After almost thirty-two years in San Francisco, I’m joining the exodus. Family played a major role in this decision, propelled by COVID-induced reflections on mortality and meaning, as well as the sudden ease of working remotely. I’ll certainly miss my haven of interlocking Bay Area communities. But I really regret that San Francisco is making it so easy to leave.
