I used to like SF — lived there a long time — but the problem is, I remember when it was way better than it is today, so it is very hard to like now. And personally, my life tactic has been to observe that “change from within” people almost always fail, and act accordingly.

The way to show that your thing is better is just to let the lame-ass people be lame-ass and go do the better thing, uncompromisingly. The lame-asses’ thing will fall apart and yours, if it is good, won’t. Then you don’t need to have 10000 useless arguments.

All that said, I agree with the article’s stance that SF’s decline bodes poorly for the future of the USA. For that reason, and for image purposes (probably many Americans think SF is the home of “tech”) it would be a good idea to fix it. That just seems impossible.

The only reason they got the prosperity was those people showed up in the first place. Once the people leave the prosperity cannot be destroyed the same way.

This is the same thing with Jai. In my mind I was agreeing with make-your-own-language but not with go-to-a-better-place. To fix a city from within maybe would require to make your own city within it.
