On Thursday, 826 Valencia -- the youth organization started by author Dave Eggers -- was set to open \u003ca href=\"http://826valencia.org/our-programs/tenderloin-center/\" target=\"_blank\">a new youth writing center\u003c/a> at the former site of what Kim has called \"one of the worst liquor stores in the city.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(Anna Vignet /San Francisco Public Press)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A hat tip to colleague Mark Trautwein, who alerted us to this piece by Danah Boyd, originally published on Medium and then on Huffington Post: \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/danah-boyd/san-francisco-class-war_b_5324884.html\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>San Francisco's (In)Visible Class War\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> Boyd observes what many — most? — of us do every day: the staggering spectacle of San Francisco homelessness set against the city's spectacular wealth. Of course, San Francisco isn't the only place you can see this. But Boyd argues there's a difference here:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>San Francisco is in the middle of a class war. It’s not the first or last city to have heart-wrenching inequality tear at its fabric, challenge its values, test its support structures. But what’s jaw-dropping to me is how openly, defensively, and critically technology folks demean those who are struggling. The tech industry has a sickening obsession with meritocracy. Far too many geeks and entrepreneurs worship at the altar of zeros and ones, believing that outputs can be boiled down to a simple equation based on inputs. In a modern-day version of the Protestant ethic, there’s a sense that success is a guaranteed outcome of hard work, skills, and intelligence. Thus, anyone who is struggling can be blamed for their own circumstances. This attitude is front and center when it comes to people who are visibly homeless on the streets of San Francisco, a mere fraction of the total homeless population in that city.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Boyd prescribes a remedy for the attitudes she describes, born of an experience with a co-worker a decade ago — the simple act of talking to those living on the street:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>If you’re living in the Bay Area and working in tech, take a moment to do what I asked my colleague to do a decade ago. Walk around the Tenderloin and talk with someone whose poverty is written on their body. Respectfully ask about their life. Where did they come from? How did they get here? Where do they want to go? Ask about their hopes and dreams, struggles and challenges. Get a sense for their story. Connect as people. Then think about what meritocracy in tech really means.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

(Anna Vignet /San Francisco Public Press)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A hat tip to colleague Mark Trautwein, who alerted us to this piece by Danah Boyd, originally published on Medium and then on Huffington Post: \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/danah-boyd/san-francisco-class-war_b_5324884.html\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>San Francisco's (In)Visible Class War\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> Boyd observes what many — most? — of us do every day: the staggering spectacle of San Francisco homelessness set against the city's spectacular wealth. Of course, San Francisco isn't the only place you can see this. But Boyd argues there's a difference here:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>San Francisco is in the middle of a class war. It’s not the first or last city to have heart-wrenching inequality tear at its fabric, challenge its values, test its support structures. But what’s jaw-dropping to me is how openly, defensively, and critically technology folks demean those who are struggling. The tech industry has a sickening obsession with meritocracy. Far too many geeks and entrepreneurs worship at the altar of zeros and ones, believing that outputs can be boiled down to a simple equation based on inputs. In a modern-day version of the Protestant ethic, there’s a sense that success is a guaranteed outcome of hard work, skills, and intelligence. Thus, anyone who is struggling can be blamed for their own circumstances. This attitude is front and center when it comes to people who are visibly homeless on the streets of San Francisco, a mere fraction of the total homeless population in that city.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Boyd prescribes a remedy for the attitudes she describes, born of an experience with a co-worker a decade ago — the simple act of talking to those living on the street:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>If you’re living in the Bay Area and working in tech, take a moment to do what I asked my colleague to do a decade ago. Walk around the Tenderloin and talk with someone whose poverty is written on their body. Respectfully ask about their life. Where did they come from? How did they get here? Where do they want to go? Ask about their hopes and dreams, struggles and challenges. Get a sense for their story. Connect as people. Then think about what meritocracy in tech really means.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In all these years leading \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfnetworkministries.org/\">San Francisco Network Ministries\u003c/a>, she said she's had hands laid on her in anger only twice. Most people, even the drug dealers, will comply when she politely asks that they deal their drugs elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bigger guy like me, however, might give people a reason to be defensive, especially if I put off nervous energy. \"If we walked down the street together,\" Hope told me jokingly, \"I might have to protect YOU!\" What a blessed thing: to be protected by the woman known by some as the Patron Saint of the Tenderloin.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This long-running ministry has not just been about saving souls. It's been about teaching computer skills, performing memorial services for otherwise anonymous street people and, especially close to Hope's heart, operating a safe house to help women escape prostitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She will continue to work closely with that program, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfsafehouse.org/\">San Francisco SafeHouse\u003c/a>, after she retires. The other SFNM programs will go on through other nonprofits, but the umbrella organization will fold. Also continuing, of course, is the lovely multifamily housing complex her ministry built in the Tenderloin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was amazed to see 555 Ellis St. (and startled that it's even nicer than the building I live in). I recorded our interview in the complex's meditation garden, sitting on a bench next to a small fountain, surrounded by sage plants that attract hummingbirds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was clear from the very start of our interview that the Rev. Hope is not eager to retire. \"I'm truly grieving,\" she said, at the thought of losing constant contact with so many people whose lives she, her staff and volunteers have touched. SFNM began as a simple coffee shop and grew into an institution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing about Hope feels institutional or bureaucratic, so it's easy to see how the organizational rigors might have lost their novelty. But she said this work has made her a better person by forcing her to open her heart, see the divinity in even the most diabolical people, and confront the many prejudices she brought with her to the Bay Area after growing up in the South.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forget what you've heard about the Tenderloin: Most of the people there are good. Some are deeply troubled and, yes, far too many are strung out and mentally ill, but there aren't as many truly bad people as you might think. The work of SFNM seeks to highlight the goodness in Tenderloin residents so they can have a better chance at life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday Sept. 25 a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfsafehouse.org/events/26-a-legacy-of-hope-a-benefit-for-safehouse\">gala \u003c/a>will take place to honor Hope's continuing work and raise money for SafeHouse. It's a way of making sure that more good things happen in the Tenderloin, even after she moves on to her next challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And speaking of challenges, hopefully someday someone will address that taxi problem. After my interview I finally gave up trying to hail one and headed over to City Hall instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There, Yellow Cab came in four minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/interview-with-glenda-hope\" target=\"_blank\">Listen to the interview\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F112462718\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It's been about teaching computer skills, performing memorial services for otherwise anonymous street people and, especially close to Hope's heart, operating a safe house to help women escape prostitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She will continue to work closely with that program, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfsafehouse.org/\">San Francisco SafeHouse\u003c/a>, after she retires. The other SFNM programs will go on through other nonprofits, but the umbrella organization will fold. Also continuing, of course, is the lovely multifamily housing complex her ministry built in the Tenderloin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was amazed to see 555 Ellis St. (and startled that it's even nicer than the building I live in). I recorded our interview in the complex's meditation garden, sitting on a bench next to a small fountain, surrounded by sage plants that attract hummingbirds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was clear from the very start of our interview that the Rev. Hope is not eager to retire. \"I'm truly grieving,\" she said, at the thought of losing constant contact with so many people whose lives she, her staff and volunteers have touched. SFNM began as a simple coffee shop and grew into an institution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing about Hope feels institutional or bureaucratic, so it's easy to see how the organizational rigors might have lost their novelty. But she said this work has made her a better person by forcing her to open her heart, see the divinity in even the most diabolical people, and confront the many prejudices she brought with her to the Bay Area after growing up in the South.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forget what you've heard about the Tenderloin: Most of the people there are good. Some are deeply troubled and, yes, far too many are strung out and mentally ill, but there aren't as many truly bad people as you might think. The work of SFNM seeks to highlight the goodness in Tenderloin residents so they can have a better chance at life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday Sept. 25 a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfsafehouse.org/events/26-a-legacy-of-hope-a-benefit-for-safehouse\">gala \u003c/a>will take place to honor Hope's continuing work and raise money for SafeHouse. It's a way of making sure that more good things happen in the Tenderloin, even after she moves on to her next challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And speaking of challenges, hopefully someday someone will address that taxi problem. After my interview I finally gave up trying to hail one and headed over to City Hall instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There, Yellow Cab came in four minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/interview-with-glenda-hope\" target=\"_blank\">Listen to the interview\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F112462718\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
