"Ever since I took over, I've been bailing water out of a sinking ship that never left the dock," said Eric Hinds, the current and, it appears, last editor-in-chief. "There just didn't seem to be any way to find people to work at the paper." flintexpats.com/2024/03/tough-…

Whatever the context, D9 candidate Jackie Fielder is making one thing is very clear: she's hellbent on fighting class warfare against "villainous" techies, the scapegoats for all ills by DSA ideologues in SF. D9 voters, we cannot be governed by hate & division. Vote @Trevor4SF!
Ate almost an entire box of Girl Scouts Samoas cookies last night and became so disgusted with myself that I dumped the rest into the garbage disposal, earning the rage of wife and son who had procured the cookies for themselves. I am currently in a time out.
The RVs on Bernal Hill is one of the top issues I’ve heard from residents about. They’ve been asking for action on this for years. I’m grateful the Mayor reinstated parking restrictions. We can ensure services for those who want them while ensuring safe and clean streets.
Watch out SFers, this is what Yimbys are yearning for: full state control over ALL aspects of our city and lives, with the ultimate goal of eliminating prop 13, taxing older residents out of their homes and pushing ppl out so that THEY can occupy the city. Soviet-style power.
i'm starting to wonder if we are better off eliminating city and county councils, making state legislatures full time & well paid to handle all the land use, transportation and policy items at the state level? hyper local seems to breed caution to change state level doesn't.

@Scott_Wiener You don't drive a car, right? If you did, you'd recognize that you often need to go beyond the posted speed limit, to keep up with the flow of traffic, to get out of the way of an obstacle (like a boulder about to fall on your car) or to outrun a carjacker in San Francisco!
