San Francisco permabulls cannot be helped.

But at least artists can live there again! Which seemed to be a goal post. As if every currently-nice neighborhood wasn’t a complete slum underneath a highway the last time artists could afford to live there.

The sweet spot is finding where all the artists are moving there or nearby. Within 10 years it will boom. Then the artists will leave and it'll be Starbucks and 24 hour gyms until it rots into a slum and the cycle starts again.

Sounds like if you’re in a boring nice place you need to keep those pesky artists away :P
