Housing, retail development in San Francisco's Mid-Mission district


San Francisco Chronicle/J.K. Dineen, 7/17/14.  "How San Francisco's Mid-Mission district is transforming."

"Home sweet home" in "green" SF.
Good model for "frog invested" Pacifica? 
"While the tech-fueled renaissance of central Market Street has generated headlines around the world, a block away the parallel stretch of Mission Street is undergoing its own, much quieter transformation.

Over the past five years, 1,400 new housing units have opened on Mission Street between Fifth Street and South Van Ness Avenue, including 800 studio apartments that landlord Angelo Sangiacomo built between Seventh and Eighth streets. And there are a lot more coming.

.... We are hoping that part of Mission Street establishes its own identity, on a smaller scale than Market Street," Kennedy said. "Having a few thousand new residents should help generate fine-grain retail."   Read article.

    I always found it curious that earth people, hippies, "progressives" here who supposedly care so much for the downtrodden, poor, minorities, refuse to allow growth which would help their unfortunate brothers and sisters. They got theirs and damn the others even though population is way up everywhere, those people can live somewhere else.

    Manor is very cosmopolitan. Quite a few techies have moved in. Compared to sf rents it's a bargain.

    Over on Riptide.com. a story was posted this morning that the Linda Mar Dollar Store had closed.

    We must be a pretty tough crowd here when even a Dollar Store can't make it around here/

    Prices were simply too high for this town. Nickel and dime and not a penny more!

    Maybe Pacifica needs some penny slot machines.

    Have you been in that dollar store? Pretty lame. And prices weren't a dollar. I looked at some ball caps that they wanted 7 or 8 bucks for. And then the back of the store was "antiques" and "vintage" stuff. They wanted $30 for some bad Hawaiian shirts, $70 for jackets. Bad business plan.

    The Dollar Store in Fairmont does a booming business. The one in Linda Mar (not a chain) was a joke.

    1:24 hook them on the Penny Slots then put in Dime and quarter slots.

    Reno & Las Vegas seem to pay the bills off slot money.
