They like colorful real estate out by the ocean in San Francisco’s Parkside District.
Which is your favourite flavour - grape, mint, lime, or peach?

Oh oh, there’s a new “neighborhood call to action” in San Francisco.
“Sometimes it’s possible for really significant changes to slip past normal public planning channels almost unnoticed.”
Now this man certainly doesn’t look too happy about a LightSpeed utility box installed in his nabe, but San Francisco’s new boxes should be shorter than this. People, teh Sunset district with a few more metal boxes here and there is still going to be the Sunset, avec all its pluses and minuses. This LightSpeed program won’t be a “significant change” to anything. You NIMBYs are getting out of hand.
Look what DPT has to go through with DPW to make deadly Masonic Avenue a little safer a with a single (one) controller cabinet. The notice pictured below was posted on umptyump telephone poles recently.

Countdown signals now! And LightSpeed, meh, whatever, doesn’t matter.
Google Maps just added real estate listings as an optional search. This comes on the heels of the very useful Google Transit. It seems our Friends at the Googleplex seem to think we want more everything:
Google Maps is evolving from a driving directions and business search tool, to a comprehensive representation of all the world’s information, on a map.” That’s why Google Maps started to integrate different layers of information when you search for an address and it added a new “More” button to enable layers for photos and Wikipedia articles.
Don’t count on this new service to show you a complete picture of the Bay Area real estate scene (there’s no listing shown for Red Rock Island for example), but it’s a great start. You can even refine your search by number of bathroooms, etc. Get started by simply clicking on “Show search options.”
Pretty soon, we won’t need real estate agents or brokers for anything, right?
Welcome to the future!
This is your chance to own beautiful Red Rock Island, now listed for just $22 million by Santa Rosa’s Steven Higbee. Imagine owning your own private Alcatraz! Per the shill:
…the ONLY privately held island in the San Francisco Bay….out of the fog belt just south of the San Rafael/ Richmond Bridge…six acres, 175 feet high…views spectacular…just eight miles to Fisherman’s Wharf…
If you lived here, you’d be home by now
You want. Make an offer why not? You’d only have to sell 38,000 shares at current valuations. Then you’d be a part of history and NPR would want to put you on the FM radio too.
What’s in it for you? Well, you could try to develop it. Might be a bit of a hassle dealing with three different counties but think of all the manganese you’d be able to sell after you’re done leveling the island with dynamite or something. You’d make big bucks.
Plus, they’ll probably even throw in the island’s home page to sweeten the deal. The website has all the photos you’d want of your new home.
Perché no?
