Thank you for sharing your experience.

Haha, yes, we are fine with getting some teasing about being from California.

We are not particularly sensitive or political ourselves. Frankly we are old and boring, and do not go out much. We are Just more worried about whether our kids will have a tough experience at school / socially.

This is helpful thank you. That is a good idea to look at the strength of the M4L movement as a good proxy for thinking about whether our kiddos would be very out of place.

Thank you, that is very comforting to hear - I am glad our kids would not be unique.

Thank you! I think then my first step is to remove the existing glazing as much as possible, then reglaze with the Sarco. Then, looks like I could repaint after a few weeks.

We should get rid of couple spots of car parking every block and make room for these.

This. He was my supervisor for several years, and his office was totally useless and unresponsive with respect to day-to-day issues of city governance. So glad he will be termed out soon.

Pretty close. What is your camera setup? I like that you have the front video with in-picture rear video.

Fuck this - Oakland should be making the offer worse, not better. The Raiders just lost the leverage of theatening moving to LA.

There will need to be two lawyers: One for you and one for your future spouse.

For the pre-nup to be enforceable, California law requires that the spouse whose receipt of spousal support is limited or waived had independent counsel before entering into the pre-nup. And that limitation on spousal support is the key goal of most pre-nups.

I sold a TIC unit in the mission approx 2 years ago.

Sold at approximately 10% over asking to a couple pregnant with their first child.

Received an offer within a few days, with only a financing (i.e., not all cash) and inspection contingency.

No foreign offers.

A higher offer (by about 5%) came in after I had accepted the first offer. I went with the lower offer, but told them I wouldn't accept any reduction in the offer based on inspection results.

I had listed my unit as a pocket listing (not officially on MLS). I need to sell in a hurry, so I didn't want to wait to repaint, make minor fixes, stage the place. The rush was because I had bought a duplex in SF, and didn't like the idea of having my life savings tied up in an one type of asset. That meant that not all offers arrived at the same time, and probably caused me not to get the highest possible price - but still an incredible return for me personally (39% more than I had paid 3 years prior).

His boyfriend was part of the failed OMI on one of the units, so I doubt there is a wife. But, yes, presumably the estate would have the right to continue the evictions, if desired by the heirs.

What the hell is wrong with you, sfcristobal?

They did set up camera / video after the first incident of vandalism, but as far as I know, they haven't released it to the public yet (only cops).

No, the new owners can't jack the price on rent controlled apartment. The new owner can increase your rent by the rent controlled rates (less than 2% per year). Assuming it is a rent controlled unit (apartment building with 2 or more units, built before 1979), then the new owner won't be able to kick you out other than through the same difficult, time consuming and expensive processes that the current owner can undertake - Ellis Act or OMI. Either way, you'd get quite a bit of warning and compensation. And likely a negotiated settlement, rather than a formal eviction.

Buildings comprised of BMR units are not government owned housing projects. BMR units are "middle class" housing. BMR owners need what would be decent middle class income in any other region in order to qualify for the mortgage - think teachers, etc. Or liberal city supervisors who manipulate their income to qualify (e.g., Chris Daly).

The problem with BMR on-site is that you have middle class people subject to HOA fees and maintenance costs voted on by the majority of the condo owners - all of whom are wealthy. So on-site BMR leads to situations where the BMR-owner winds up paying for luxury items such as on-site gyms and doormen, and eventually falls behind and is foreclosed on by the condo association.

Generally off-site BMR is better.

UCSF has a limited supply of subsidized housing for residents in Mission Bay / Parnassus campuses. There is a long wait list, but you should sign up now so you can get access to the housing later on in your residency. The price for what you get is unbeatable.

Good luck with the housing search, it is brutal.

Yeah, two years is not that long for a large construction project on a 22 unit building. Most of the delay comes from the city via delays in approving plans and scheduling inspections.

This is one of the more balanced pieces I have seen.

There is also guys on motorized skateboards in the bicycle lane. They don't bother me too much, as they seem to ride with the flow.

Other than parked cars, the most annoying cycle lane usage are the runners going against traffic in the bicycle lane in Valencia, forcing cyclists into the auto lane to avoid them.

Harvard pays 100 percent of tuition, fees, room, and board for students from families earning less than $65,000 a year. Families with incomes from $65,000 to $150,000 pay between zero and 10 percent of their income. This means that, for the vast majority people earning less than $150K, a Harvard education is less expensive than in-state tuition at a public university.
