SFist: Photo du Jour 172

Photo du Jour 172

Sidewalk stencil art found at 24th and Guerrero.

Oh noes! Some other ivory white person is wearing something you don't like! And carrying a Whole Foods bag! Quick! Grab a pen and take to the sidewalks with ineffective vandalism!

Really, it's ignorant crap like this that turns locals and transplants into equally ignorant hippie-bashing, pseudo-Libertarians. Vile.

Trustifarians complain about housing costs? I'd always hoped that whenever someone set me up with a trust fund (and shit, they'd better get a move on-- I'm too old for a trust fund but I'll still take one) I would be able to buy a luxury condo with a doorman and not have to worry about shit like that.

Sure, to maintain the image, I'd never let anyone see the luxury condo with the doorman. I'd have another, shabbier place to take people back to. Only my closest friends would be allowed to see my real house. Like the batcave, except instead of a batcar, it'd have Design Within Reach furnishings.

"ignorant, hippie-bashing, pseudo-Libertarians"

you say that like it's a bad thing...

Hippie bashing is my meat and drink.

And my imaginary trust-funded apartment would not be like the batcave, it would be an exact replica of Dan Tanner's house in Vega$, complete with drive-in living room and goofy, jewey sidekick. Or Colt Sever's house from the Fall Guy, I can't decide.

Yes, let's talk about no-lipstick, crappy bike, bad hair, Manu Chao-listening, manpurse-owning, vegetarian, dog-worshipping, pot-declining, PBR-drinking SIPPIES (self-imposed poverty). In fact, I'd say the only thing that separates Googlistas from Missionarians is where they shop. The menus and schedules are very similar otherwise.

well said, manys.

Have you ever seen the people waiting for google bus? They don't exactly look like captains of industry lighting cigars with $100 bills. They look like a bunch of 20- and 30-somethings who, if they were pulling in tons of cash, probably wouldn't be standing in line for a bus.

Remember these comments when we all flail our hands in the air and wonder why all the families are leaving. The Mission once had one of the largest populations of young kids, now it has wine bars.

I wish someone would come along and poop on that graffiti so that Jameth could take a picture of it.

Stencilling is the new fruit-booting.

"no-lipstick, crappy bike, bad hair, Manu Chao-listening..."

HA! Brilliant.

And while I am an equal opportunity hater, let us not forget the vile Marina-dwellers in all of this bashing.

@manys: You say "dog worshipping" like it's a bad thing.

A friend of mine works for Google. While it certainly looks like he'll be raking it in in a few years for now he's paying 50% of his salary on a modest one-bedroom in the Inner Sunset. Not exactly hand-over-fist.

This post is just as whiny as the "art" it references.
