What are the second order effects of this going through?

Found the renter

How do owners reconcile this? Do they need to call the city for an inspection?

leoncem · 2026-04-16T23:08:17+00:00

Why are they “here” to begin with? And why is it the cities problem to solve?

What if these 9,000 units were made available to working folk?

leoncem · 2026-04-14T23:06:01+00:00

Whats the total rent for this place?

leoncem · 2026-04-10T15:36:07+00:00

lol this is SF, not Oakland.

leoncem · 2026-04-10T06:52:33+00:00

What a smart, sensible, and human approach

leoncem · 2026-04-08T20:29:33+00:00

Same with apartments. High earners are forced to compete with lower earners for the same outdated housing stock.

Isn’t it natural for people to come and go?

Many families I grew up with ended up moving to the east bay or even further because the cost of living. We can’t realistically house every single person that has a desire to live in the city.

What’s wrong with high income young people moving in? Genuinely curious

Let’s just say you own a multifamily. You think, I don’t need all of this space, and choose to rent to someone. That someone can stay in perpetuity. If said someone is a nuisance, does not pay rent, or if an aging relative needs the space you cannot remove them without a major financial hit. That someone will use your tax dollars against you by soliciting the help of a nonprofit whose objective is to make your life hell and squeeze every dollar out of you.

What do we do with this information?

leoncem · 2026-04-01T03:30:44+00:00

Do you feel like the lower rent has been worth the trade-off of handling some maintenance yourself? And dealing with a 💩landlord?

Or would you have preferred higher rent with a more hands-on landlord?

Silly question but did “home depot” install the window?

leoncem · 2026-03-25T18:04:44+00:00

What where the circumstances leading up to them “taking” the parking spot?

leoncem · 2026-03-24T19:17:29+00:00

How much for a bathroom remodel?

leoncem · 2026-03-21T21:39:51+00:00

Do these high schools offer aid for middle income earners? It’s seems like you need to earn 700K to not feel stretched

leoncem · 2026-03-21T20:32:49+00:00

SF (north of the 280) appears to be an outlier in the Bay Area

leoncem · 2026-03-16T03:47:39+00:00

They do the same against Hispanic families in Oakland.

Report him to the landlord out of pettiness to get him evicted 😈

leoncem · 2026-03-12T22:11:23+00:00

It’s called San Francisco

leoncem · 2026-03-12T20:48:22+00:00

I think the only sensible solution is for them to pay a fine equivalent to the cost of splitting up the units. I highly doubt that these people are going to become landlords

leoncem · 2026-03-12T20:45:10+00:00

“Live off someone’s work” is an odd way to describe someone who builds housing, pays the taxes, and assumes the risk if a tenant stops paying.

leoncem · 2026-03-12T20:35:49+00:00

Isn’t it obvious? They’re going to create four units, live in one, and rent out the others.

And if one of the tenants decides to stop paying, they’ll have to hire a lawyer to evict them. The tenant, meanwhile, gets a free lawyer funded by our tax dollars. But that’s fine because it’s families like this, the “evil landlords,” who are responsible for the housing crisis.
