In this episode of The Bay Insider, we sit down with longtime Potrero Hill resident and neighborhood historian Peter Linenthal to uncover what makes this hillside community so special. Peter shares personal memories of moving to the neighborhood in the 1970s, the quirks of his century-old home, and stories passed down about local legends and everyday life on the hill. We talk about the resilience of Potrero Hill through the 1906 earthquake, the transformations brought by public housing and community activism, and the way the neighborhood has always been a mix of longtime families, newcomers, and creative voices.

Along the way, Peter reflects on music, art, and the small businesses and gathering spots that shape daily life, as well as his work to preserve the neighborhood’s history through the Potrero Hill Archive Project. This is a conversation about memory, place, and community, about how a hill in the middle of San Francisco has managed to keep its own identity while continuing to evolve.

In this episode of The Bay Insider, we’re diving into one of San Francisco’s most talked-about neighborhoods: Dogpatch. We sit down with locals John, Mindy, and Sam to talk about what makes Dogpatch so unique, from its industrial roots and the history of Irish Hill to its growing real estate market and close-knit feel.

We cover everything from Victorian cottages to sleek new construction condos, along with neighborhood favorites like Moshi Moshi sushi, Dogpatch Boulders, Third Rail, and Crane Cove Park. There’s also a stop at Minnesota Street Project, where art and community come together in a way that’s distinctly Dogpatch.

If you’re curious about San Francisco real estate, looking for a sunny, walkable spot to call home, or just want to understand the layers behind this evolving neighborhood, this one’s worth a listen. You’ll get local history, real estate insights, and a window into the kind of lifestyle that’s kept Dogpatch on the radar for good reason.

In this episode of The Bay Insider, we break down the numbers in the San Francisco real estate market for Q2 2025, what it all means looking back, and what we are seeing beyond the numbers.

Yes, home prices have been rising. Single-family homes that check boxes are moving fast. But the condo market? Especially in District 9: SOMA, Mission Bay, South Beach, it’s telling a bit of a stagnant story, with more inventory and a slower pace.

We talk about what’s driving the shifts: the mentality of buyers, changes in interest rates, and some of the hesitation we’re seeing in the market. Plus, we cover the new ADU condo law and how Zillow’s latest listing policy change could affect sellers and agents in San Francisco.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in 2025 or just trying to make sense of the San Francisco housing market right now, this episode is packed with insights to help break it all down.
