GDP per capita is a poor measure of productivity, and doesn't consider externalities.

SF is pretty good at producing emotionally manipulative adtech to opt every Internet and smartphone user into a global panopticon, and also quite prolific at social media that turns our lives into perpetually distracting hedonic treadmills.

Time will tell whether the "productivity" of SF was a net benefit to Civilization.

I'm just looking at people making good money for themselves (from high wages), and paying taxes for the benefit for the rest of the country.
