I agree in the beginning about the injection of technology into our lives having an unreasonable effect on loneliness and the loss of an immeasurable uniqueness. The rest seems to be an attack on billionaires for making san Francisco suck. It's kind of a weird article when it transitions away from the first point.
Frankly, this is a fairly typical Boomer/doomer article about San Francisco, but it seems like HN has unlimited appetite to discuss the matter!
