U.S. house prices are rising exponentially faster than income

In that case, it's even weirder -- for further context, Mint Plaza is at 5th and (more or less) Market, and there is a huge difference between 6th Street and 5th Street.

Ah, SF, sometimes I even miss it. :-)

Yes! The sharpest neighborhood difference I've ever seen is between 5th and Howard (Intercontinental Hotel, Pivotal, tech offices) vs 6th and Howard (reallllly sketchy area). (Howard is one block south of Mint and two blocks south of Market St.)

I used to work at 5th and Howard back when Tempest was an anarcho-syndicalist bike-messenger journalists' coke den.

We never exited towards 6th even then.

I did too! We went for lunch weekly :) Tempest has great food out of the Box kitchen, and they seat you inside at lunch during the week.

Yeah the project was to have been on Stevenson between 5th and 6th. At the closest point this lot is less than 100 meters from Mint Plaza.
