Most of all, I’m sad to leave the people I met and the friends I made in San Francisco. They’re some of the best I’ve ever known. They’re open-minded and smart and accepting and grounded and laid-back and free. Sure, San Franciscans are amazing guilt trippers and the most polite flakes. Yes, techies and yuppies are invading the city and making it ever more homogenous. But get to know some of those people and you’ll probably like them too – just don’t get them started on their latest “delightful product.”
I’ve never wanted to move out of San Francisco. It’s just sort of happened. For now, I’ll just have to settle with living vicariously through you, all the while looking forward to coming back again one day.
The entire article is wonderful for anyone that lived in such a great city but the closing is what made me link this article here.
There’s a culture of SF that is both beautiful and really makes me angry. For all of the negatives, it’s still a city that I love.
