Residential homeowners in San Francisco have lost $260 billion in value on their homes as home sales prices there have fallen 17%, while nationwide home prices have fallen by only about 3%.
San Francisco’s housing price decline reflects the fact that the city has lost more than 65,000 residents, roughly 7.5% of its population. San Francisco’s population loss has been the largest among all major cities in recent years.
Departing San Franciscans have on average,represented households of very high income. Between 2019 and 2021, San Francisco lost nearly $15 billion of household income, even after accounting for those who moved into the city. Taxpayers who filed 2019 tax returns from San Francisco and 2021 returns from a new location reported an average annual adjusted gross income (AGI) to the IRS of nearly $196,000 per household.
they needed to come down. home prices in SF were out of control and unstainable, which also explains the huge population loss. no one could afford to live there.

OK, Nika and I have just published the latest chapter in her saga. Find it here:
Nika’s Training Ends in Fucking
We thought we'd go for a title that was subtle and understated…
Like me, you know?
kind of ruins it, you know? I mean, built-in spoiler and all that

Oo, rainbow doughnuts. I'll take one with some English Breakfast tea, please.
After a rather hot week (for this area at the end of May, at least) it is back to more seasonal temperatures now. Mid-20s instead of low 30s. Ape happy. Ape not like roasting.
I see Sprite is now spinning the tunes here. And some nice tunes they are.
Good morning and hope you're having a good weekend y'all.
all gay, all day, at KSPR, baby.

the thing is, this kind of thing happens in a lot of other states too - the violence towards women - the difference is that Californians speak up against it while others just let it continue unabated.

I don't know, I've heard a lot about this Kate person over the years and she might be a big hit if she ever put in an appearance here. Assuming Rach would even let her. 😀
True story: I was once working on a longer piece where the protagonist's daughter was named Kate and was shacked up with a woman named Rachel. I even PM'd sprite and made sure she'd be cool with it though it was entirely inadvertent or maybe unconscious. Sadly, it was going to be a longer and more elaborate story than I really had time for. There's still a diagram in my writer's notebook showing all the characters and their relationships to each other.
lol she's chatted with a few people using my account. Jen has met her. Evie has. I think Lizzy has... when i was having health issues she exchanged emails... oh, Nicola too... to keep them updated on whether or not i was still among the living. i told her i'd be okay with her having an account, but she told me was okay with me having my space here, so...
AND... finish the damn story, wouldja? it's been like what, 5 years now? lol

I’ve come out so many times it’s not funny cause I keep finding new parts of myself. A lot of labels fit me to the point where it’s actually kind of ridiculous so I use the ones that fit closest to ones people understand.
we all evolve. straight, gay, binary, non-binary, fluid... it's natural, it's normal. to me, labels don't really matter. i mean, a label doesn't change who you are. that said, some people do need them to try to understand, so yeah, just go with what makes YOU feel comfortable and let them work it out themselves. OR... try this label. the awesome label. what are you? i'm awesome. that says it all, because really, you ARE awesome

Rach, I'm straight, and always have been. I grew up steeped in the "gays are different and bad" tradition, and had the usual concerns, heard and told the usual anti-gay jokes, and was fundamentally afraid that I'd be exposed to gay men.
Then I met Marshall Goldman at university.
We were staging a production of "The Wizard of Oz". I had the title role – which caused one of my friends to say, "You're playing Dorothy??"
Marshall was doing the makeup, and as the Wizard, I went through a number of makeup changes, so we worked closely together. Marshall was also out of the closet, and a prominent member of the Gay Liberation Front at my uni. He was also incredibly funny, and just all-around fun to be with. And he liked my taste in clothes – he said I screamed.
As we worked together on the production, I relaxed and found that here was a gay man that I was glad to know, and happy to call my friend.
And that was about all it took. I never again felt threatened by gays and was much more open-minded afterwards.
Recently, my university, in their alumni magazine (sent to shake down alums for money) had an article about the GLF. I wrote in to tell them about my experience with Marshall, and to comment that the GLF had not merely been about liberating gays, but also straights, and that I was grateful to Marshall and the GLF for my own awakening.
I got a very nice reply from the editor. They published my letter, but they also told me that Marshall died several years ago. It hurt.
I stand with my gay & other friends.
everyone's situation is different. i was lucky, my family were very cool about it when i came out...
So... I'm dating Kate... like, seriously... i'm gay...
no duh. and thank god. your taste in men is horrendous.
seriously, i think that they liked her better than they did me - like FINALLY we get a daughter/sister that doesn't kind of suck

i don't hold being straight against you, ya know... thing is, and it's both funny and sad at the same time, i know gay folk who aren't out around certain friends who would be weird about it if they knew they were gay, but since they don't, it's not a thing. like that one thing would change their entire relationship when it really has nothing to do with them. like it'll rub off on them or they'll get hit on or something. they again, i know a lot of wonderful straight folk who are like, so what? that's my fav thing. So what? most people don't define themselves by their sexuality - it's a part of us, but it's not the whole of us. i like that, at work, i can just talk about my wife and no one even bats an eye. it's nice to feel normal. that said, i AM totally wearing an out and proud rainbow tee right now. lol
in other words, thank you. it really does mean a lot.
