Art Tom knew something was up at the house near his in the Sunset District. Unfamiliar men were congregating on the street at all hours. They'd stand outside, smoking and talking on cell phones. At some point, they'd walk up the steps and in the front door. They'd stay about half an hour and leave.

This property was so run down that there was yellow tape everywhere. Visitors literally couldn’t walk in more than one area due to the fact that they would fall into the sub-basement, or worse. Yet it sold for 25K over asking, for $1.02M. On the one hand it’s understandable. It’s Noe Valley and a large lot. On the other hand, it is not. It’s mid-summer 2008 and this isn’t supposed to be happening, especially on previously less desirable streets such as Clipper. Your thoughts?

Some of the wooden steps at Iron Alley creak from old age, but they still work, despite the prominent white sign that reads "Steps Closed - No Exit." The sign brings to mind the famous Jean-Paul Sartre play about people trapped in a room, and in the case of Iron Alley, those who ignore the sign and ascend the stairs find a locked, chain-link fence. No exit indeed. Christopher Curry wants to know why. Curry lives near Iron Alley, which is in the Corona Heights area of San Francisco.
