## Transcript

[ MUSIC ] It's this combination of new blood and new technology that I think makes San Francisco the most exciting place right now to be young, rich, and single. [ MUSIC ] Hi, I'm Tony Bravo. I'm a style reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle and I write our relationship column, Connectivity. San Francisco is the best place to be young, rich and single, because we are one of the most naturally beautiful cities on the face of the Earth. The way the fog rolls in across that Golden Gate Bridge will never cease to take my breath away. [ MUSIC ] We are the best place to be young, rich, and single because we are the center of the technology that's not only changing the business world and the technology sector but it's changing the way people connect to one another and it's changing single life here.

We can swipe it. We will date it. I think that everybody is For the most part, using apps as their primary to find people. If you see 100 different people in an app on a profile page, you really are aware of the fact that we have a lot of variety. Anything you want is available to you with a swipe of your finger, whether you need a car to pick you up, you need a reservation at the hot new restaurant, all of these things are available with the app. and that. As are the people that you want to encounter when you're there. The connections that you want to make. [ MUSIC ] The cultural life here, long before there was a tech industry, has always been so rich that you are never at a loss for something to do.

You never have to have the same date here twice with the incredible local foods and the incredible performance events, the art events that you can go to, the bars, the carefully curated experiences that are available here. And with this incredible menage of people that are come in internationally, I think that we are becoming one of the best looking cities in terms of our population. If I'm gonna be young, rich and single in any city it would be San Francisco because it is just where everything's happening. [ MUSIC ]
