No cheaper rent for me

San Francisco

There is a new blog post entitled, “San Francisco’s political establishment doth protest too much.”

Jill Tucker, “Mayor Breed calls for S.F. school board member to resign over racist tweets directed at Asian Americans,” San Francisco Chronicle, March 21, 2021, https://www.sfchronicle.com/education/article/Mayor-Breed-calls-for-S-F-school-board-member-to-16040970.php

It looks like I’m going to have to delay my apartment hunt. Catherine Rampell’s article is certainly bad news[1] but the real reason is a tax bill that’s more than double what I expected. I just don’t see being able to swing a move right now. It’s unfortunate: I turn 62 on April 29, making me eligible for senior housing that I was hoping would mean cheaper rent.
