Only SF residents can say and mean this, no city wants jobs to go away. It is not just jobs you don't like that goes, those jobs support and pays for a lot of other jobs in the area. They also a pay lot in taxes which keeps the city running

Ghost towns are not the same small towns. Larger cities become ghost cities not go back to being smaller.

SF is lot more likely to become Detroit if businesses leave, everyone should worry about that.



SF won’t become Detroit. I credit SFs culture for a lot of the innovation seen here. Not sure if it’s gold rush energy or what, but there’s an unparalleled optimism and just people looking to reinvent themselves.


I certainly hope so, I don't wish this either.

A lot of that optimism that makes SF vibrant is driven by the immigrant population [1].

The exodus that OP prefers, if it comes to pass will be lot more them than the 2nd-3rd gen residents

[1] immigrants to San Fran, or California or the U.S.
