City Folx is a comedy web series exploring the theme of Bay Area housing insecurity as experienced by two Drag brothers. "Raq" and "Cin" are opposites who are forced to go to extreme measures to survive in San Francisco's housing market. Dumpster diving, living with techie psychopaths and fighting with their evil landlord Phyllis are par for the course. In episode 1, Raq and Cin write an honest housing ad to attract a depressed roommate who likes spending time alone in their room. City Folx stars two real life drag brothers (Vera Hannush and Bex Salas), who've been honing their skills onstage as members of the Rebel Kings of Oakland. www.cityfolx.com
