Comment on A crowd destroyed a driverless Waymo car in San Francisco

  I wasn’t being totally serious, it’s true the bay area is significantly more racially diverse than the US as a whole, but the issues and political atmosphere in the area isn’t so far removed from the general population.

    most of the people outside the bay area dont know that most of the people in the bay outside of SF generally doesnt like the city and is completely unrepresentative to what the Bay actually is like.

      Even within SF there’s plenty of great areas, but “peace and tranquility in the sunset district” doesn’t make headlines. SF has a ton of problems and I really hope we can fix them in the long term, but they tend to only be percent in certain parts of the city. Saying all of SF is like this is akin to saying the entire bay area is like SF. They’re both massive overgeneralizations.

    You need a reality check.

    There is no other part of the US where people leave their cars open so thieves can see there’s nothing to steal.

    There is no other part of the US where a mob has destroyed an autonomous taxi.

    Other than perhaps Manhattan and sections of LA there is no place with higher housing prices.

    These are very, very far removed from the rest of the US.

      The first point about leaving your car open, people do that everywhere, car break-ins are prevelant across the country.

      There are very high housing prices but also high wages, though yes it’s worse than a lot of the country as far as inequality. The bay area is more than San Francisco though, have you spent much time in the area? If there were more autonomous Waymo cars in cities this wouldn’t be the only time it’s happened.

        What the actual fuck are you talking about? There is no other city in this nation where people leave their cars open. Not a single one.

        You’re either trolling or so disconnected from reality it’s terrifying.

        On the off chance you’re just ignorant this is your official notice: the way you live is not normal.
