crush this wherever you encounter it. crime numbers have not appreciably changed - what changed is that SF got a mayor that billionaires were happy with, and the doomloop narrative machine was wound down. rents are up 20% in the last year, homelessness is still really bad it's just been relocated 10 feet outside this guy's line of sight. tech is a scourge, SF is not a progressive or leftist city, it's been ravaged by decades of neoliberalism.

I read this whole post too quickly and my brain highlighted "AI scourge BART stations" and my first thought was yeah, the advertising at certain BART stations for AI products (coding assistants, coding reviews, reviews for your coding assistants, etc) is pretty dystopian. At least we don't have Minority Report style facial recognition personalized street level advertising yet. But I'm sure that's where we'll see it first.
