I kinda feel like;
Portland and Seattle are in the process of becoming soulless technocratic fap fantasies, but even the people who want that somehow also want to keep some of the original character that brought the tech sector here.
LA started soulless and even though it still kinda is, somehow Angelinos gave the place a character of its own.
San Francisco became a soulless technocratic fap fantasy decades ago and just becomes a different one. There’s nothing good left there.
@Leucrotta SF is the one that saddens me the most, since I was born there, and used to visit it a lot.
