I see someone did the math in the comments to show that its the rent increase, and not the minimum wage increase for workers that is the main issue

Wow you read SFGate comments?

I mean good on you if you found a nugget of wisdom in there, but jeez just glancing at them usually turns my stomach.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Friday, 4 September 2015 17:48 (eight years ago) link
wasn't aware that anyone suggested it was the min wage increase (which is not mentioned in the story)
sfgate comments are a cesspool, just like every other comments box

yeah at first it was a cool thing to do with my family, now it's sort of oppressive - like you have to get there super-early, pick you're one spot/stage, and then never attempt to move until show is over

Yeah I've been here since May and settling in as I do. Which amusingly enough has also meant regular writing published at both the Chronicle and the Weekly!

That's awesome. And I would def try to make it to a welcome fap if such a thing occurs
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 17 September 2015 19:26 (eight years ago) link
Well we kinda did aim for one in May but that was haphazard. Maybe we should just do a general Zeitgeist thing for the hell of it.

Ended up going there thanks to former ILXor Simon Stuart being in town on a trip and wanting to see what was up. And indeed, he saw.

I don't do the Folsom St Fair, altho I did go many eons ago
Jello sounds like kind of a creep, based on the stories I hear at Rainbow anyway

Just went by that park where Cesar Chavez hits the 101 and a bunch of nuns were cutting hair for homeless people behind the backstop. One of them was holding a mirror up for a dude in a chair and he was touching his hair looking at it.

where's a good place to live if you need to get Caltrain? got a friend thinking of moving to the city around SOMA/Dogpatch/ Potrero Hill but for me SOMA is the only place I've felt properly nervous walking around alone. Maybe somewhere nearer 24th St Bart?
― kinder, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 14:53 (eight years ago) link
caltrain isn't anywhere near 24th and BART
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 15:52 (eight years ago) link
Potrero Hill is probably best bet
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 15:53 (eight years ago) link
The T and N-lines can pretty brutally slow above ground, but anywhere on those lines is a straight shot to the station. That's good for Dogpatch and maybe Duboce/Upper Haight. Anything farther west is probably too far and farther south is probably still a little too unpleasant.
Agree that Potrero is a pretty good bet although it's not exactly super direct unless you are close to the 10.
Basically SOMA is only part of city if you want to walk to Caltrain. It's pretty safe as far as I know.
If you bike to CalTrain you can basically draw a circle around an 3 inches around CalTrain on a muni map and you'll be fine.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 6 October 2015 16:31 (eight years ago) link
Isn't there a 22nd St Caltrain station? I meant around 24th & Bryant area ish but that's still a good half-hour walk to 22nd st station.Biking would be my recommendation, yeah
― kinder, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 20:57 (eight years ago) link
Is your friend independently wealthy
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 21:01 (eight years ago) link
there is a 22nd Street stop. There is a freeway, giant hospital complex, and hill (Potrero Hill to be specific) between 24th/Bryant and the Caltrain station though. It is not convenient to get to from that side of the freeway.

why doesn't your friend just get an apartment in Belmont or Daly City?
― sarahell, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 21:05 (eight years ago) link
thanks outic, I haven't been round that bit of town so wondered if that might be the case.she wants to live in SF (it's not really someone I know well) as OH is working near Palo Alto. I was just wondering about decent places with an OK commute to Caltrain.

Potrero/Dogpatch is good. There's the soulless world of South Beach condos, but I wouldn't recommend it. I live in Mission Terrace, which is good for a car commute to Palo Alto. My wife does BART to CalTrain, which isn't TOO bad. Mission Terrace/Excelsior are also not quite as bad as the rest of SF, pricing-wise (I mean, still ridiculous, but not as bad).
― schwantz, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 21:19 (eight years ago) link
agree that South Beach is really weird, as a neighborhood
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 21:20 (eight years ago) link
honestly if someone (not saying your friend is) spending most of their waking hours commuting or at work on the peninsula, then does it really matter whether they live in SF proper or in a weird soulless South Beach condo
― sarahell, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 21:26 (eight years ago) link
It does for me. Although at this point (kids, etc.) the peninsula is looking more appealing than it used to.
