I've related this story before on HN, but it's good enough to share:
When I went and saw the new Wrath of Khan with my brother (now in Portland, at the time he was the Inner Richmond in SF), he surprised me when he told me what was most fantastic to him about the movie. It was not the space aliens, the faster than light travel, the giant spaceships, Cumberbatch's acting, no. To him, the most fantastic part was that there were highrises in SF. Space monsters? Sure. A sensible housing board? Woah buddy, you just crashed my suspension of disbelief!
