I never thought I would ever say that, but the City lost it’s heart long ago when the yuppies started taking over. Now it’s just a rich persons theme park. It’s not the San Francisco I lived in, and I wouldn’t want to live in what it is NOW!

As far as I’m concerned, both of y’all are gentrifying the Mission.

Soon we will on me on some type of state or Federal “credit” at this rate…then what?

then you could property omit number 5. from the list or your perception of what it means to be on welfare.

how many dollar stores do we need really?

Most of that stuff is low quality junk not even worth a dollar, made in china and putting more trash that the land fields dont need!

Well, yay for you and your idol, Birnbaum. Where does that leave the rest of us who live in the real world?

The Camera Shop that sold and developed b + w film? yeah, some freakin’ foo foo shop selling twee there now. That’s an example.

Why was and is Valencia St. and Mission so decrepit?

BART building and downtown redevelopment.

Christ on a cracker. Look it up.

Right, every creative worker and everyone who works in cafes is being idle, instead of paying their own rent with self employment, and paying more taxes for their security-free big artist income than people with “regular jobs” do.

If I was born here, would it be OK if I hang out on the stoop with a beer all morning? Can someone point me to the permission committee that decides who can live here, and what they can do, so they can distribute licenses to the deserving?

Looky, KKKatie’s out of jail and here to educate all us ignorant saps with her special blend of radical racism! I guess one kind of bigotry is as good as another to you performance artists, right?
