An inconvenient, embarrassingly small truth
Apparently, San Francisco is part of a global trend of shrinking cities now being studied at Cal. "The shrinkage forces at play include swift economic change, declining birth rates and smaller households," the Chron explains.
Imagine what kind of shrinkage we're going to have when global warming covers half the city in cold, cold water.

Aren't declining birthrates and smaller households good, because they indicate that children are being conceived deliberately and given more attention and financial resources?
Your shrunken post makes me think of A.I., which I recently re-watched. Hmm.

I know. i always get confused when analysts fret over American population decline. Who needs more people? There's probably some economic reason that it's scary.
