Sorry, but the 1960's were over 50 years ago--approaching 60. The locals who loved it for its character half a century ago will be dead by the time the "tech bubble moves on to the next hot location," if they aren't already.

Yeah. The "locals" will be all the people who moved here for the tech jobs.

And people forget that the reason there was so much culture in California in the 1960s was because of the booming economy, driven in large part by defense industries. Everybody was coming to California, and that drove cultural dynamism. SF was an extremely politically conservative city when the hippies came. They certainly didn't come to SF because they liked the locals; they came here along with everybody else and changed the city.

And because they're older than you, their opinions and values don't matter. Got it.

You do realize that age discrimination is a federal crime, right?
