    I get the gist of what you are trying to convey, but why did institutional investors enter residential housing in the first place?

    You laugh but the homele… err, people experiencing homelessness have one of the most powerful political lobbies in the city.

    Obligatory

    Now this is something you can shit on the city for. Those tweakers have been in that area for years.

    I work a few blocks away and walked by the murder scene this afternoon. It’s around the corner from Red’s Java House, under the Bay Bridge. There’s typical fidi sketchiness there (two screaming schizos in the street at 2 pm) but it’s certainly not Hunters Point or Vis Valley. That area is dead at night and totally agree if he were out at some nearby late night bar (are there any?) we should know by now where he was. Rough crowds will come over from the east bay and run side shows on Embarcadero sometimes so they can bolt when SFPD shows up - maybe he got mugged and fought back?

    1967, imo.

    JFC, I didn’t even know that was possible, I thought everything there was an SRO for people to shoot up in.

    Unless you are in a few areas (which I agree have absolutely gone downhill) views like that are your daily life and why you pay to be here, and frankly if you commute in from Marin to the Financial District for work you’re not in a position to comment on the quality of life in the other 48 square miles of the city. I’ll be the first to comment on the city’s dysfunction, but I’d push back on the notion that this homicide is reflective of anything and is mainly notable because of what an aberration it is. Shit like this happens in Oakland all the time.

    we are never going to recover, what a shithole

    I wouldn’t call it a nice part of town and there is absolutely the usual sketchy S.F. shit going on at night, but a homicide is extremely unusual. SF’s violent crime feels very much like Austin’s. 🙄

    Kind of a weird article. I don’t think it has to do with popularity but the dynamics of expensive areas. Gen Zers can’t afford coastal metro areas yet and boomers/older Gen-Xers are paying cash if they buy at all, so it makes sense millennials would be the largest buying group by far in those areas.

    Conceptually, a demand-fixing scheme allowing $300k households to get into bidding wars is the opposite of what California needs and is quite an irritating development in the midst of the housing element battle. I wouldn’t be particularly worried about your concerns - if anything, this could have Prop 13-like effects and encourage people to stay in their homes until they die. Sure, homeownership is ideal (I aspire to it!) but affordability in HCOL areas is now a generational lift.

    This is well-intentioned but California fundamentally has a supply problem and this will simply increase prices. I do understand this is capped annually to 2% of home sales, however.

    Yeah definitely, knew this would be a prop 13 story before even opening the article.

    Damning report on International Legion from NYT. Turns out James Vasquez was a fraud.

    Not sure why they frame this as a D+R thing, NIMBYism transcends ideology - see CA, NYC, etc. Good to state leges getting involved.

    Super Sunday, third Sunday of March, is the biggest masking day for Mardi Gras Indians.

    Guessing the suicide video?

    It’s a totally different economic entity in my view.

    Second one this year. Bay Area trees mad af.

    If you have a group, Galatoire’s Friday lunch is the way to go. You’ll need to hire a line-sitter and be ready for a long day of day-drinking, but the experience is worth it.

    I’ve several times over the past few months - not full meals, just snacking with drinks - and I wouldn’t say it sucks but Nina Compton’s focus is definitely on her new projects. Menu is static, service indifferent, etc. Same with LPG for that matter, though I had a great meal at the bar there over MGW.
