"We can't wait half a century to populate downtown. But it makes little sense to reserve it purely for offices. Jacobs, an influential author who changed the thinking around urban redevelopment, loved lively streets with a mix of uses. If we want #SanFrancisco's downtown streets to show more signs of life, we ought to listen to her."

I would love to read an ethnographic history of the neighborhoods right around the 16th Street, 24th Street, and Civic Center BART stations, especially of the last ten years, or get my hands on a photo book covering that same period.

Footage of #Philadelphia’s “tranq” epidemic. Similar video from #SanFrancisco was going around the other week too.

#America is not well, y’all.

While we fight #MAGA nuts in rural & suburban America, our own “better than you” blue cities neglect our own people. Homelessness, addictions, wealth inequality, NIMBYism, & systemic racism still run rampant.

Expect more, demand better. Complacency is conservatism.

Since we’ve been talking about #SanFrancisco’s retail woes, it’s worth noting that the retail experience at big chain shops has significantly declined, thanks to undercompensated understaffing, replacement of staff with awkward and laborious “self” checkout, ruthless cost-cutting of material quality while raising prices, and the depressive effect of looming stock buybacks followed by bankruptcy over everyone involved. No wonder people have flocked to boutiques, local shops, and online shopping

I think some of these assessments about the relative strength and power of the #SanFrancisco #BayArea in the global economy stage may be surprising to some, because in many ways this area does not seem like a global powerhouse metro like London or Paris or New York. The recent mainstream media narrative doesn’t help either. Nevertheless, the decisions we make here about our metro economy do matter tremendously in the global economic system, and we should act with that in mind!

This forum thread with rankings of metro CSAs and MSAs by GDP and GDP growth is like catnip to me. Interesting takeaway is the enormous GDP and GDP per capita of the #SanFrancisco Bay Area, when compared to similar economic statistical units

@John@masto.host @danhon@mastohon.com I honestly think that Musk's ultimate plan is to drive his #SanFrancisco building rent down, if he can... and then immediately bounce #Twitter Headquarters over to Miami once the lease it up.

Musk does not like to be challenged and I think that his attacks on San Francisco are intended to lay the groundwork for that, in part.

Today in Labor History May 26, 1851: Stevedores and longshoreman struck in San Francisco. This was the first documented longshore strike in California. They were demanding six dollars per day, which was a lot in those days. However, the gold rush caused massive inflation and six dollars was not much in light of that. They also were fighting for a nine-hour work day and one dollar per hour overtime. In the wake of this successful strike, organizers formed the Riggers’ and Stevedores’ Association.

Developed my first roll of motion picture film.

I scrubbed it too hard so there are.. tracks on it. Motion picture film has a black layer known as remjet that you gotta remove when you develop. It’s also why you can’t send it to a normal film lab). I can’t believe I actually managed to get a pic from it. I’ll keep shooting 250D and 500T and get better at developing it.
