Cash App founder stabbed to death in San Francisco
I work a few blocks away and walked by the murder scene this afternoon. It’s around the corner from Red’s Java House, under the Bay Bridge. There’s typical fidi sketchiness there (two screaming schizos in the street at 2 pm) but it’s certainly not Hunters Point or Vis Valley. That area is dead at night and totally agree if he were out at some nearby late night bar (are there any?) we should know by now where he was. Rough crowds will come over from the east bay and run side shows on Embarcadero sometimes so they can bolt when SFPD shows up - maybe he got mugged and fought back?

JFC, I didn’t even know that was possible, I thought everything there was an SRO for people to shoot up in.

Cash App founder stabbed to death in San Francisco
Unless you are in a few areas (which I agree have absolutely gone downhill) views like that are your daily life and why you pay to be here, and frankly if you commute in from Marin to the Financial District for work you’re not in a position to comment on the quality of life in the other 48 square miles of the city. I’ll be the first to comment on the city’s dysfunction, but I’d push back on the notion that this homicide is reflective of anything and is mainly notable because of what an aberration it is. Shit like this happens in Oakland all the time.

I wouldn’t call it a nice part of town and there is absolutely the usual sketchy S.F. shit going on at night, but a homicide is extremely unusual. SF’s violent crime feels very much like Austin’s. 🙄

Lending tree: top ten places millennials are buying
Kind of a weird article. I don’t think it has to do with popularity but the dynamics of expensive areas. Gen Zers can’t afford coastal metro areas yet and boomers/older Gen-Xers are paying cash if they buy at all, so it makes sense millennials would be the largest buying group by far in those areas.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
Conceptually, a demand-fixing scheme allowing $300k households to get into bidding wars is the opposite of what California needs and is quite an irritating development in the midst of the housing element battle. I wouldn’t be particularly worried about your concerns - if anything, this could have Prop 13-like effects and encourage people to stay in their homes until they die. Sure, homeownership is ideal (I aspire to it!) but affordability in HCOL areas is now a generational lift.

This is well-intentioned but California fundamentally has a supply problem and this will simply increase prices. I do understand this is capped annually to 2% of home sales, however.

Yeah definitely, knew this would be a prop 13 story before even opening the article.

Damning report on International Legion from NYT. Turns out James Vasquez was a fraud.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Not sure why they frame this as a D+R thing, NIMBYism transcends ideology - see CA, NYC, etc. Good to state leges getting involved.

Lunch Lady bangs one of her students
- If a tree falls in Cupertino, will anyone hear you scream?
Second one this year. Bay Area trees mad af.- New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
If you have a group, Galatoire’s Friday lunch is the way to go. You’ll need to hire a line-sitter and be ready for a long day of day-drinking, but the experience is worth it.- New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
I’ve several times over the past few months - not full meals, just snacking with drinks - and I wouldn’t say it sucks but Nina Compton’s focus is definitely on her new projects. Menu is static, service indifferent, etc. Same with LPG for that matter, though I had a great meal at the bar there over MGW.- Could You Move to a Small Town
Yeah I think towns that are small by virtue of wealthy residents obstructing development are not quite the spirit of things.- All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
I think he was referring to Prop 13’s 2% cap on assessment increases and applicability to all real estate, so similar and equally stupid.- All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
And even more incredibly, until Prop 19 you could inherit that tax rate. These shots are always wild:- New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
Well, they’re not Mother’s bad, but they’ve slipped since becoming such a huge operation. You would have a good po boy. Zara’s is a little neighborhood market (you can buy boiled crawfish at the register - don’t). If you are going that far uptown when you get in, Domilise’s and Guy’s are the way to go (both for shrimp). Edit: but if you do go to Zara’s, take your sandwiches to Kingpin. Fuck it, go there regardless. That is a true NO neighborhood bar.- New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
Sorry, finalist. But they seem intent on an award, sucks because their a La carte menu for the bar/patio was great. Zara’s is a solid neighborhood spot if you’re close by. My hot take is Parkway has gone the way of Mother’s. - If a tree falls in Cupertino, will anyone hear you scream?
