The Ferry Building

The local ABC affiliate does an investigative report (and also a common sense report) on the changes currently at work at the Ferry Building. Namely, since the five-year leases of the original crop of tenants are up, the Ferry Building is raising rents across the board, mostly because it can and unfortunately, because that's what landlords do. The development is upsetting the smaller operations, like Mistral and the mushroom vendorman, who might be forced out along with the other mom-and-pop type shops. This might not help the FB's stigma.
