    September 6, 2016

  11. @dearsarah the underlying shift is the income equality between the artists who founded BM in SF and the Technorati changing the Bay Area.

    September 6, 2016 · reply to @dearsarah

  12. @dearsarah 20 years ago, there was a rift, but not as much. Plus many artists were also in the creative tech industry. Less so now.

    September 6, 2016 · reply to @dearsarah

  13. @dearsarah In fact, many of those OG burner/techies are now the target of ageism, in addition to being priced out of the city.

  15. @dearsarah I also think an influx of new generation 20 year olds is changing values expressed in the city.

    September 6, 2016 · reply to @dearsarah

  16. @dearsarah and yes, I agree most reporting on BM is uninformed, w/out context and created to capture eyeballs for advertising.

    September 6, 2016 · reply to @dearsarah

  17. @dearsarah well, prob not any 1 thing, but combination of many items. It is a complex situation.

    September 6, 2016 · reply to @dearsarah

  18. @dearsarah part of the pressure is def based on what is economically happening in the Bay Area. I'd love to do a CLA analysis of the situ.

    September 6, 2016 · reply to @dearsarah

  19. @dearsarah I think we are viewing from 2 vistas. You - up close & of the specific event. 1/2

    September 6, 2016 · reply to @dearsarah

  20. @dearsarah Me - seeing the event as an expression of frustration, e.g. the symbol of the event. Both are valuable views. 2/2

    September 6, 2016 · reply to @dearsarah

  21. @dearsarah those are good points. Perhaps because all data comes from that one FB post?

  23. @dearsarah I accidentally stumbled through the WO camp one night, lost in the dark. It was a weird maze of closely packed arrangements.

    September 6, 2016 · reply to @dearsarah

  24. @dearsarah I know stories of ppl sabotaging/vandalizing generators of neighbor camps for their taste in shitty music. Par for the course.

    September 6, 2016 · reply to @dearsarah

  29. @dearsarah kinda of skeptical about that happening, but one can wish. :-)

    September 6, 2016 · reply to @dearsarah
