who needs strip clubs when we have a prostitute's union and escort service rivaled only by Germany?

Plus go to Broadway, its all strip clubs


also every street has a message parlor

even in the boring small suburbs like Redwood City the crime report always has at least one story of asian massage parlor offering more than just massages.

it mainly because places like dallas had both the will and also geography to expand the housing supply as required.

Also helps that Texas doesn't have the mystical promised land aura like California

gently caress affordable housing mang, i want to live near some cool bars and gently caress slutty chicks while playing skeeball that i rented. go live in detroit, stockton, modesto or fresno if you're poor.

This is a good model, a smart dev just paid the city to not put in affordable housing and using HOA fees to make sure they dont stink up the place.

Also we just need to pass a some poo poo to keep beggers from blocking the streets, a good no-liedown and sidewalk/doorway obstruction and panhandling rule ought to work. and then bus them out to detroit or throw em in prison for 10 years

quote:

A worker walks in the construction zone at 181 Fremont St., a 52-story building that will house condominiums and businesses near San Francisco’s new Transbay Transit Center.

The developer of a 52-story Transbay district high-rise has cut a deal with the city to pay $13.85 million to avoid including 11 below-market-rate condominiums in what will become the highest condo tower west of the Mississippi River.
The payment, $1.26 million per unit, shows how much luxury builders in San Francisco are willing to shell out to circumvent housing laws with affordable-housing requirements — 15 percent in the case of the neighborhood around the Transbay Transit Center. Legislation is required to make the deal happen.

HOA fees
While the city controls the prices of below-market-rate units — typically setting the purchase price at 33 to 35 percent of family income — state real estate laws require all homeowners to be assessed full homeowners’ fees whether they paid full price for their condo or bought it through a city BMR program. In the case of 181 Fremont St., the homeowner association dues, which residents pay to cover building maintenance, security, operations and common spaces — will start at $2,000 a month.

it'll be good because all the office buildings and the new rich housing will be perfectly fine, but all the old poor rent-controlled unreinforced masonry is gunna beak which will further reduce the poor concentration.

Then sit back and bathe in the hot, sticky, exploded brains.

that's actually the opposite, most locals dont really care and it was more an old person thing anyways; but all the transplants desperately want to fit in and they once heard FRISCO is bad and so you must froth at the mouth because thats locals are supposed to do and i want to be a local!
