This week we talk with Sabrina Gee-Shin, Realtor extraordinaire, San Francisco native, and an “ABC” (American Born Chinese) who doesn’t speak Chinese. We talked about gyoza, real estate, racism, and everything in between.
Highlights:
Is there any truth to Cynthia’s theory that there’s an inverse relationship between the amount of food on brokers tour in any given week and the strength of the current market.
Sabrina says “Love is handmade,” eschewing prepared platters of food and preferring homemade fare for catering.
Sabrina’s mother-in-law’s favorite Korean restaurant: Han Il Kwan, https://www.yelp.com/biz/han-il-kwan-san-francisco
All about the value of creating community through sharing food.
Cameron House in Chinatown is a worthy cause: https://cameronhouse.org/
In case you don’t know what gyoza is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiaozi#Gy%C5%8Dza
Partners in a home search sometimes arrive in a state where they are no longer hearing each other.
Real estate has a long history of discrimination and San Francisco is no exception.
The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and freeway closure had a major negative impact on Chinatown’s economic health. The city’s new subway through Union Square is, in some sense, a reparation for that.
