You know the line, the future is here, it's just not evenly distributed.

San Francisco is ground-zero for the coming cyberpunk dystopia.

If the cyberpunk dystopia involves aged hippies yelling about neighborhood character and historical parking lots in zoning board meetings

luxury high-rises, tent cities, autonomous cars, sidewalk bazars, tech workers dancing on designer drugs while the homeless overdose & die in the gutters outside...

There's nothing cyberpunk about this. Just good old fashioned bad governance, done in the traditional manner.

On the contrary, "good old fashioned bad governance" is an important feature of cyberpunk

Sure but SF isn't just another run-down city, it's also the center of the tech universe! So you've got the driverless cars, geeks on one-wheels, the salesforce tower's continually animating digital display, &c. That's what makes it feel cyberpunk to me: The latest tech rubbing shoulders with grimy urban decay.
