He replied, "I call it San Francisco Industrial Complex - after other terms like 'Military and Prison Industrial Complex' -

He went on to say "San Francisco is one of the most affluent cities in the United States with a Homeless Crisis that makes it look like a 3rd World country in the shadow of the Salesforce Tower and other Tech companies. I wanted to explore these contrasts in this city."
