• San Francisco deserves greater recognition41%

  Supporters present San Francisco and the wider Bay Area as a distinctive, enjoyable place, citing its cultural importance, natural scenery, weather, outdoor music, cannabis prices, and personal pride. Some also argue that the region should receive more major exhibits and cultural events.

  • “i might be biased because i love the bay area so much but im so glad that the exhibit is being held in sf and not la (even though i currently live there) we never really get anything in northern california so this is one of the few wins we've gotten in the past 8 years 🥹 im glad”

  • “One thing you probably don’t know about the San Francisco Bay Area is that it’s not very fond of Rock music. Sacramento has the big rock festival this weekend called Aftershock, but the Bay Area has nothing like that, so you have to travel to Sacramento or LA for Rock festivals.”
