Sudden Vacancy At The Odeon, Reports The Examiner
While most mainstream media outlets didn't cover last week's suicide, which happened on Powell Street's H&M/The Odeon building, an SFist commenter pointed out that the Examiner did. Their article on the noontime tragedy was quite revealing:
The building, known as The Odeon, opened in 2007 and contains 29 two-story luxury condominiums, according to the building’s Web site. Condos in the building are listed at $899,000.
Nice.

nice headline.
pretty callous.
nothing like a tradgey to bring out your inner opportunist. i wonder if they're selling his stuff on craigslist already.
This is San Francisco. People would strangle their own grandmothers for the right apartment.
Now if only I could get the lady on the third floor of my building really depressed....
just kidding. maybe.
SFist, you're not making me feel very good about my snark surplus this morning ...
Oh please. So I guess it's not acceptable anymore to open up the newspaper and go straight to the Obituaries section to find out what buildings are going to possibly have an opening?
I fear a lightbulb just went on in Craig Newmark's brain:
"We should be doing the Obituaries!"
The last sure thing for print media.
I can't believe anyone in their right mind would pay near on a million American dollars to live at the pee smelling Market and Powell. These people need to be rounded up.
Brock, I love your complete lack of respect for anyone alive or dead. You're like so post-hip.
FWIW, it's on O'Farrell and Powell, not Market and Powell. The problem isn't so much pee as it is tourist crowds and noise. And those condos are only ONE BEDROOM! Anyone paying close to $1 mil for one freaking bedroom, in the middle of tourist hell, is a dumbass.
