Poignant remarks about a destroyed city rebuilt but likely to be destroyed anew.

Until recently, my brother lived in a two story home on Market Street. Great view; off street parking.

Despite the occasional shake, rattle and roll events that beset the city over the years -- including a bridge collapse -- he stubbornly stayed aging in place.

No longer. He sold his townhouse and moved to Texas not for tax reasons, but to age near family.

We all felt a measure of relief. The north-south geographic fault that traverses most of California is a sleeping catastrophe

Agreed. I lived for years in San Francisco and loved it at the time. For various reasons, I wouldnโ€™t live there now. The sleeping San Andreas is one of them. Only a matter of time before it wakes up.
