RADICAL BUT EFFECTIVE URBAN RENEWAL

by Bob Walsh

A notorious "drug house" in the Castro District of the People's Republic of San Francisco mysteriously caught fire and was badly damaged on Friday night. The house has been termed a "neighborhood nuisance and the owner has been casual about bringing it up to code. A court order recently slapped $1.7 million in fines and penalties against the owner. An appeal was dismissed about two months ago.

The structure was unoccupied at the time of the fire. The cause is "under investigation."
