  • H. looks over his shoulder. “Is he talking about me?”
  • “Some people don’t know what is…” Really, Arthur?

  • “You can’t live here if your poor, Arthur.” Amen, H.
  • “We’re going to become Disneyland. We’re a terrarium already.”
  • Some guy from PG&E called us a modern Venice? I’d be surprised if that dude still has a job.
  • “Once you lose the ability to override the mayor, you can’t do anything.”

  • What would Matt Gonzalez San Francisco look like? Shaggy long hair and Doc Martens for everybody!
