While I think this is a valid critique of many of the comments in this thread (including the current top one about SF being "dystopian"), I think you're being uncharitable to the author. Nowhere does he say he hates SF and is desperate to leave; though he is predicting decline if the housing and COL issues don't eventually get addressed.

Hopefully if you believe that the solutions to SF's problems are folks being positive, committed, and pitching in, you'll also agree that we need more inclusive land use policies (zoning and tax) that aren't aggressively pro-incumbent.
