shit on the dance floor right in front of your table and then turns around and starts screaming at the wall

I left... but Seattle isn’t a lot better in the “absurd” and “broken” department

For now! I'm interested to see what happens in the next 2-3 years. Especially during an economic low point.

Bay Area may yet be a good case study of how network effects blinds the incumbent to festering problems and enables disruption.

According to the alt-right there are only two possibilities: 1) San Franciscans are genetically superior. 2) San Francisco is made of Magic Dirt.
