The strange and terrible saga of San Francisco incredible shrinking ethics delinquent list By @EskSF and @kellywaldro missionlocal.org/2024/04/the-st…
This week for our "See how they run" series of campaign dispatches, I'm covering mayoral candidate Mark Farrell. First stop? The farmers market
This week for our "See how they run" series of campaign dispatches, I'm covering mayoral candidate Mark Farrell. First stop? The farmers market
The list of delinquent filer SF workers shrank from 479 to 158 when it turned out many simply left their jobs. But a Mission Local analysis reveals only around 30 of the 158 so-called delinquents are still on city payroll. From @EskSF and @kellywaldro missionlocal.org/2024/04/the-st…
Of all the billionaire-backed groups that have taken root in the city, one stands above the rest: Neighbors for a Better San Francisco. Behind the money in the DA recall, they’ve quickly become the top-spending outfit in city politics… via @jrivanob missionlocal.org/2024/04/bigmon…
I put together an election page for @MLNow so that you could better navigate our election coverage for the year. Check out our reporting so far on the mayor's race, the district supervisor races, and BigMoneySF series. More to come! missionlocal.org/election2024/
NEW: Everything you need to know about the November election in San Francisco, we have it covered. From candidate profiles, to election analysis, campaign finance and what your electorate looks like — it's all on our new election page. Check it out: missionlocal.org/2024-san-franc…
Proposed state budget cuts would eliminate Market Match, a program that, for 15 years, has allowed CalFresh recipients to double their dollars at the farmer's market. Both customers and sellers say they will feel the pinch. via @kellywaldro missionlocal.org/2024/04/market…
i cover a lot of heavy subjects, but it was really heartbreaking talking to this devastated family in Colombia about Alberto, their son and brother who was killed last week — just two days after arriving in San Francisco. missionlocal.org/2024/04/albert…
JUST IN: Aaron Peskin is running for mayor. Peskin sells himself as "a man in recovery to lead a city in need of one." Will voters buy that? via @EskSF missionlocal.org/2024/04/aaron-…
The enrollment staff at SFUSD generally helps parents find a spot in public school for their children. But nowadays, with an influx of immigrant families in the city, the staff are scrambling to find students a place to sleep. via @kellywaldro missionlocal.org/2024/04/san-fr…
"We are all dumber for enabling partisans to make truth into a partisan issue...that’s not just dumb. It’s dangerous." Bilal Mahmood, candidate for supe, said he's a neuroscientist. He's not, reporters wrote as much, & all hell broke lose. via @EskSF missionlocal.org/2024/04/bilal-…
Squatting isn't free on Potrero Hill. A rogue manager allegedly collected rents under the table from squatters at the Potrero Annex public housing complex. That follows months of complaints against the private management firm there. via @miss_elenius missionlocal.org/2024/04/sf-pot…
The "Chinese uncles" gather every morning at Claddagh Coffee in the Excelsior, gossiping, talking international relations, chatting about politics. They speak in Taishanese, & have thoughts on the mayor's race... via @xueer_lu missionlocal.org/2024/03/a-morn…
Facing city pressure and complaints from housed neighbors, on Wednesday the RV residents in Bernal Heights formed a caravan and descended the hill, in the pouring rain. “I don’t see why they had to go,” said a neighbor. missionlocal.org/2024/03/bernal…
Facing city pressure, some eight RV residents living on Bernal Heights Boulevard descended the hill on Wednesday evening. For the first time in several years, the street is clear. “I don’t see why they had to go,” said a neighbor. via @kellywaldro missionlocal.org/2024/03/bernal…
San Francisco's long-running plan to eliminate cyclist and pedestrian deaths is called "Vision Zero." Experts say it has zero vision. From @miss_elenius missionlocal.org/2024/03/sf-vis…

Bernal Heights RV dwellers were given a rude awakening some weeks ago: The city would start enforcing a parking ban around Bernal, displacing them in the coming weeks. Now, housed residents are fighting back, hoping to prevent evictions. by @kellywaldro missionlocal.org/2024/03/bernal…

It was a slow day on the campaign trail Friday, so we asked half-a-dozen Uber/Lyft rides drivers about the mayor’s race. Most were apolitical. One had met Peskin, one didn’t like Breed. All spoke about crime, homelessness, & downtown biz. via @jrivanob missionlocal.org/2024/04/see-ho…
The SFMTA and Supervisor Melgar's proposal to change traffic flows — by preventing left turns — outside West Portal station quickly became a contentious neighborhood issue. This week, we asked the District 7 candidates what they think about it. missionlocal.org/2024/04/meet-t…
