@Amritpa1 @rohindhar A weekend open house is essentially the busiest the street will ever be outside of special events

[Ben Bega @BenBega]

@rohindhar I walk past this place pretty often, at first it was somewhat compelling to me, but the more I go by, the more obviously impractical it is. You have to have good transit access or parking, this place doesnt really have either.

[Ben Bega @BenBega]

@rohindhar When did they require that change? I saw the house when it originally went on the market and it was really weird, with the main level split from upper ones.

Now its all connected, and both front doors enter into the same space

@emissionite 24th and Church in Noe being 1-3 stories is insane. Some of the strongest public transit connections in the city, in a great location, and we just dont let people live there unless they are insanely wealthy

@rohindhar Them blaming Lyft racks for lack of parking is so funny. There are like 25 max in the entire sunset district, with ~12 located on Irving or the great highway

@Deserteon @SASBoomstick @Scott_Wiener So exactly what this bill does?

[Ben Bega @BenBega]

@SASBoomstick @Scott_Wiener If the agency owns the land, they should get to dictate what they want. Ideally we make it extremely easy to rent out the land to developers so they can collect money, like in Japan

@maxdubler Bozeman needed it so bad, the rental market was awful

@JConrBOrtega How do you think they are misrepresenting them specifically? What do you think isn’t being talked about clearly. It is a comparison of average weekend numbers from the same periods of time across two years. Really not much room for interpretation

[Ben Bega @BenBega]

@ErikaEcho23 @JConrBOrtega This happened last year as well

[Ben Bega @BenBega]

@rohindhar Thought this was crazy at first but the general idea that every driveway removes a parking permit the city can sell + reserves the spot solely for the homeowner checks out after thinking about it. Not my favorite thing but definitely seems reasonable

@maxdubler @cathasach4bikes See: Bozeman, MT

@rohindhar How are condos doing? There are a handful of condos listed in Noe that have seemingly low list prices, assuming they will also sell above asking?

@pitdesi This downward trend was already considerably in motion before the mayoral change. Lurie has had good optics so far, but he hasn’t done that much fundamentally different.

The Real-Time Investigations Center (RTIC) is a turning point for public safety in San Francisco.

This center brings together data from drones deployed during an incident, public safety cameras, license plate readers, and more—and pushes that information directly to officers on the ground in real time.

That means faster decisions, quicker response, and safer outcomes for the public.

And it’s already producing results. RTIC has assisted in over 500 arrests, supporting our historic drop in crime.

It is helping prevent high-speed chases by tracking suspects remotely. It’s helping locate missing people—including people in crisis—more quickly and safely. And it’s giving our officers critical information during dangerous situations, improving their ability to respond while reducing risk.

We saw that just this weekend, when a drone from RTIC gave the Fire Department a real-time aerial view of an active fire in Nob Hill.

This technology is the future of policing in San Francisco: officers using their training and judgment, supported by the best tools available, to keep our communities safe.
