I'm definitely curious about this relationship in other cities, and what happens to "culture" in cities that sprawl without physical restriction? Also, it's interesting that the creative process can benefit from imposing restrictions, and that the same idea can be applied to cities.

But how inspiring could our panel be if we weren't all so psyched on SF?

Wow. I actually ate dinner at Delfina last night and can concur with Liz Dunn's claim to its excellence. I wish the panel had spent some time discussing the psycho-geological aspects of various cities and the real impact on trends instead of serving as a tourism promo for the Bay Area.
