SF trolled tech and let them have the Tenderloin. It took all those bright folks a decade to figure it out.

Don't understand this comment? Did SF encourage tech companies to locate in the Tenderloin?

It's more sarcasm than not. He's saying it was never a desirable area but tech companies moved there anyway despite theoretically having the money to be nicer places.

Name a tech company with an office in the Tenderloin.

I can't think of one, but I also can't tell the difference between the tenderloin and SOMA anymore.

Everyone's comments makes sense to me if you swap SOMA in for tenderloin

Microsoft, Twitter, Dolby are 3 who share an intersection! Square and Uber just a block away.

Like the other people who replied, you flunked geography. None of these companies are anywhere near the Tenderloin.

Yes. It did. The mayor was in our office to celebrate the tax incentives of companies to relocate there. Then Twitter followed.

They’re intelligent, not bright.

Not OP but

Intelligence is having knowledge (think book knowledge )

Bright is like sharp. (think street smart or think things through that are complexed)

I have friends that I consider very intelligent that are not bright. One makes $200k as an actuary but can't figure out how to talk to his kids in a way that sounds human/normal.

That does not seem to be the typical definition of intelligence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence#Definitions

Intelligence is usually defined in terms of adaptability, ability to learn, solve problems, etc.
