      The Bay Area May be the best example I’ve ever seen of how sticky network effects can be. Everyone in SF/Silicon Valley realizes how absurd and broken many things are here. Yet if you look at how people vote with their feet and dollars the vast majority just stay.

      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.

          Hi Austen. So would you advice anyone to move to SF in pursuit of their dream?

          I actually think the tide has turned a bit. From my age group of friends that moved here 7-8years ago, many are starting to leave Bay Area (especially if they started a family).https://twitter.com/jmover/status/1018344393659387904?s=21 …

          It's entirely anecdotal, but in the SF Mom's FB group, someone posted a message saying "it feels like everyone in my age bracket (30-35) is leaving... WHERE IS EVERYONE GOING?" - overwhelming majority of 1K+ comments revolved around ppl leaving for cities w cheaper housing

          Cowen’s “The great stagnation” talks about the lack of migration more broadly. It’s a bigger trend I think not unique to sf (although more ridiculous here bc of the ludicrous policies)

          What data set are you looking at? This seems to say more people are leaving - though we’d need to compare to other metro areas. https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/amp/Bay-Area-population-growth-slows-some-counties-11021334.php …

          I don’t think it’s network effects, just an inability to do QOL calculus, which is 1 part the difficulty in moving and 1 part difficulty in reconciling to a lower salary.

          Inertia seems like a fact of life. I had also assumed the opposite, left SF, tend to leave things I find broken in general. But too avant-garde for most. Like with products, probably need something else 10x better to cause a switch.

          I love the Bay. Moved here 3 years ago and wish I had moved 10 years ago. It has it's problems but it also has a lot of great people in the community that are willing to work to fix those problems

          I think VC's should fund a startup company to take over SF government (legally, by elections). It might do more social good than other crazy funded companies.

          Totally agree, it's getting unaffordable and unpleasant but still because of the people and opportunity we end up sticking around. Personally frosty winters (NYC; Colorado; Chicago) and rainy/overcast weather (Seattle; Portland; Miami) are a turn off. Leaves LA, Austin & Phoenix.

          All that’s needed is a way to forcibly exclude the homeless and SF will be a fairly effective enclave.
