Pinterest wants a 311,000 sq ft building in downtown SF for their headquarters and they're willing to push out current tenants to get it done. Yikes. The office market in The City is very cut throat these days.

Pinterest's Design District deal would push out tenants - SFGate

Just as showroom businesses are bouncing back from the recession, dozens of tenants in the San Francisco Design Center building at 2 Henry Adams St. face likely eviction if the landlord is successful in obtaining the approvals needed to convert the 311,000-square-foot building into Pinterest's headquarters...

Hope they're prepared for battle. The usuals will hit the streets, and then some, in this case.

This IS a great thread.

That said, one must be careful to distinguish between something happening because of something else, and something happening despite something else. The area is attractive for a number of reasons. It's not impossible for there to be plenty of jobs in San Francisco AND for the city to be business unfriendly. It's quite plausible in San Francisco's case. Tulsa couldn't get away with it. San Francisco can.

Precisely correct

And I vote for anything that makes SF business unfriendly in hopes it will even slightly stem the tide of insane growth.

I can help you here. These are the things that you can do to make San Francisco less attractive to business. Simple anti-business policies aren't going to get it done. Here's my plan:

1. Get the city to take down the GG Bridge.

2. Remove Alcatraz and Angel Island. They look too good sitting out there. We need to get rid of as much scenery as we can.

3. "In the interest of the elderly who want to take up cycling", flatten the city. Get rid of those hills that contribute to the beauty.

4. Make it hot and humid like Houston.

5. Chop down Muir Woods. Get rid of anything close to San Francisco that is cool.

6. Relocate Napa, Sonoma, and the entire wine country. We can't have any world class wine destinations within a short drive.

7. Paint the coastline black with real crude oil. Make the entire coastline within 100 miles of San Francisco look like an eyesore.

8. You know that fog that rolls over the Marin Headlands and the rest of the city almost daily? Sometimes it looks pretty neat. Get rid of it. Anything and everything that adds charm needs to go.

9. Get rid of those nice Victorian homes. They belong in New England anyway.

10. Turn Fisherman's Wharf into a crack ***** mall.

11. Only allow the merchant's at Pier 39 to sell the same set of items you'd see at the market in Tijuana.

12. Pay to relocate all of the good chefs to some other city far away.

13. Get rid of those cool looking museums and any other building that has great architecture. Even City Hall looks better than many state capitals.

Once you've done all that not as many business owners and employees will want to live there. The problem is that you probably won't want to live there either. You'll be searching for another marina in some distant place to call home. The place will just be another city. In the meantime some CEO at some company is weighing where to run his business and has to decide. Geez, where would I rather live....Do I put up with protesters or live somewhere that blows Would I rather see Alcatraz or nothingness Would I rather drive to Napa for the day or drive 2 hours to visit a single po-dunk winery bragging about receiving 20 points for its vintage 2014 wine Would I rather walk through the Redwoods or a field full of Mesquite trees
