People need to vote on the ballot and with their feet. Don’t be a hero and make a statement by renting on lower Larkin or on 5th and Mission. Do what the city administration does and avoid living in any of those areas.

If they want to turn those areas into a Mad Max hell scape, let them, and don’t work anywhere that requires you to risk it out there either. Why be a martyr?

In the end people still actively rent in the luxury apartments in the worst parts of SoMa, so the markets are clearing. Why they do it is beyond me, but to each their own.

I wanted a warehouse loft conversion. I got one. I had a ground floor entrance and my own 1 car garage that could even open into my living room.

It was cool. But I cringed every time I wrote my property tax check.

The neighborhood got worse and I got married and my wife didn’t feel comfortable there. Sold it (at a loss) and moved out of SF.
