Did that ever really exist?
-
I lived there for some time
-
"What's in this warehouse?" seemed 50/50 "some startup" "an artist community" and each were equally "weird but okay if that's who you are.."
-
Ooo I gotcha. I feel like that exists in pockets! But the same pockets as always. Heck, my neighborhood (19th & Harrison).
-
19th and Harrison is one of the last bastions. But did they really demolish the old Cellspace? For art, most of the strongholds are gone.

I remember running an underground housing/couch placement service for college friends. You could get somewhere livable for $500
-
You can't just land in SF without means anymore (this is due in part I think to Airbnb). If you did, shelter in place. It's not as casual.
-
That makes sense. We had a friend literally go to an open house for us and drop off a check before we landed. But that was lucky/privilege.

I wonder if we have to start again. Pick a new city and drag pioneers over
-
Yes. Only the already entrenched and wealthy can afford SF right now. Or NYC, Boston, Seattle, Portland, Austin, …
-
The next really big thing is going to happen in Mumbai, Jakarta, Lagos, or Medellin, and SF will be wondering wha??
