Values and Realities in San Francisco

This chapter explores the tension between San Francisco's liberal values, particularly toward the LGBT community, and the critiques from the Christian right. It examines the complexities of homelessness, crime, and gentrification, highlighting how the tech elite often misinterpret social issues, overlooking their contributions to these problems. Through discussions of political dynamics and public safety, the chapter sheds light on the paradox of a city that champions freedom while grappling with intolerance for poverty.
