Erik,

Well at last, some good news out of the election.

We had a historic preservation bond issue here in San Francisco county and it failed 64 % yes to 36% no. It needed at least 66%. Would have worked on brick building like the Union Iron Works (built railroad equipment) and the
car barn for the San Francisco and San Mateo Steet Railway (first electric line) when most of city was cable powered.
