The conclusions here lack perspective and very specifically aren't going to be fixed by more aunties. The problems they are finding are mostly specific to San Francisco and their supposed "issue" is nationwide. It's so easy to refute this.

> But, why is SF full of homeless, drug addict people. The society values individualism so much that it’s ok to have people in misery, defecating in public.

Because San Francisco is one of the most gentrified areas in America? Most of these people have probably lived there longer than you, but were displaced by higher-wage individuals and now suffer the consequences. SF spent so long kowtowing to big corporations that they forgot to support their low/middle class workers. This is why MBA graduates serve you salad when you're downtown, and not a teenager in high school. The people that moved into SF destroyed the families and "aunties" that formerly existed.

> The results are very clear in SF. Innovator extremists turns into Longtermism, Cyber-Libertarianism, Transhumanism. Gay extremists turns into Sexual Liberalism, Nudism, Kinkism, Queerism, Postgenderism.

This is obsessing over a small portion of the pie, and again, it's a global phenomenon. We see radical thinking even when it's oppressed, and often we're only offended by it because we can't demand other people forfeit their individual rights and change for our sake. Dear Abby had this figured out decades ago:

  When a writer complained about a gay couple moving in and asked how he could improve the quality of the neighborhood, Pauline “Dear Abby” Phillips replied “You could move.”
