Honest question: Why do so many good companies {OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.} continue to set up offices in the highest-crime neighborhoods of SF (most notably: Mission and the vinicity of Market)?

I feel like they would do their less-physically-tough employees (women, people with disabilities, physically smaller men) a HUGE favor by moving to Potrero Hill or some other safer neighborhood.

I shouldn't have to fear for my physical safety to get to/from work. I live in a very low-crime area for a reason.

A level of grittiness has been long sought after by innovators, artists, writers, and the like. Too much comfort is not good for creative endeavors because you quickly become out of touch.

I'll believe that when I see the mansions of the company owners and top management in the middle of such areas.
