Sunday Real Estate Section

This morning I'm interested in the nothing that interests me.

Like real estate.

San Francisco's a city under siege, where not only can nothing ever be what it is, but everything will never be what it was.

I look at Trulia, the real estate website that lists residential properties for rent in San Francisco, and have to laugh.

I hear my next door neighbors--a German tech entrepreneur with a loud wife and three unhappy sounding children--and want to cry.

There's no other way to regard Germany other than to regard it as a shameful country, and I'm part German.
