> property values tank

The idea that SF property values are going to tank is, well, completely disconnected from reality.

If property values did tank, there would be a far better chance of solving SF's problems, but the root problem is that about 1.5x-5x people want to live in SF than they allow for homes to be built, creating massive inequality and misery.

The revulsion you feel at living in SF is quite similar to the feeling many have about not living in SF.

Happened in Baltimore, Detroit, formerly nice places in Minneapolis, Chicago, New Orleans...

It's not "if" but "when."
