On: San Francisco Is Eating Itself

You used the word 'important' for 'expensive'. That, in my opinion, is a fallacy.

It is expensive. That's different from important.

But don't you agree that the reason an area would increase in value (which often converts to the monetary type) to a lot of people is because it holds some sort of importance to them?

Whether it be intellectual importance, industrial importance, creative importance, etc

[lolwutf → onedev]

To wrap the varied values of an area up into a single word - 'importance' - is a gross oversimplification to the extent that it can even be considered incorrect.

It is, however, and undeniably, expensive.

No reason it can't be both. One usually leads to the other.
