A current SF Supervisor said this to me in private: "There will be a recession, and many of your members, well, they just won’t be here. They won’t have jobs. They’ll leave...I’m not saying our best days are behind us…but maybe the Bay Area isn’t going to be so attractive.”https://twitter.com/shane_bauer/status/1147197354401042433 …

The building industry never really recovered from the last recession. Lot of construction workers, architects, contractors, etc retired early or went into different line of work. One of the modular manufacturers closed. Part of the reason construction costs are high now.

A recession won't solve San Francisco's housing crisis. Might lower costs for couple years at most. What people are really wishing for is another city to become the world's tech hub. The question is then: do we want an internet built on San Francisco's values or something worse?

Honestly, what values remain in San Francisco that aren't already startup values?

Lots. Would we be having the same intensity of conversation about diversity/inclusion in the industry if it was centered in a red state? (Nope.)

Fair point. Absolutely fair.

Or the employee unrest over military contracting. Or AB5 and the current debate over what a post-Dynamex employee/contractor test will be. The tensions/criticism, as uncomfortable as it may seem for all parties, is the Bay Area/CA expressing its values onto industry.
