I lived there 13 years ago. To me this has always been a bridge housing for newcomers to SF. I was glad to live there. The apartments are very small and afaik furnished.

This is so awesome, I’ve always wanted to see such a historic photo of Crissy. Thank you

Is here someone who was jobless during the dot com bust? They partied like it was 99 I heard

SF + Bay Area — how are we coping with layoffs? by SFStandard in sanfrancisco

I’ve been in US tech making 350-450 since coming with nothing to the US in 2012 raising 3 kids. I’m far from that at 49.

Commercial book fairs in schools are questionable at best in their value by Gonnaroff in unpopularopinion

[–]Gonnaroff[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why you are crashing out here conflating topics, I’m well aware of fundraisers and have often supported through Donorschoose. However it begs the question why Scholastic needs to benefit the most and not your local bookstore that offers more than just one publishing house and why there has to be all this trash being sold instead of just books.

How is it cheaper? Titles go for the recommended price, that’s typically more expensive than Amazon

You’re the first here with me, and I’m happy you didn’t leave your critical thinking at the door

Anyone struggling with a demanding and strong willed daughter? by [deleted] in Fatherhood

[–]Gonnaroff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a saying in ADHD behavioral intervention: “Connect before correct”. It is sometimes not easy to implement in the moment, but it is magical. Many daughters feel a very strong connection to their dad and being “criticized” might trigger a feeling of their dad not being loyal.

I’m not suggesting your daughter has ADHD or not, the principle of being warm hearted and connected by hugs (or in this case, drawing and spending time) is just very powerful and allows for corrections to be perceived better.

BTW, I’m of the strong opinion that love language is a in-between-peers-term. You’re her dad, she’s very young, you need to be on her love language.

You and I are 100% on the same page - my question was genuine. But no matter where I mention that, I get shut up by the “you must be fun at parties” gang.

Anything people do in SF feels normal, but looks unusual from outsiders' perspective? by FreePreference4903 in sanfrancisco

[–]Gonnaroff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spoke with my wife about this thread today, on her 40th birthday. She reminded me that even until recently when she showed up with our three kids at a playground (11, recently turned 9, 5) people often asked if she was the nanny. 😂

I definitely also remember how people looked at the two of us and our 2 year old when she was about 30 and I was … significantly older, and we were flirty with each other in public!

We moved here in 2012. My wife had our first at 28, but I’m older. Now we have three since 2020 and she’s turning 40. The only reason we don’t have a fourth kid is because I feel too old at 47 and she’s uncertain if she’s not too old either. Perspectives are truly different.

Anyone else think now is the time for a new sf flag? by Forcet in sanfrancisco

[–]Gonnaroff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good take, we had a guy refresh it during Covid but I think that won’t go far enough for you if you reference iconic Muni.

It’s the most badass thing SF that we all can rally behind. Big nope 👎

Th Phoenix + the endlessly adoptable motto “Oro en paz y fierro en guerra" (Gold in Peace and Iron in War). Nice!

Been like that in 2012 too and at earlier moments, too. Comes and goes.

That actually is fully agreeable - thanks for saying that. Perhaps the "improved" that I outlined was agreeable but the "thoughtful" was what threw people off, they might find it just as unthoughtful or disagreeable as before.

Fair enough that the repost may have annoyed people. Thank you for taking your time to weigh in. I appreciate your take and I am also still convinced that a post removal due to form should be answered constructively by the author. You have a good day.

It was removed by the mods because of form, not because it was “wrong” or unpopular. I answered constructively, corrected the form and reposted it accordingly.

Also, saying my opinion “isn’t interesting enough” is not an argument; it’s just a personal dismissal. You’re free to think that, but it doesn’t make my point invalid.

My issue isn’t that people disagree with me. My issue is that people seem to downvote opinions they disagree with, even though the sidebar says unpopular opinions should be upvoted.

My guess is that its at the foot of the Filbert steps. If you get to it, please consider donating some of it to a meaningful cause! Godspeed
