my point is that if sf were so terrible there wouldn't be DROVES of people moving here every year, PARTICULARLY from ohio. yes, sf has huge issues, and MOST of them lead right back to people moving here from out of state so they can tell people from here how bad it is or how terrible we are doing or what we should really do now. read your OWN post again, and you will see what i mean.
i realize it must be super annoying to move somewhere and then have someone tell you how awesome it is for forever, and how much where you are from sucks. but if where you were from was so awesome and spectacular, you would still be there, and if you don't want to hear how awesome somewhere new is, then don't move there. this just reads off as "OH SF, LET ME TELL YOU HOW YOU SHOULD BE" which is yet another privileged out of stater coming around to act like their commentary on sf is worth something. it's not. because you are either from here or from there (in the heart, not where you were born), and if you aren't from here, your commentary on here isn't genuine, because it means you are just another flyover *person* who lives in sf for awhile before middleage, whines about how terrible it is, and then moves away eventually. about the only group worse than people who move here to spend their youth then flee are people who voted for prop 13.
