Imagine there’s no Silicon Valley

Take a walk with me — Time travel fuzzy screen…. where are we? Oh! We’re in San Francisco in 2023, but it’s another universe, one where the tech bubble didn’t happen.

I’m sorry but you can’t sleep here

And a dozen other messages we need to deliver to San Francisco’s mayoral candidates — San Francisco is in a terrible mess. And at a crossroads, with a brilliant opportunity.
