Mothers aged 35+ account for almost half of the births in SF (vs. 26.3% for CA overall) These geriatric pregnancies are at a higher risk for premature birth, low birth weight & birth defects, all of which are associated with lower IQs & other poor developmental outcomes

Yes, risk is relatively slightly higher, enough to trigger some additional mandatory checkups but not extremely high.

I suspect a massive surge in housing starts in SF would bring down the local percentage of age 35+ pregnancies. Who knows whether that housing will ever appear, though...

Another issue is the misery caused by women only discovering they have low fertility at 35+. At younger ages they have time to calmly try solutions. At 35+ it’s panic time.

I guess the offspring of the Phoenix 19 year old parents will replace the ones of the SF engineers in a couple of generations... Unless the engineers manage to clone themselves into some sort of closed community, that we cannot rule it out completely... https://twitter.com/c4mer0n/status/1099721246034382848?s=21 …

I think we should speed up grade school. People should be graduating college by 18. They're largely bored and the systems are inefficient.

Are you sure about this?
