What’s the rationalist scene there like? Meetups? Socializing?
The SSC meet-up during Scott’s meetups everywhere tour drew over 140 people. So there’s a bunch of rationalists, but not any hubs. (Though there is a group house in Cambridge that runs LW meetups.)
There’s a local LW group, and before we had kids my wife and I would go most weeks. We also host (in non-pandemic times) a monthly EA dinner.
It used to be much more active and frictionless (the Citadel), but the Citadel got evicted sometime late 2016/2017.
They weren’t evicted. They negotiated an early end to the lease so the landlord could make repairs.
That’s not my understanding of what happened
