Stand up for preservation! Work as hard as we can to preserve all of these traditions and to keep them vibrant in our city so that we don’t lose that diversity.

I think San Francisco always has that reputation. It’s wide open and free. People came here and do anything they want and be who they want to be.

San Francisco is a great city to get lost. It isn’t just a city to work in. It’s a city to engage in, to wander
around, and lost a little bit, to take time off.

There are a lot of differences between long-term
locals and tech workers, but it doesn’t mean they have to hate each other.
