Ran across a great write up of the recent history of the San Francisco real estate market. Pigdog Journal (Bad People) -- San Francisco: A Tale of Two Office Markets

But the MOST weird part is that at this point the economy of San Francisco is at full fever pitch, sweating and bug-eyed and tossing around on the bed and spitting up blood. And these loft house executive living spaces were taking up valuable real estate that could be used instead for cramming some more H1-B refugees into tiny boxes and making them code ASP horrors to sell premium nut butters over the Innurnet.
