Are you referring to the place with so much opportunity and so much to do that they can regulate business to the point of restriction and still be a desirable place to live? Ja, I guess that really disproves my point.

I think it’s 10X more expensive than where I’m at.

Putting an impenetrable pay wall around your city is pretty ****ing fascist

What Silicon Valley culture has done to the Bay Area is a lot ****tier than what the republicans have done around here

Funniest thing I've read all year. You really need to get out more.

Womp womp.

Whoa a business insider video? I can tell that you've really thought this through.

I agree. It’s too bad they lacked the courage to produce a culture where everybody can live there. Silicon Valley generated the wealth to create cummunal living spaces, comfortable rent controlled or even rent free housing for the people who created the culture they love, they could have preserved the Hispanic and black diversity but all they did was buy it and wall it off. They talk about connectivity and bridges but in terms of practice they live exactly like Trump. I’m no more welcome there than I am in the Trump Tower or Mar a Lago and they use the exact same power structure to exclude me. You can’t hoard wealth and property and not be the problem. I respect the republicans in north Texas more than property owners in the Bay Area because in actual practice they’re less exclusionary. The Republicans around here may be misguided but they’re not part of an oligarchical ruling class that actively limits my mobility. The Bay Area is prohibitively expensive. That’s real tangible oppression not just a philosophy.

Freedom of the press my good man. What are you, some kind of fascist? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Megachurch.

Conclusion: America sucks from sea to shining sea.

Pointing out your inability to support your own stances beyond regurgitating the culture war bull**** that you read on The Fedaralist is not a threat to freedom of the press.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much. Or maybe you just don't have the attention span to actually look at what's happening over there. OH distilled a fair amount of what that video actually goes over. It isn't "culture war bull****", it's that SF is no longer a place where the vast majority of people can make a sustainable living. It's exactly the kind of place that Republicans love to use as a prime example of why liberals shouldn't run cities without right-wing oversight at the state level.

My comments about "freedom of the press" were more directed to your idiotic dismissal of a legitimate story covering a real problem rather than whether or not San Francisco had any good points culturally.

Conclusion: humans aren't capable of governing themselves in complex systems since they don't understand complex systems.
