For one thing, conversion is no longer guaranteed.

Any interested party may go to DPW to attempt to stop any conversion for any reason.

Not sure how that helps anyone.

I dont totally understand what you mean about existing 3-unit TICs being screwed. Wont all TICs that existed before April 15th 2013 be able to convert within 7 years via the bypass? What am I missing?

It’s a fine line between a cult and a club. Thanks for your comment – I’ll have to go do some more digging.

Man – o – man, people with a little bit of information are truly dangerous. First, yes, #85 St. Elmo was owned by a Foundation that used the property to teach and promote the teachings of Gurdjieff during the 70s 80s. However one feels about the Gurdjieff method it is completely irresponsible to add a statement about ‘cult leaders’ like Alex Horn and his lunatic wife Sharon Gans. Even if Horn had stepped through the doors at St. Elmo (which I doubt,) he certainly was no leader there but rather, developed his own self-styled cultic following proclaiming to be the Gurdjieff Work. While these two separate entities are definitely a part of colorful San Francisco history, they really shouldn’t be mashed together for the sake of appearing informed. Tisk-tisk! It is more likely that the actual Foundation has some actual connection to the Republic of China…a much more scary prospect since China does just fine with brainwashing all on it’s own.

This is very interesting. I found your post very comical. I guess it never really occured to me that the street signs in SF are basically yelling at people. I think that the capital letters represent a sort of Bigger presence the city has over the region and are in a way fitting. San Francisco is fairly small in terms of being a big city its not very big. The capital letter signs make san francisco seem bigger and more serious While the new signs have a more relaxed whimsical look to them. These sign changes are incredibly relavent to all of us but me especially as I’m currently at work on a San Francisco and Oakland Street sign project this summer. I have already pumped out a rough version of my San Francisco Sign project it can be seen here http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexmerenkov/8527486576/
After doing my first version of this project i realize i missed A LOT of streets and i really want to accurately represent the city and its history through its street signs all of which convey historical significance and echo the history of our region and northern california. On a more moleculer level its interesting to look at how names, Places and signs relate to us and how we view our surroundings and how we associate a sense of “Home” with that. The Shift in San Francisco Street signs from upper case to lower case makes this street sign project a lot easier since i can use upper or lower case, as i suspect they haven’t finished replacing all signs yet. The city should sell the old signs to residents or something or just give them to me haha. The font used in the san Francisco street signs is called highway gothic and can be downloaded, you too can make your own san francisco street signs in photoshop if you wanted to. Anyways i cant offer a lot of insight into the logistics of the city in replacing or securement of these street signs but i do know a lot about the history behind the names in the signs and I’m very enthralled to learn more about the history behind the names as well as the history behind every day people who live, work and play in San Francisco. Streets are more important than we realize, people grow up, Raise their children, Propose and so on and these streets and their names are so incredibly important because of all that has happened on them.

Can I just say what a comfort to find somebody who genuinely understands what they’re talking about on the net. You certainly realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people ought to look at this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised you are not more popular given that you most certainly possess the gift.
