San Francisco’s explosive economy, and skyrocketing rents, are threatening the city’s vibrant arts scene. “Artists feel under siege – and many fear that the city that once sent a generation of young people on the road following Jack Kerouac in the ’50s, turned the world on to the Summer of Love in the ’60s and nurtured the creation of the Pulitzer-winning AIDS drama “Angels in America” in the ’90s is in danger of becoming one big office park with Victorian architecture.” – San Francisco Chronicle 10/17/00
