Not surprised the nice video is by Steelblue. They do some great work here in the Bay Area. My favorite of their vids:

I've been to NYC in the summer, and it's miserable. Miserable in winter, as well. That's not where I'm planning to move Hint: I'm a scientist and software developer.

Not surprised. I'll stack it on top of my long list of midtown disappointments.

I've lived in Midtown a long time, and it's finally starting to realize some of it's potential. I think, "Maybe I won't relocate after all, I can get the experience I want here." Then I remember that it's 100 degrees from June to September, and walking in even the best, most pedestrian friendly neighborhood is awful.

I was joking about LinkedIn peeking at my HAIF posts I figured it was the common connection. It was just amusing to me as I saw it immediately after checking this thread.

Tory just showed up in my LinkedIn "People You May Know." I guess LinkedIn has been following me on HAIF.

So, long discussion here. I'll just add that I've been thinking about San Francisco alot lately, and also visiting. Most residential buildings in SF don't have ground floor retail. Yet, it has the highest rents and is considered one of the best urban environments in the country.

Sorry to comment on an old thread. I've had a "tin shack" near Baldwin Park for five years. The only issue with crime is people stealing my UPS/Fedex packages, and people going through my garbage looking for cans. I don't know about appreciation, but inventory is tight and prices are up significantly from when I bought. If you get a townhouse, I'd recommend a block of 3 or fewer units, not one of the 6+ unit blocks. I've replaced my AC, and might update my appliances, but those are normal aspects of owning a home, not anything particular to a townhouse. Fortunately, metal roofs tend to be durable, and also no need to repaint the metal siding. Transportation connections are excellent. Easy to walk, bike, or get on the freeway. Exceptionally quick to Montrose, Downtown, TMC, East End, etc.

I've been looking at apartments in San Francisco, and outside of the inner-most part (Downtown/Financial/SOMA), most apartment buildings are 4 stories. So, 4 stories isn't that bad -- as long as the units per acre isn't awful.

Well, makes me sad to quote a six year old post. But a modern 8 story 400 unit mixed use (probably) building is nicer than another boutique hotel. I'd rather see residential than hotel. Get another thousand units in the area and we might start to see a critical mass, like in Post Midtown.

Close the street, make it a pedestrian plaza between two buildings with retail and restaurants/patios on both sides. Easy choice. If the rest of the sides have no retail, whatever. One fourth of the perimeter on the right side is more than enough.
