Not sure why you are downvoted. This is correct. Ordinary citizens have had to put up with so much worse in their day to day lives in SF due to the lack of these supes doing their jobs. I can attest, I have lived in SF over the last 7 years and have seen its decline.
Based out the Bay Area.

I have heard of a company in the Bay that did this! Reliable Robotics had people start on a Monday only to lay them off later that week.

Re:Ask HN: True Apartment Costs in SF? on Wednesday January 15, 2020 @05:41PM (#22059619)
My last apartment was $3200 for about 800 sq ft 1br in a quaint well kept Victorian apartment building that was a 15 minute walk to FiDi. Had nice big bay windows and all. My only gripe (not big ones either) was no washer/dryer in unit although the building had some for tenants and street parking only.
