Just had a guy and his two kids in the shop, the oldest was 4 1/2, she told me so proudly ... She had a beautiful lavender cardigan on and matching socks ... I told her I loved that colour, we had a little chat about purple and all the purple things we have ... Then she asked me "are you a girl?" ... I looked at her dad and said can I let her know, he said yes

I crouched down to her level and said "that's a nice question you asked" ... and then said "I was born a boy, yuck, and for many reasons I always felt like a girl" ... Her eyes lit up, and I got a huge hugz and she whispered in my ear, "you're a girl"

I am more than likely the first trans person she has met, I made her feel comfortable and listened to ... one at a time ... Her dad thanked me for being kind.

Never dismiss a childs question, you might feel they are abrupt, they are not, they just want to know

First impression are important

Three 1-bedroom below-market rate inclusionary ownership units went on sale today at the Bristol, the new residential development on Yerba Buena Island here in San Francisco.

The units are small, one-bedroom apartments, between 886 and 936 sq. ft. in size.

Maximum eligible household income is between 89% and 134% area median income (AMI), with the sale price being between $153,064 and $509,860.

That all sounds reasonable. Until you consider that HOA fees are no less than $1,520 per month.

That means that at 89% AMI level, that household will be spending about 21% of the gross annual income just on HOA fees. Now add mortgage, insurance, property taxes, etc.
