Now, there& #39;s nothing to stop SF from growing at 5% per year this year as well. There& #39;s no reason it shouldn& #39;t. Expanded tech workforce might do it.
It& #39;s just other metros are also going to see growth jump from a meager 1-2% to a roaring 3%.

negative-0% : feels miserable, terrible sad stories
1-2% : sort of boring, but okay
3-4% : yeah! the kind of vibe you get from 90s movies set in New York
5%+ : Burning Man level insanity
