I’m depeoplizing humans, not dehumanizing people. It’s not because it inconveniences me, it’s because it is an accurate depiction of the situation on the ground in SF, which should not be downplayed. Some “people” have devolved to wild animals and we have a wild animal problem.

Glad you asked! It involves making it a national issue, canning Prop 13, raising property & luxury taxes, outsourcing the majority of long term housing and services to cheaper geo, creating more local temp housing, enforcing rules for existing programs, holding people accountable

None of those are things you can do they’re all things for other people to do. I want to know how you personally contributing to the community you’re deriding. Here’s an example: instead of speaking fees I have donations made to a local youth shelter.

Why go for the senate when I can go straight for Prez? Or, with all evil Tech profits I’m going to save by moving out of the city, maybe I could just buy some senators.

If you’re going to have a business in the city and lament the state of the people around you, you should actively contribute to improving that environment. There’s a needle exchange and counseling service near you that would love a donation.
