The funny thing about this article is the way it suggests that the wholesale gentrification of San Francisco is a new trend. I could have written essentially the same piece in 1998 just substituting “lofts” for a couple of the “high rise” references. San Francisco has been a lost cause for much longer than the past couple of years.
More random stuff for a Monday night:
- Me. Camper Van Beethoven. 10 January in Chapel Hill. I’m not counting on being reunited with my crush.
- New York the following week for a workshop followed by a weekend in the city seeing some old friends and soaking up the urban. And the cold. Which is probably why the hotel rooms are all so cheap.
- The first ice of the year is a possibility tomorrow morning. My enthusiasm is minimal.
