The SF second-hand story is pretty ridiculous to me. SF very obviously has problems, some of which have gotten worse, some of which have existed since I was a kid.
"Homeless camps!" yeah, literally for as long as I can remember.
"Cost of living!" COMPLETELY manageable (which is being generous: it's actually just irrelevant) for someone making $1M USD
"Drug use!" Really? In SF? No way.
I understand it's a personal issue, and I understand certain areas of SF can be shocking to people from Calgary, for example, and certain aspects of the city are getting worse for everyone. But the constant post-apocalyptic wasteland nightmare tales from yuppie 1%ers and small city tourists is exhausting to read.
