I just listened to the charts in the radio. Since streaming is included, it's just sad. Most top songs are more than 40, 50, 100 one even song over 250 weeks in the charts (Switzerland). The "hits" are all just boring radio / background music. Of course there is cool new music, but today nothing such is played in the normal radio.
It wasn't until I think around ww2 when sf got fucked really hard population wise, that had like some maybe good 10 years until the burden on the infrastructure and culture just blew it to bits, I know people with family histories in the bay going back until the gold rush and they really know what's been going on and why it's so bad
This post is about 20 years after WWII, so that timeline doesn't really line up.
