S.F. can afford to lose thousands of people like me and my partner -- educated professionals who love their city and donate time and energy to make it a better place. It's that beautiful, cosmopolitan, and blessed by nature; someone else will take our places. But it makes me very sad to have left my hometown just to be able to own a home, and angry that I had to do so in part because of the venality of our politicians, labor unions, neighborhood activists, and rent-control nuts.
