		<description><![CDATA[Honey, where you here in 1989?  Because no one fled then and no one will flee if and when we have another big earthquake.  Unless, perhaps you are a really old geezer and you were around in 1906, and if you were, you should know that San Francisco came back bigger, richer, and more desirable than before the Great Quake.  Stop being a drama queen and wishing for natural disasters where people could get hurt or killed (and certainly it would be the poor who would be harmed the most).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dude--grow up and understand something about the neighborhood you&#039;re trying to help. Understand that your &quot;app&quot; and &quot;startup&quot; is part of a larger story about gentrification. Understand the role your start-up plays in displacing the long time residents of this building. The fire was a tragedy. The future of these residents is an even larger, unresolved, tragedy. Understand that what your app does is best characterized as enabling voyeurism, not &quot;helping&quot; anyone. In a fire, nobody in the building is going to checking their phone. They&#039;re going to get the eff out. So at best, you&#039;re enabling someone a few blocks away to come ogle at the disaster. 


Sigh... I need to get back to work.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your definition of &quot;helping&quot; is awfully generous. It would be funny if it weren&#039;t so clearly from someone with zero insight into tragedy or being in a position of truly needing help.

Tech companies, venture capitalists, and real estate investors are a sinister type of vulture, ripping the still living flesh from their victim (served up on a silver platter by End Lee, Scott Weiner, et all.) before devouring its carcass. You are just one more pathetic microcosm of that macrocosm, utterly oblivious to anything but the grand movement of which you see yourself a part, in which mankind will enter some kind of golden age thanks to &quot;creative&quot; and &quot;entrepreneurial&quot; (aka greedy and privileged) people like you bravely inventing ways to profit from other &quot;visionaries&quot; who want to sate their continual hunger for stimulation and identity-building-via-proximity-to-tragedy without having to leave their luxury lofts because, you know, the Mission is still kind of scary and anyway, I am expecting a Postmate with my Papalote burrito any minute.

Seriously, though, your idea that you or your app &quot;helped&quot; anyone in any way is genuinely nauseating.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Everyone, I wrote this release. 

I truly believe that the app my small team and I are working on has the potential to be very helpful in emergency situations and in everyday life. If I didn&#039;t believe this I wouldn&#039;t be building it. 

I apologize for the way the message came across. It was written with nothing but good intentions and excitement on my part that we may have helped a tiny bit in a bad situation.

As for the English/writing comments - you got me, I&#039;m an engineer trying to tell a story. That doesn&#039;t usually work too well...]]></description>
