San Francisco's AI-Fueled 'Cleanup' and London's Non-Dom Tax Exodus

Tim argues cities like San Francisco only get 'better' for sinister reasons (AI companies wanting clean streets to build data centers), then transitions into London abolishing its non-dom tax rule, which is driving wealthy expats to flee.
- Spencer Pratt claimed he'd leave LA if he lost his mayoral election, but Tim argues there's no saving cities like LA or London—large parts are unlivable hellscapes that will only worsen.
- Politicians always claim one or two fixes will solve everything, but Skid Row has been Skid Row for decades and won't meaningfully improve, even with the Olympics.
- If Democrats were smart, they'd wonder why their ideology is pushing people toward voting for Spencer Pratt.
- San Francisco is getting better right now, but only because AI companies are moving in—not for reasons anyone would actually want.
- The homeless problem on San Francisco streets has disappeared, replaced by people building data centers to replace workers and their families.
- Tim compares San Francisco's transformation to the eye of Sauron—improvement through dystopian means, like how Mordor had no crime because everyone served the same dark purpose.
