>Most of SFs biggest problems like affordability are caused by too many people wanting to live there. These are problems other cities are jealous of.

Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? How the fuck can you brag about incompetence? Seriously. This isn't magic. All you have to do is absolutely nothing to achieve this outcome. It's basically the opposite of prosperity. Vancouver is also suffering from this "success". Berlin too. Are they examples of cities to look up to? Hell no.

People are not jealous of your city taking jobs hostage and extorting people who want to live there. After all, the pandemic ruined your cities' ability to take jobs hostage. That's why people are leaving.

When I think of SF I think of hundreds of thousands of people who failed to make it because of gate keeping.
