Scott Wiener got ushered out of the Trans March and immediately went on Bari Weiss' CBS News to complain about it (while his campaign raised funding off the episode).

One of Mayor Daniel Lurie's signature policies is an effort to streamline the City's permitting processes and bring them all under one roof.

Last year, the 16-unit apartment building at 1120 Jackson St. was sold to a new owner or group of owners under the guise of an LLC called Nabob Hill.

In its first month of operations, 418 people cycled through the new RESET Center in the SOMA, brought in by the police because they were suspected of public drug use, held for up to 24 hours without access to methadone or buprenephrine, offered peanut butter sandwiches, pudding, yogurt and crackers

Help may finally be on the way for those who struggle to afford San Francisco housing prices, because the crisis is so bad it now impacts people the mainstream media and our elected officials actually care about.

A visibly crestfallen and noticeably unscripted Lurie took to Instagram during the crisis to salvage the vibes. "Fog and fireworks, we did it the San Francisco way, and now I want everybody to also just look out for each other, be kind, it's gonna take a while for these clogged streets to empty out

As rents, evictions and home prices spike and San Francisco braces for a historic influx of cash from the IPOs of OpenAI and Anthropic, nearly everyone agrees: It would be great to build some more housing.

The SFPD's mounted unit costs $1.6 million per year for personnel alone. That doesn't include the oat, hay, saddles, deworming and horseshoes budget. The horses are admittedly nice to look at, and that's about all they're good for.

The Forbes billionaire count for 2025 found 58 of these rare individuals call San Francisco home, only some of whom maintained active correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein. That makes San Francisco the reigning most densely-billionaired city in the world.

San Francisco has both the highest and the fastest-growing home prices in the nation. In March, the number of homes sold for over $5 million hit an all time high. Mayor Daniel Lurie hasn't put forward any solutions to counter these trends, and that's likely because he doesn't see them as a problem

The Rosa Parks apartments in the Western Addition serves nearly 400 low-income seniors who, for over a year and a half, have been without a grocery store within walking distance.

Fully-funded public transit is fast, easy, cheap and reliable. That's a big problem for Silicon Valley schemes to corner the transportation market and get people to choose expensive car trips over buses and trains. You can rest assured they'll play dirty to get what they want.

Mayor Daniel Lurie personally funds his own round-the-clock PR operation and he gets his money's worth. These high-priced professionals are able to quickly shift the conversation away from incidents and issues that might bring down a less wealthy and well-coached politician.
