The Ripple Effect of High Housing Costs
An excerpt from the New York Times -
San Francisco Restaurants Can’t Afford Waiters. So They’re Putting Diners to Work.
The city offers a case study of how high housing costs alter the economics of everything else, including restaurant service.
By Emily Badger
SAN FRANCISCO — Souvla, a Greek restaurant with a devoted following, serves spit-fired meat two ways: in a photogenic sandwich, or on a photogenic salad, either available with a glass of Greek wine. The garnishes are thoughtful: pea shoots, harissa-spiked yogurt, mizithra cheese.
The small menu is so appealing and the place itself so charming that you almost forget, as a diner, that you have to do much of the work of dining out yourself. You scout your own table. You fetch and fill your own water glass. And if you’d like another glass of wine, you go back to the counter.

If This is Low income . . .
An excerpt from SFGate -
A six-figure salary is considered 'low income' in San Francisco, and the threshold is rising
By Michelle Robertson
The Bay Area is so expensive, earning $117,400 a year qualifies you as "low income" in some counties.
Every year the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development releases "income limits," the minimum income level required to qualify for some affordable housing programs.
To be considered "low income" in San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin counties, a family of four must earn $117,400 a year. "Very low income" is considered $73,300.

Firemen Save the Day

These kids were carrying water in pots to fill up their pool. Then firefighters stopped to help.
By Amanda Jackson
It was a hot summer day in Charlotte, North Carolina, and these kids just wanted to splash around in their kiddie pool. But the only way they had to fill it was to carry pots of water from the sink.
Thanks to their local firefighters with the assist on the water, the children were cooling off in no time.
"Today, after leaving a medical call, Engine 18 stumbled across a family desperately trying to fill up a kiddy pool by filling pots from the sink for a little boys birthday on this sweltering day," Charlotte Fire Station 18 posted on Facebook on Sunday.
