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.

In fact this is what is already happening. San Francisco is the worst part of the entire Bay Area now. If “tech” were a drain, Mountain View would look like Hamsterdam, but it’s the opposite.

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.

A hypothetical ideal society would figure out some way to run politics such that San Francisco works, but in the time before we achieve that it seems like creating value outside of that trap is a better plan It would be like trying to develop digital cameras by taking over Kodak

We do not actually know how to clear away sclerotic bureaucracy run by networks of personal connections, graft, and tradition, but we do know how to build new organizations that can achieve cool shit.

I visited the bay area several times between 2009 ~ 2012 Mountain View was very nice. SF looked like a scary place to me. Had a GTA-like atmosphere. Everywhere is super dark at night, and many neighborhoods looked like havens for gangs.
