Which is why I dislike the GDP being thrown around in discussions as the ultimate dick measuring metric. High economic value activities don't translate or don't trickle down into high social value environments.

For example, I went to visit SF as young lad and I was expecting to be blown away given the immense wealth that area generates, but was severely disappointed with what I saw on the street. I used to think my home area of Eastern Europe is kind of a shithole, but SF beats that hands down. Like there's dozens of places on this planet that are way nicer to live in than SF despite being way poorer by comparison.
