^ Wow, that is exactly what I’ve heard. I shared before that a lady from the Bay Area also noted that SF was totally dead while Chicago last summer felt lively
Some of it is the fact that some West Coast people have gotten positively goofy about the pandemic (my friend from LA who is a doctor says he talks to people who are young and healthy who discuss keeping their windows open in order to protect themselves from Covid. ). But I can’t help to think that a part of it is SF just being so tech oriented that it’s sort of gone overboard. So many nerdy software types who just work from home and order deliveries every day, and are otherwise socially awkward.
Chicago has that element but it’s still a business, trading, and salesman kind of town and I hope it stays that way.
