I loved this beautiful portrait of a woman, her son, and the apartment in San Francisco’s Noe Valley that they have lived in for the last 31 years.
Now renting for $2,211 including water and trash, it’s an absolute steal in a neighborhood where a three-bedroom can rent for more than $6,000 and houses can sell for $2 million.
Quietly, with glowing photographs and precise text, it builds a case for rent control, for a regular nurse being able to live in the city she works in, and for the idea that for us non-millionaire humans to thrive, we don’t need so incredibly much, but we do need more than our society currently affords most of us.
