So they've had a steep drop in night club business since 2014. They're powerless to do anything about these big trends.

I lived in SF in the early '90s when the EDM scene was first taking off. At the time it was genuinely fresh and exciting. Now? Not so much.
-
It goes without saying that EDM was very white music back in the day, as was much of the "hipster" scene in San Francisco back in the '90s.
-
One thing I noticed was that native Bay Area residents were at ease with multiculturalism and diverse sexualities and got along pretty well.
-
But a lot of uptight young East Coasters would turn up to live out their "radical SF utopia" and they were often much more ideological.
-
They tended to self-segregate in the local gay or lesbian scenes, for example, which contributed to overall Balkanization.
-
Most of my crew bugged out of the Bay Area in the mid-90s. The general feeling was SF had become a bit provincial and not very cosmopolitan.
