- Christina Moretta has been a photo curator, archivist, and librarian for the San Francisco History Center for 10 years at the San Francisco Library. She loves the serendipity of finding the answers.
"I basically discovered a job where you can get paid to be a detective and do research and not write papers," she laughs. "People can call it home more if they know the history of where they are."

Ever since Eugene Ashton-Gonzalez started hosting, he estimates he’s brought around 1,000 people, from city politicians to artists to journalists, to the tower.
“When we challenge our fears and we bring our friends along to participate and challenge those fears with us, we create community and we also grow as people," he says. "It’s in those moments when we risk something that we really enhance our capacity to learn.”

- Sandra Velasquez’s autoimmune disorder flaring up is what got her family evicted from their apartment in San Francisco nearly a year ago: She was hospitalized and missed too many paychecks from her restaurant cashier job. Now it’s what keeps them penned in their room at the only hotel the city has leased for homeless families who need private space because of vulnerabilities to the coronavirus.
If the disease creeps into her body, it could mean death for the 38-year-old immuno-compromised mother. So, at the end of April, after months in a crowded local shelter with her daughter Angeline, 2, and son Javier, 13, Velasquez moved her family into their hotel room.
“Sometimes it’s hard, but you can’t really show it,” Velasquez said. “You have to be strong for the kids. And most of the time, I really appreciate that I’m getting more time with them than I’ve had in many years.”

“I can leave my stuff here and nobody takes it, and I don’t even need a tent because I sleep under the overpass,” he said. “I think that virus that people talk about was invented to keep people from communicating, but I’m not going to catch it out here. This is nice. I feel safe.”

- Description
- Sharon Sanghera-Sidhu opened Oakland's Four Elements Fitness in January 2015 with the intention that physical fitness and combat sports should be accessible to everyone regardless of gender identity and expression.
“Transgender people, gender-nonconforming queer folk, we don’t feel comfortable walking into a space that is about your body — which is what a gym is,” Tamaribuchi says. “We wanted to provide a space to folks who have gone through trauma or have dysphoria who aren’t connecting with their bodies where they can feel very strong in a strength that isn’t necessarily confined by gender.”

- Description
- Built in 1897 by British architect Bernard J. Cahill, the Columbarium is the last place inside the city limits where you can still be interred. Starting in 1910, ordinances were passed that prohibited cremations or further burials in the city, and the Columbarium was abandoned altogether in 1934.
Emmitt Watson spent nearly half of his life tending to the Columbarian and its over 65,000 residents, as well as holding tours and services. “I like making a sad heart smile,” he says. “In return, I got another friend. And we all need friends. I got tons of them.”
