SF's crime debate turns nasty

I think quite a lot of tech people really don’t have any understanding that most cities are not like this. I don’t get it because they travel for conferences. Do they never stop and think ‘huh I wonder why it’s different here…’

They do understand. They don't care. SF is a transient place for many. They stay while it is good and leave when it isn't. They never really get invested in the city.

This is the exact opposite of my experience: it’s the techies who want to fix San Francisco and the longtime residents who shriek that nothing is wrong and how dare you even suggest we need to change anything you racist.

That would require that they consider that any place outside of SF was worth living in.
