The way to be “cool” is to have cheap housing in a big city so all the bohemian and beatnik types who make $20K/year can come in and do their artsy stuff. This was what Berlin did in the 1990s.
Right now SF is just for people making $400K+ a year. And those people will never be cool.

We ought to romanticize SF more if we ever want this city to be actually cool
