> My theory is San Francisco evangelists have Stockholm syndrome

There do seem to be a whole lot of people around CA with outright delusional ideas about Scandinavian cultures and policy choices. For all their much vaunted "socialism" (with Scandinavian characteristics) Stockholm is a lot less dysfunctional than San Francisco.

I don’t think the parent is referring to Stockholm (the city), but rather Stockholm Syndrome, the psychological phenomenon.
