I have to say, Om Malik is great, but that entire article just says “I like San Francisco and even though others have left, I am staying because I like it and have been here for a while.”

I wish it had a bit more perspective on what he thinks will happen with the city, recovery, reasons not to go, a way to use this as an opportunity, or anything.

For that matter, I would love to hear anyone’s perspective on why to stay and how it could be a good thing now.

I’ve been gone all of Covid and keep coming back to visit, but don’t see a good way back. I wish I could hear some optimism from anyone about why it’s a good idea to be there or to go there now (or soon). Any thoughts welcome :)
