SF was always the Accidental Billionaire. Because of proximity to Silicon Valley, it benefitted from tech wealth its policies did nothing to create. Its collapse will redistribute opportunity to rest of country. So SF politicians will “spread the wealth” just not how they thought

Do you think the accepting part is still true?
Good point. SF is certainly much more intolerant than it used to be. It's still probably more tolerant than the US average, but for sure the margin has decreased.

It’s much more tolerant of some things, and much less tolerant of everything else

It's probably more tolerant of than most places with regard to most things except hardline conservative positions.

Replace “hardline conservative” with any non-controversial position that doesn’t entirely align with their world view and I agree.

I would like to hear from people of color on this. At least on diversity, my feeling is, SF is less diverse now than when I first moved here.

Perhaps a better perspective on this great city https://om.co/2020/11/24/on-not-leaving-san-francisco/ … "Right now, it seems that not just leaving San Francisco, but kicking it on the way out, has become a bit of a meme."

Tolerant is probably the wrong word. Because the things it's "tolerant" of it actually likes. Like it doesn't *tolerate* someone being trans. It actively celebrates someone being trans. To be "tolerant" you have to have a negative opinion about the thing but accept it anyway. >

And in that way SF doesn't sound very tolerant at all
