Video for new SF apartments is almost all-heterosexual and has one black person--behind the counter

http://sfist.com/2013/12/12/nema_video.php

NEMA, that luxury high-rise mammoth on Mid-Market, just released another promotional video. Oh, brother. It's not good. This one has so many white heterosexuals splashing around a sun-drenched pool, you'll need SPF 55 just to look at it.

... Also noteworthy? Though the casting call asked for "all ethnicities," we only see one Asian and the only black person is working the front desk.



From the SF Chronicle: One-bedroom apartments here start at $4,399/month:

and don't forget those nice amenities that you won't be using due to the fact that you've bought into the 24/7 work cycle of your generation.
Boy this warehouse is so cool and right at the bottom of Polk Street. You may be able to find some of the older gay guys up there.

Oh well if it prevents the more driven techies from infesting West Oakland and other parts of the east bay it can't be all bad.
