Stripe to move to South San Francisco

Is SSF still a large city in terms of cost of living and owning a home?

Personally, by living in a large city I'm giving up the ability to own a home in exchange for access to niche resources such as ethnic enclaves, bohemian artist communities, cultural events, groups dedicated to uncommon hobbies, etc. Just having trendy restaurants and coffee shops wouldn't do it for me.

|bohemian artist communities Do bohemian artist communities still exist in San Francisco? How can they afford to live there?

trust fund kids with their MFAs playing at being bohemians, more likely. These days a lot of people who would have been bohemians are drawing porn of cartoon characters on Patreon to pay the bills. Art is a rich man's game now.

I think you’ve nailed for me the difference between superficial trendiness and rich culture, in an urban setting
