I have a set of housing criteria which filter out some real housing gems. One of these criteria is a parking spot which this condo in the Inner Richmond does not have. It’s already in contract and I swear if…
Livin La Vida Loca
We are keeping it real, living in the Mission this week on our quest to try out different neighborhoods before we buy. We rented our apartment in Nob Hill to a nice British gentleman who is in SF for work….
San Francisco Apartment Tour
I wanted to follow-up my San Francisco Home Tour post with a similar post on apartments. Buying a home in SF is unbelievably stressful. You should be cashing in those stock options. Your granny hopefully wrote you into her will. Money…

Restaurant Review: Commonwealth
I’ve mentioned before that I’m a firm believer that Commonwealth is one of the best restaurants in the city. If not the best, I guarantee it’s the best value. So for all y’all who live in San Francisco and all y’all…
