She holds a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her radio romance began after a bitter breakup with documentary film (Ok, maybe it's still complicated). Her first simultaneous jobs in San Francisco were as Associate Producer on a PBS film series through the Center for Asian American Media and as a butler. She likes to trot, plot and make things with her hands.",

She believes there’s strong evidence to suggest that Pleasant had studied in New Orleans with legendary vodoun practitioner Marie Laveau (also spelled elsewhere as Laveaux or LaVeaux) before coming to San Francisco — and learned particularly from Laveau’s emphasis on using one’s power to serve the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scandal followed scandal.

It’s right before the Gold Rush and right after the U.S. took over California from Mexico. At that point, there’s not really much to the city — it’s mostly sand dunes and it looks like peaceful, rolling countryside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even with so few people, there was a city council. They convinced the federal government to give them the land San Francisco sits on. And then, Fracchia says, they started divvying that land up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They did this late in 1846, when they hired O’Farrell to do the survey,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jasper O’Farrell was an Irish-born surveyor. \u003ca href=\"https://www.revolvy.com/page/Jasper-O%27Farrell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">O’Farrell Street in San Francisco is named after him.\u003c/a> He designed ranchos and other towns in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When he was given the job, there are about, let’s say, 500 people in the settlement of Yerba Buena,” says Fracchia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11702219\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11702219 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/Close2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Charles Fracchia in front of a photo of San Francisco’s original waterfront. \u003ccite>(Sarah Craig/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>O’Farrell had no idea what the future held for this little settlement and he had to guess how big the city would become. With little direction from the city council, he was given free rein to design it however he fancied. He started with a grid — a format already in place by the Mexican settlers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fracchia then points out another drawing of an early map of the city with streets running perpendicular to one another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The map has a bunch of teeny boxes, and each box represents a city block. Each of those blocks is divided into six smaller lots called varas — a Spanish unit of measurement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After O’Farrell finalized his map, the city started auctioning off these varas. The ones South of Market were going for cheap: $12.67. But those close to downtown were pricey: $50 to $100 per vara.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as they are auctioning them off, the Gold Rush happens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of a sudden, there’s a huge demand to cram together an exploding population. A lot of people need to fit into not much space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousbug]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The varas got subdivided into smaller lots, some less than 25 feet wide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a very typical real estate operation in large U.S. cities,” says Fracchia. “You can get more money by splitting the lots up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But 25 feet is not that much space. Another local historian, William Kostura, says that it was just enough room for a parlor and a staircase. So in most cases, houses were built to take up the entire lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To build these houses, the walls had to be built first, on the ground, and then lifted into place using a system of levers and pulleys. This still happens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the unique building techniques, Fracchia says the small lots also influenced the architecture of the buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That gave way to the shape of San Francisco flats or houses. You know, a long narrow corridor called a railroad flat. Little rooms off that. You don’t have any kind of expansion,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11705855\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11705855 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/IMG_0367-1-e1542057187557-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/IMG_0367-1-e1542057187557-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/IMG_0367-1-e1542057187557-160x213.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/IMG_0367-1-e1542057187557-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/IMG_0367-1-e1542057187557-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/IMG_0367-1-e1542057187557.jpg 1224w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">This house once stood at 1916 Sacramento St. and was built in 1878.
