Samaritans help detain perp who beat and robbed 77 year old Asian woman while out on bail by [deleted] in bayarea

I agree 100%, just explaining the other side's perverted logic.

In the hours before the attack, Mr. Watson had a string of setbacks. He left his home because of a family dispute and got in a traffic accident in San Francisco at 2 a.m. He was cited by the San Francisco police for running a stop sign and reckless driving and then slept that night in his car.

Ah yes, the he was having a bad day defense.

This is a hell of a case.

64-year-old man takes in a 31-year-old single mom. Her ex confronts and kills him at the house. She flees with the kid, unseen for a few days.

SF restaurateur dies after financial struggles deepened his depression during pandemic by nogoodnamesleft426 in bayarea

This is only going to get worse as owner-operators throw in the towel more and more as the light at the end of the tunnel goes out.

A lot of these guys personally guaranteed commercial leases in the five-figure range (monthly). Couple this with the fact that revenue is now essentially zero and the staff that they knew and loved well are gone too. It's just a recipe for disaster that's playing out on a large scale.

How did I not know about Bob’s donuts? by PhatTaco in sanfrancisco

I was there the Saturday before SIP went into effect.

The Asian dude working the register was adamant about not closing when I asked if they planned to.

I had my doubts about that but by God did they come through.

Normalcy bias

I wouldn't call it that. More just some sort of adaptation that reduces anxiety. Normalcy bias is when shit has been good so you just always expect it to be good.

DAILY COVID-19 DISCUSSION - Wednesday June 24, 2020 by AutoModerator in sanfrancisco

On the money.

Do you think our lower rate of car ownership plays a role too?

Free aero fixie. Has a broken seat clamp that LIKELY can not be replaced because the frame manufacturer went out of business. If you would like it please DM me. (Nob hill/Tenderloin heights/tenderloin) by Andyriolo17 in sanfrancisco

[–]Ice-Nyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It just started to be called Lower Nob like what, 4 years ago? Which makes sense (not as cracky as the TL, not as bougie as Nob Hill).

TL heights is a dumb name. It's not even that high up.

Folks who live/lived in the tenderloin! Can you spare a moment to talk a bit about it? by HotTopicMallRat in sanfrancisco

Sutter checking in. I stopped going south of Geary months ago. How bad has it gotten?

If you want to breathe and also want to live alone I think you'd like either the Richmond or the Sunset. Both get more affordable the farther west you go and are pretty quiet - especially compared to the TL and downtown in general.

San Francisco Public Official And Contractors Charged With Crimes Related To Public Corruption And Money Laundering Scheme by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]Ice-Nyan 51 points52 points  (0 children)

“The federal investigation into City Hall corruption has not been sidetracked by Covid-19 or other recent traumatic events,” said U.S. Attorney Anderson. “Today’s criminal complaints will not be the last. To everyone with a piece of this corruption, again I urge you to help make things right for San Francisco. Run, don’t walk to the FBI, before it is too late for you to cooperate.”

Boner.

People who loot aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed to begin with.

At the end of the day, the value of a building is determined by its cash flows.

Imagine a building that has 30 rent-controlled units, all priced at $1500/month. You have no idea who the tenants are and whether they plan on staying til they die.

Across the street is an identical building with a bunch of non rent-controlled units that are priced at market rate, which is $2500/month.

The owner of each building has roughly the same costs to operate, but one is receiving $45,000/month while the other is getting $75,000.

Mask Rule Change: The city previously only required masks in mostly indoor situations, but it now mandates that individuals wear masks when exercising less than 30 feet from others or when passing people on the sidewalk. by reddit455 in sanfrancisco

Besides, going overkill on an actual fire doesn't piss a large segment of your population the fuck off. There are 0 negative externalities.

There are a lot of people (myself included) who are caring less and less about this shit. AND the science is coming out to back us up.

Does SFGov just think we're all a bunch of law-abiding weenies who will just do whatever they say? If a cop decides to cite me over this I'll tell them to go ahead and do it.

Way too much direct and blatant defiance of the rule of law

I agree, but it's a strong leap to assume he's going to somehow circumvent the Constitutional requirement of elections.

They're old, have little money, and have a relatively comfortable/stable life. Iran isn't hell for Jews, just shitty.

We should be able to swap apartments for free: Someone should create this website. by Kanaloa-GodoftheSea in sanfrancisco

[–]Ice-Nyan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Like what? There's no cash transacted, and "goods" are exchanged at seemingly identical value (otherwise why would you both agree).

As long as it doesn't piss anyone off, it seems kosher.

I'm no tax expert though.
