AT:SF Turns One!

4-20-one.jpg

Tomorrow is our first birthday. So, following AT:Chicago's terrific lead, we're recapping what we've learned about you, our readers.

You live in SF, in the Haight/Cole Valley/Castro/Mission (yeah, we need to re-do that survey one of these days). You rent a place that's between 650 and 1,200 square feet, and you pay between $800-$1500). You're not planning on having kids -- which probably explains why you don't decorate for Halloween. You'll spend up to $500 for non-reversible decor in your rented abode. Your home's color comes from accessories -- not including the art you make or you buy for between $100 and $250, and, of course you have art in your toilet/bath combo loo. (Which you think is much better than a combination bedroom/bathroom.) You spend less than an hour a week of non-traditional time in your bedroom, and you have a bedside table that's closer to the table that runneth over.

You scan the pictures and words to decide what to read on AT. . .and we're glad you keep reading, and commenting, and sending us tips and photos. Thanks for a great first year! We hope to meet (and re-meet) you next month!

So most of AT SF is "not planning on having kids "

maybe AT should rephrase the question?
"does your anatomy or your partners allow you to have children.

:D

uhm... adoption? :)... yeah.. that survey definitely needs to be redone - I've turned so many people on to this website - and most own their own homes but living in SF... well... space is at a premium... and there are always the BEST ideas on this site. I've convinced many people to get rid of some scary home decor in favor of things we've seen on AT. THANK YOU!

If your collective anatomy doesn't allow you to have kids, you aren't willing to bring in a friend to provide those organs not supplied within your nuclear family, and you don't intend to/can't adopt, then you're not planning on having kids.

Why you're not planning on having kids is a completely different question. But to assume that gay couples or biologically infertile hetero couples are automatically locked out of parenthood is itself biased.
