A view from my balcony of changes happening now, some coming soon, and some maybe never. The view is Market St. from 8th St. to 10th St., and from Market St. to Howard St. (I've lived at 1390 Market St. for 40 years and I have always known the are from South Van Ness to the bay as South of Market Street. If one really wants to go back in time, it used to be called South of the Slot!)

4 - Crescent Heights - 10th & Market Sts. - 4 levels up to 35 stories
5 - 10th & Mission Sts., north side - low income (I'm too rich and not poor enough for this one - where is the housing for my income level?)
