@realEstateTrent There isn’t a more expensive farmers market in America!

Is there a better farmers market anywhere in America than in San Francisco at the ferry building?

@DDrolapas You’ll get dropped if you file a claim so might has well have the high deductible

What insurance option would you go with? Option A: 10k deductible. Annual premium $4923 Option B: 25k deductible. Annual premium $4368

@bilalmahmood @GrowSF Reopen the car wash!

There's progress on building housing on San Francisco's most infamous car wash! This week, the Department of Building Inspection approved a site permit for 203 units of housing on the site. This means the overall project has been approved at a high level, and now the developer can begin applying for specialized permits to demolish the car wash and set the foundation of the building. It's taken years to get here - in part due to permitting bureaucracy years way before I was elected. I even had to pass a law earlier this year to change rules around permit expiration timelines to make sure projects that have such a lengthy process can still be built without having to go to the back of the line. Now the work won't start immediately, but its a necessary first step to the transformation this neighborhood has been waiting for. We expect movement on the site before the end of the year.

@SmallBrainedUSA Taco rice?

when you think of okinawa, what comes to mind?

@StanleyRoberts @X 🔵

I keep hearing from followers who thought I stopped posting on @X If you can see this post please place a blue dot like this 🔵 as a reply. Technically I should have 40k dots appear but I expect to see maybe at best 10 dots.

@JennyChachan Hoping for a speedy recovery - love New Lun Ting’s pork chop rice with fluorescent orange gravy

today, a car plowed into a restaurant in san francisco's chinatown the city decided to give them a violation notice and assessed them a fee hours later

@JennyGShao @RetroBayArea Pretty sure that woolworths was gone by then

@RetroBayArea 1996

Guess the year this photo was taken? The most interesting thing about this photo is that at first they look like strangers, but the more you look, the more they could be part of the same hipster band. So, If they actually were a hipster band, what year would they be from?

@RetroBayArea 1984 - Woolworths RIP

@DDrolapas But is it still lower than 2019? And that’s not even accounting for inflation.

Talked to several different property owners in San Francisco's Tenderloin and it looks like $1700 is the going rate for studios there now. During peak COVID, it was around $1200. That might be the highest percentage increase for rentals in San Francisco over the past few years.

@domestic415 They have an SF Resident discount if you show ID

I was surprised that on such a warm afternoon as yesterday our ferris wheel was largely empty. Is $19 for a ride considered expensive? #sanfrancisco

@DanThorn_ @sfstandard I see him driving or biking around all the time with his duck!

You may have spotted this guy walking his pet duck or cruising with it in a purple Ferrari in San Francisco. Well, the @sfstandard is reporting Brian Currier is the man behind a police standoff in Nob Hill on Monday afternoon. Currier is accused of pointing a gun at someone.

@domestic415 Their croissants are actually pretty good and the line is a lot shorter than Ariscault or Butter and Crumble

Perception is almost always more important than reality. A croissant doesn't have to be good. People just need to believe that it's good.

@RetroBayArea SF was so much cleaner 50 years ago

A ride down Mission Street in san Francisco in 1975. This footage shows Mission Street between 22nd and 24th. It also includes scenes of the LULAC Mural, painted in 1975 by Gilberto Ramirez on the old Cogswell Polytechnical College building near 26th and Folsom, as well as a few shots driving around Precita Park.

@DDrolapas So glad that we removed our balconies a few years ago!

SB721 inspections went into effect January 1st 2026 in CA and i'm already seeing lenders mandate the inspection as a condition of closing. Most people seem to have forgot about it.

@domestic415 @ViatorTravel @Tripadvisor Call the credit card company and dispute the charge?

Never using @ViatorTravel @Tripadvisor again The actovity guide never showed up. Twelve people paid about $60 /each and there is no refund. This isn't a way to run a business.

@DDrolapas How long is the lease? Is CVS still paying their NNN obligations? That is a really weird spot for retail and doesn’t make any sense.

Damn the building that CVS vacated last year on 19th avenue in San Francisco sold for 16.8 million in 2017. Imagine buying a 23,872 square foot triple net in a core market like San Francisco for 16.8 million and it goes dark.

@friscolive415 @CitizenApp Just to follow up the victim died and the SFPD made some arrests this week. sanfranciscopolice.org/news/sfpd-make…

@atom @CitizenApp 🫡

🔫Breaking → A person was shot overnight in San Francisco at the intersection of Powell and Vandewater (btw Francisco and Bay). Adjacent to the USPS North Beach Annex, though I have no info indicating USPS involvement. SFPD originally responded to the area for a welfare check after receiving a 911 call reporting an unresponsive individual. Officers arriving on scene found a gunshot wound victim who was transported to the hospital in unknown condition. Further investigation by SFPD, with an assist from an alarm monitoring company, indicates that the shooting likely occurred at 2:17 AM.

@rohindhar When adjusted for inflation, rents are much lower than 2019 and don’t even get me started about utility, insurance, and labor costs.

San Francisco rents, while currently surging Are still below their 2019 levels We haven’t even (yet) had the great inflation in housing costs the rest of the country had

@realEstateTrent Conference room is the nicest one. If I was looking for office space, I’d want to see the rooms that I’m actually paying for, not the staircases and especially not the bathroom,

Hey, can I please have a little help with something? We’re launching the marketing for small office suites we just finished remodeling - and I want to be sure the first photos are the most attention grabbing. When you have moment, can you comment on which to lead with / not? 🙏

@DDrolapas Which neighborhood?

3br 2bath came on the market in San Francisco for $4,800. 30 plus people showed up, multiple applicants, bidding war to $5,500, lease signed. Applicants salaries per person were in the 180k-200k range which is more than that landlord nets in cashflow at that property annually.
