San Francisco and cities like it are not oil wells; they are collaborative social efforts that ideally involve participation from everyone involved. Paying taxes (ie paying someone else to do something for you) is great, but you always have the invitation to roll your sleeves up and participate in more ways.

Have you ever picked up trash? Or helped build a trail? Or gone to a city town hall meeting? Written to a local committee? Volunteered at the food bank?

If you’re like me and have the privilege of affording to live here, before and during COVID, this is still a lovely place to live an interesting, fulfilling and content life.

Be here, take part :)
