theFrontSteps – San Francisco

Long time readers will remember this one… We get these kind of inquiries all the time, and it’s certainly something up for debate, as we all have our own comfort levels as to what is considered warm or “nice”. Heck, Dave Navarro of Jane’s Addiction lives in Sunny warm L.A., but by following his Twitter [...]

My dear readers, I continue to give you opportunity after opportunity and you have been great. You have been loyal, you have been kind, you have been my source of income (and food and clothing for my two shining young pains in the ass…I mean sons who I love dearly…but sometimes want to wring their [...]

How would you like to have front row seats to the America’s Cup Sailing Race that is headed to San Francisco? And I’m not talking about lawn chairs unfolded on the rocky, cold shores of the Bay.

I just received this bit of (fill in how you feel) news about San Francisco and the dwindling number of families in the city. San Francisco Is Losing Families According to the latest census figures, San Francisco has lost 5,278 children since the last census in 2000. Despite this, the city has 3,000 more children [...]

This is one for the community: I love your blog. I just moved here from NYC a week ago and it’s been an invaluable resource. I just found a rental that I love, [removed]. Gorgeous views, built in 1939 or so. Problem is, a friend from SF pointed out that it’s a “downhill home.” (I’d [...]

Coming off the heels of my post about a modern, Swedish home currently for sale by some clients contemplating their move here to San Francisco or the East Bay, it inspired a long overdue Battle Royale (perhaps on par with SF v.
