CHUTZPAH! And the Story of Anthony's Weiner

From inside the Weiner tornado the whole world looks absurd. People who hate you hate you for typing a few lame, creepy things into your laptop. People who admire you probably shouldn’t. Everyone is a menace, a fool or a jackass, like a mosquito. You’ve got ten-thousand mosquitoes swirling around you, and you loathe all of them, and you need them, and they think you’re a pervert, but you might be good for New York because of your ideas book, which isn’t bad.

YOU CAN'T GO HOME AGAIN

We made this shortreal for TechCrunch about the San Francisco housing shortage, evictions, the tech industry, and income inequality. We quickly found that there are no villains in this tale. Each character has a piece of the truth and also a certain lack of understanding. What initially looked like a simple and specific story—wealthy new tenants driving out poorer old ones—turned out to be much more complicated and general: a snapshot of the changing American City. We’ve shown this film to residents from LA, New York, Washington, D.C. and Chicago. They all say the same thing: that’s going on in my neighborhood too.
