Free Market Head-Scratcher: Who'd Have Thought, Bargain-Basement Housing Not Always of Highest Quality

The Tenderloin Housing Clinic's properties may be among the worst places in the city to live -- but hey, at least it's cheap! Jeff, the proprietor of the Bluoz blog, recently posted a slew of eviction notices, going back several years; and man, it ain't pretty. Knives, fistfights, spitting, floods and fires, a cleaver, an abandoned dog, ripped-up smoke alarms, garbage-hoarders, broken limbs, choking with a telephone cable, stabbings, and (most shockingly) hateful comments all make an appearance. In other words, it makes for a thrilling read. Curbed SF calls it "Jerry Springer" meets "The Wire."

But like we said: it's cheap! Jeff's been making the most of rent control for years and years now, and he'd like to keep it that way. Well, of course! Who doesn't like cheap rent? What Jeff objects to is having drug addicts and the profoundly insane living next door. So if someone could please do something about those people, then he'd be free to enjoy his nearly-free housing in peace. So, could you get right on that? Thanks.
