Bay To Breakers–What’s the Deelio?

bay-to-breakers-2009SF Schtuff loves Bay to Breakers,  but we’re having trouble painting the picture of what the mobile party will look like this year.  From the ING Bay to Breakers website, some of the new rules:

  • Shared enforcement of city ordinances regarding alcohol. Anyone publicly drinking alcohol or displaying public drunkenness on or along the racecourse will be subject to fines and prosecution. Race organizers will coordinate with the San Francisco Police Department to proactively remove kegs and glass bottles of alcohol from the racecourse.
  • Wheeled objects and floats will be permitted on the course, with new provisions for safety. Participants with wheeled objects and floats must be registered to participate. Wheeled objects and floats must enter the race at the starting line in designated corrals outlined below. Wheeled objects and floats cannot be motorized or taller than 9 feet; and may not be used to transport or store alcohol. Float owners are directed to act responsibly toward the environment and other participants, and to dispose of their floats in dumpsters provided along the course and at the Finish Line.
  • Leave no trace. Help us keep the city clean by placing your garbage and recycling in one of the many dumpsters placed along the course.

There have been hearings to ban illicit behavior, pissing in public, trash dumping and more, but the real questions are… Can we drink?  Do you think we should drink?  Do you like the chaos?  What are you going to dress up as this year?  Tell us your thoughts here!

Real Estate Agents Are At Fault

Not loans.  Not appraisers.  Not Madoff.  Not policy.  Not speculators.  Not buyers.  Not sellers.  Not deregulation.  Not greed.  Not sub-prime.  Not credit.  Not war.  Not interest rates.  It was real estate agents.  The entire global economic mess is the fault of real estate agents.  Those bastards!

It’s a terrible thing to come to terms with, but I am the reason the world is in an economic tailspin. Me, alone. All those foreclosures, short sales, bank failures, job losses, bailouts, plummeting stocks, the ripple effect into Europe, China, even Madoff: all my fault. Moi. That last house I sold at 253 Carrington Way? That was the tipping point, I’m convinced. I sold it for $657,500 in August 2005, and now Zillow is damning it at $537,000.  Read the rest of this article from Salon.com.

Seductively Sold LI

seductively-sold-small

Labas rytas,

We’ve had questions regarding the asking price listed in our chart and the asking price shown on the property detail link we use.  Often times, the price on the property detail page is different than the one we list as the “asking price”.  In an effort to be as transparent as possible about the data we’re servin’, we use the original asking price in our report, not the most recent asking price (we’ve done this since day one, so all you “plugged-in” readers, fear not, this is the real deal).  The asking price on the property detail page usually reflects the most recent asking price, not the original asking price.  So, to get a real sense of the differential between asking/original price and the selling price, you should sign-up for Seductively Sold if you have not already.

Our weekly installment, Seductively Sold will be available for your viewing pleasure each Monday. If you would like to see the actual sales price for the properties listed, you must agree to the terms and conditions and ask…
