While I mostly agree, it's worth noting that, while "Eighty-five percent of San Francisco is zoned so that it’s illegal to build apartments.", developers are not building them where they are not only allowed, but also approved - because it "doesn't pencil out."
The arguments about homelessness ignore the problem of expecting the market to solve a problem of profit margins.

First Light is a special event worth celebrating for any camera or telescope. This time it's both, with a Dwarf Mini smart telescope. Taken from a parking lot, I sat it on the roof of the car and started configuring/capturing.
The image is Pleiades, a star cluster 444ly from earth. While I only had about 5 minutes exposure time, it was a good #firstlight

Alcatraz has been practically frozen in time since the day that the storied prison saw its last inmate 62 years ago.
When the federal government closed the facility, officials had deemed it a deteriorated relic that was insufficient for housing inmates.
Alcatraz closed in part because it was far more expensive to run a prison on an island than on the mainland since everything had to be shipped in.
The small number of prisoners made the extra expense even more questionable…
