Redstone Building Today
The building lost Woman's Luna Sea Project in 2005, Spirit Menders in July 2007, Mission Agenda in 2006, Cine Accion in 2006, Homes Not Borders in 2006, IndyBay in 2006, The Homeless Children's Network In August 2007 and will lose the Mission Area Federal Credit Union in October 2007. Theater Rhino, the building's oldest and largest tenant, was forced to leave on June 30, 2009 due to staggering rent increases over the last 4 years. The rest of the building's tenants have also been hit with substantial rent increases over the last four years. A successful protest of a new round of increases was blocked in the spring of 2009. The Redstone Building is facing a tough new era. However, the Tenants association has formally obtained non-profit status and will be hosting a July 24 event as part of the annual bay area LaborFest.

Famous quotes containing the words building and/or today:
“A building is akin to dogma; it is insolent, like dogma. Whether or no it is permanent, it claims permanence, like a dogma. People ask why we have no typical architecture of the modern world, like impressionism in painting. Surely it is obviously because we have not enough dogmas; we cannot bear to see anything in the sky that is solid and enduring, anything in the sky that does not change like the clouds of the sky.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Whoever today speaks of human existence in terms of power, efficiency, and “historical tasks” ... is an actual or potential assassin.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
