Also they have better access to killer weed. And burritos.

yeah, you better stop that gentrification before it's too late- if they're not careful there won't be any affordable properties in San Francisco.

people in videos of san francisco always seem so chill and act like nothing bothers them but anyone who has ever been knows it's one of the most hostile cities. everyone drives like an rear end in a top hat and everyone who walks wants to push you into the street. the only nice people are homeless and there is probably something to that. that being said, toast is crunchy and warm

You aren't going to be driven out of the city by the high cost of toast. The inexplicable existence of high priced gourmet toast doesn't make all the more reasonable toast options disappear.

San Fransisco/LA seems like the kind of place you can go with an outright malicious idea to gently caress with people, like charging ten dollars for handcrafted mineral water or putting up public toilets that cost a dollar per use, and it would still sell

At least it looks like you get fancy butters and poo poo. Still dumb though.

Is this another thread where gbs is mad that not everyone is a poor? Like, $4 for a slice of toast seems kinda silly but so is $2 for a bowl of grits, that poo poo is basically animal feed.

I can't for the life of me figure how a single slice of toast costs $4. Even the highest quality ingredients can't all add up to $3 a serving. There is a good chunk of profit there. For that guy in the video to sit and say he doesn't make a profit is like Apple saying they sell iPhones at cost. regardless, it's very courageous.

I moved to San Francisco in early 2007 and found a room in the Mission for like 600 bucks. I had a job lined up already (which was being phone support for phone sex operators and phone psychics, which I could write a whole thread on) and the guy who created the Mill, Josie Baker (his real last name!) was good friends and a prior tenant at my place, which was with 5 other people who were all great - dog walkers, artists, etc. Obviously this was before everyone not in tech got gradually priced out. Josie was one of the nicest dudes I ever met, and he busted his rear end to create that place. He just fell in love with bread and would use generously-shared ovens when places weren't using them and would bake bread at like 2am to 5am and just sell loaves personally to people, and just worked up from there. When a dude you like succeeds in something he's passionate about, it's a Good Thing. I went there when I still lived there and bought a toast. It's good. 4 dollar toast itself isn't the problem - it's far more complicated than that - but it could be regarded as a symbol for what cost expectations continually are building in SF - ie no poors allowed.

It literally cost a restaurant 5 cents per piece of bread and a half a penny in energy to toast it. Oh and I guess another 5 cents for the slice of butter. Profit margins be like

He bought that drat bread at a bakery. If I was running the bakery I'd buy a bunch of toasters and gently caress his business model right up.
