Comments on: Neighborhood Film http://www.potrerohillsf.com/2007/03/neighborhood-film/ A neighborhood guide for Potrero Hill, San Francisco Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:20:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.1 by: Jack http://www.potrerohillsf.com/2007/03/neighborhood-film/#comment-14358 Mon, 30 Apr 2007 21:33:42 +0000 http://www.potrerohillsf.com/2007/03/neighborhood-film/#comment-14358 I would imagine the film overlooked this local activity (18th & DeHaro): "'Police! Open the door!' There the john was, with his pants around his knees in the backseat of his car, an 18-year-old hooker from Oakland providing a sexual service for him, when he heard the words that no one wants to hear. It's Officer Wesley Villaruel, and he's shining a flashlight on the sordid little scene at 18th and DeHaro." THE BADGE Prostitution isn’t as big as it used to be in the Mission.

I think that's a good thing, right? And of course it's an advertisement, what else is new? WE, of course, will keep it from becoming a mall; go, Hippies!

The video felt gross and made me think I might actually live in a carefully lit mall. If our neighborhood actually becomes as pablum-swabbed as this video portrays, then we'll have lost the goodness that is San Francisco. Keep it real, folks. Hippies live here, thank freakin' god. Blech. The video felt gross and made me think I might actually live in a carefully lit mall.

A little phoooonnnnnyyyy, too - their references to Chron news articles are to their own paid advertisements! And, hope all this development doesn't push Anchor Steam out of the neighborhood. Welcome to those who will live there - they've got a great location. And, while Whole Foods will be good - Good Life is better.

Not exactly representative of the diversity we have, or am I just out of touch in my own neighborhood?
