Economist on SF

July 12th article in the Economist on SF’s strange boom (or non boom?). Interesting spectrum, from Boogaloos to Chicken John, of course. San Francisco’s City in a Bottle Socketsite quotes the article in its familiarity, according to local historian Starr, with Monte Carlo: “Just Quotes.” As a resident, I have noticed more pied a terre type of living situations amongst my neighbors. But in North Beach, and previously the Mission, the demographic was quite young.

    Just for the record, the article is in the July 14th-20th issue.

    “local historian” is an odd way to describe
    Professor Starr.
