As a native San Franciscan, I can only say, “bye Felicia!”

With all the techbros and bankers fleeing home to connecticut or wherever it is they’re from, we can rebuild our destroyed community.

Hopefully this will spread to San Mateo County and the Santa Clara valley.

Startup brats have turned oir vibrant, freaky, hippy, radical home into a bedroom community for the most boring rich people in the world.

Covid is a godsend.

Those Felicias are the majority of the tax base, and fund all of the initiatives that rebuild communities. Falling housing prices -> falling property taxes -> less funding for schools. Even the new revenue tax passed last year to fund homeless programs is based employees being in SF, when they leave, no more funding.

Not to mention all the money the Felicias pump into the local economy by ubering to brunch to buy their avocado toast and bottemless mimosas from local businesses.
