It’s amazing how these cities/states continue to elect democrat leadership. Clueless

Butler’s Germany was also an economic powerhouse, as is modern-day China as a whole.

A healthy economy usually goes hand in hand with tyranny and subjugation.

Detroit collapsed because the car industry collapsed. I don’t see a tech industry collapse on the horizon any time soon.

But it seems pretty clear SF is headed into a long, slow decline after years of bad leadership.

I think it’s more likely to become the next Chicago.

Lol @deloitte im from chicago… would you say they’ve had a lot of good mayors lately?

And @softwareengineer i wouldnt say chicago is a horrible place, nor is SF, but Chicago has flat (almost declining) population, massive debt that prevents the city gov from effectively solving problems and the innovative companies that used to flock there to open their HQ’s have now moved elsewhere.

I was making the point that SF is still doing pretty well, but its influence is starting to wane (like Chicago’s did). And if they dont course correct, it will continue to slide off.

SF was never fully driving by tech industry. That's like an afterthought.

Tesla just moved out of the area so I don’t think the trend of SF becoming a motor city is there

Vast differences between the two. Detroit was never what SF has ever been.
I highly doubt that houses will sell for $10k in SF any time soon.
