By a Mission Mission commenter named “speculator”:
mad cause me not afford nice place
mad at make neighborhood rent more
not mad at hardworking family guy
not mad at make shitty redundant liquor stores nice places
= confuse
With ya, buddy. Read the original post and the rest of the thread if you require context.
Is that GIF Adam Savage demonstrating how he rejects your reality and substitutes his own?
Naw, it’s Scum.
mad cause friends are leaving
mad at much older than new neighbors
not mad cause my condo worth double
Crab boat employee
I think that I shall never see
A plant lovely as a tech yuppie.
A yuppie whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the locavore’s sweet flowing breast;
A yuppie that looks at Fecebook all day,
And tweets his pithy trite to the fray;
A yuppie that may in Summer wear
A lot of overpriced Jack Spade fare;
Upon whose bosom lines of coke has lain;
Who intrinsically lacks a heart and brain.
Poems are made by fools like speculator,
But God will make an earthquake later.
Lock thread, close blog. Game over. This guy wins.
skilled nerds make billy sad
Hello there, Nerd. How do you do?
Tell me, tell me, where should I move?
Now you’ve fucked things up in the neighberherd.
Where is hip? Please tell me Nerd.
I do not like this ‘hood at all.
Colonialization has come to call.
A $400 sweater, 40,000 shares of TWTR, a Magic Mouse.
Oh! What a bargain? Oh! What an overpriced house!
why should you move? if you’ve been here for more than a minute you have rent control. when you become too cool for the neighborhood you can always make the choice to leave. if you are extremely averse to change the city is probably the wrong environment for you anyways.
umm, everybody has skills, and they just might be more interesting and valuable than yours.
Novel idea: MOVE SOMEPLACE MORE AFFORDABLE! You are responsible for your own quality of being.
I got lost trying to find the Dumbarton Bridge. I saw a lot of nice houses in Newark. Folks should move over there.
sf is attractive to those who refuse to grow up. it’s somewhat cute until they get about 35, then it becomes a helpless bitterness and emptiness.
Novel idea: Long-time SF residents should charter a fleet of ZuckTrucks to dump these carpetbagging culture destroying clowns in Reno.
SF natives should dump the ‘long-time SF residents’ and their feelings of entitlement into the bay.
What an orginal comment. Thanks
Novel idea: KEEP THIS PLACE MORE AFFORDABLE! We are all responsible for the quality of where we live.
Yes, “KEEP THIS PLACE MORE AFFORDABLE”. What a great tactical thing to do. I’d vote for you.
I appreciate the sentiment, but I’m a firm absolute monarchist.
You’ll all be happier in a year or so when all the new condos are finally built, and the professionals you loathe so passionately can comfortably negotiate a fancy new place in the neighborhoods you now scoff at, instead of having to frantically claw each other’s eyes out week after week desperately trying to land your now-overpriced old studio, which is one of approximately three units available to the 4,000,000 people looking for a place in the city right now.
I know you’ll all tell me to go fuck myself for saying so, and that’s cool. ‘Cuz it’s still true. Relax. Have a beer.
So many layer upon layer of snark and sarcasm here I can’t get the meaning of you comment
I predict things will get worse for anyone not rich. Condos for millionaires will not ease pressure on rents. And do you think these people are going to give up their cars? Just what we need, more cars. The traffic from the condos and Whole Foods at Market and Dolores will produce (no pun intended) a traffic nightmare. Just multiply that by what, 9? new architectural atrocities along Market Street.
Rich people want to live in SF. If they can do so in luxury housing, they’ll live there. Right now, there isn’t enough of it to handle the demand. Which is why some of them are bidding on your place instead. That may well seem insane to you, but anyone in the real estate market knows how desperate prospective buyers in SF are right now, and the richest desperate buyers usually win out.
You don’t have to like rich people. Just know that the more of them you placate with a shiny new tower or two, the fewer of them will be fighting over your next place.
The rich who want to live in the sf are already here. They’re not having any problem finding places to live. We’re not talking rich people here. Though I guess they’d be rich to YOU.
so they’ll be building 4,000,000 condos for all those people? that’s great news!
I live in a car in HP.
I miss the nerd scene in Cole Valley
When Craig Newmark was everyone’s pally.
Geeks and punks used to work together
And the Mission’s fame was its good weather
Dime bags were bought in Dolores Park
Then along came a guy named Mark
He spent his salad years cornering the social market
Emerged with billions and nowhere to park it
San Fran was a city flocked to by youth
Who all seemed to possess a certain inner truth
The kind of truth that money can’t buy
Deep down the Marks know that but still they try
They buy up the Mission for its youthful magic
But like Michael Jackson’s their quest is tragic
Landlords win and landlords only
Because even in the Mission the Marks are still lonely
‘Neighborhoods change man,’ so I’m told
As San Francisco gets bought and sold
A working class town like no other
Has just been played like a Winkelvoss Brother
The best things in Frisco were always free
But that took a certain kind of person to see
No longer do they come to San Francisco
Because who wants to live in a billionaire’s disco?
The muses are gone now and why is no mystery
At least San Francisco still has its history
Can we complain about the Google buses again, please?
So, just so I know I’m getting this: the previous gentrifiers are mad at the new ones?
We’re fuckin pissed. We thought we could just squat in our rent controlled apartments forever.
Good thing the previous Central American residents didn’t have a blog to complain about all the white people who moved in after 1995.
