@woody or even compared to 20 years ago coz of gentrification and tech etc
But the law and order crowd always had an obsession for the crime and safety in my neighborhood, that they haven’t even been to
@skinnylatte
San Francisco and Seattle and now Minneapolis. Changing targets, or adding to the set that constitutes the rhetorical "other." -
@skinnylatte Apparently they stumbled across the Doggie Diner dog.

@skinnylatte
I remember being astounded when I moved to Hong Kong that housing prices anywhere could be higher than in San Francisco... but total cost of living was lower, and quality of life was higher, since so many things (like Michelin-starred meals) which would have been unaffordable and inconvenient in San Francisco were cheap and easy in HK.@woody I feel that a lot (Singapore is very similar with housing prices and also similar to HK food culture)

1. Expecting all of SF to be a post apocalyptic hell scape
2. Believing that SF is so incredibly expensive that when you get here you will spontaneously combust when you are shocked by the outrageous prices of everything*
* it is expensive but unless you’re renting here, day to day stuff is.. fine? Like you get a range of prices of things depending on where you go? I always think this when I get my $1 bag of vegetables
@skinnylatte fox news is a hell of a drug

@skinnylatte lol, that sounds like a line from the simpsons
Also might be taking The Boy there tomorrow

@skinnylatte
If Paris is the queen of cities, then SF has been the Crown Princess for well over a century; how freaking condescending and demeaning is calling her “surprisingly pleasant!”🤬

@skinnylatte big cities always have problem areas but what are they on about?

@skinnylatte I'm always amazed at how gullible people are about how Other Places are, whether it's another country or another place in their own country. I would hope that when people are "surprised" like this, it makes them reevaluate where they get their information.
Btw I'm going to be in SF next month for the GDC! It will be less interesting than usual because fewer people from other countries are able to attend US-based events.

@skinnylatte I think in terms of retail pricing you just need to know the right places, I’ve found places cheaper than Santa Cruz/Berkeley all over the city,

People can't be this fucking gullible .... can they?

@skinnylatte I mean, produce especially is super cheap in San Fran compared to Toronto. (Hyperspecific example only because I live in Toronto but have a partner in San Francisco.)
