Wow I just came across this post and there must've been something in the air in February. I wrote my first post defending / celebrating arts and culture in San Francisco right before Valentine's Day as well. The Substack (San Francisco Has [No] Culture) has been about helping people see what amazing access to culture we have here in the Bay (and celebrating the artists themselves), and writing it has made me love the city even more. I so identify with how you've celebrated the city and recognized its flaws while also calling out what it means to engage. There's so much opportunity here!
