WHAT OUR FUTURE LOOKS LIKE: 20 Things That Will Happen When No One Can Afford to Live in America Anymore. “Although I haven’t been to San Francisco since COVID, one of the things I always noticed visiting there was that none of my Uber drivers in San Francisco actually LIVED within 30 minutes of San Francisco.
