Your comment resonated deeply with me as it put into words something I’ve been trying to express for a while now - so thank you!

I too think that it’s odd as well as discouraging that people so often express their disdain of a place (SF seems to be the popular punching bag as of late) in the context of “What can this place do for me?”. It’s in sharp contrast from a perspective of “This is my home. I’m a part of the inherent fabric of the city. What do we all need to do together to make our home a better place and how are we falling short?”
