      Hey @crashdev have you tried marketing Seattle to Bay Area types with "we have 3 Din Tai Fungs, you only have one for twice as many people"?

          definitely some of that. But a lot of just boring/low quality build, poorly maintained. But that's lots of places, of course.

          it's just that the beauty of SF has become a truism, something everyone must assent to in order to stay in the good graces.
