If developers had to add one extra unit for every lantern metaphor their architects trot out, we could end the housing crisis

Notice something different on your way to the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market this morning? Our crews have been out this week installing the new section of two-way bike lane on the Embarcadero!

For the past two years, San Francisco has been swept up by a corruption scandal that extends to the very top of the city government.

See for yourself how all the major players are connected with our interactive corruption map.

@trufelman I misread this at first as “Russian tables.” Still works?

This @EskSF story has everything: "The rain never comes down on Willie Brown" ... aerial photos ... Tony Hall cameo ... perfect use of the word "gallivanting."

And I think just by reading this I walked about with 3 college credits in zoning law.

SF building officials buried their heads in concrete — along with gas pipes.

"As building officials in Miami could tell you, it’s better to avoid a calamity than have to piece together, post-facto, how it happened — and what was missed."

I kept waiting to find out that “bag of chips” is code for something else but...no

@tkiramadden reunions with a character we haven’t met yet that manage to be tearjerkers, because the movie knows how to prime us to feel like we already know them. e.g., bill pullman and geena davis in a league of their own, the dad’s homecoming in 1994 little women.

The economy isn’t closed, people. The economic activities we’re doing - childcare, cooking, cleaning etc - just aren’t considered valuable by most economists. #feminist #economics #Covid_19

people who take up the entire sidewalk are the manspreaders of social distancing

Went to @Rainbow_Grocery this a.m. and it was mobbed. Very good precautions, many bulk bins blocked off, gloves, hand sanitizer, the works. The shoppers were all trying to stay out of each other’s way, cashiers going at warp speed. Everyone was doing their best. Heartening!

[Lamar Anderson @srslynow]

Some personal news: After about two years as senior editor at San Francisco Magazine, I have been laid off, effective today—leaving, coincidentally or not, zero (0) editorial staff on site at the San Francisco office. I'm pretty good at writing and editing stuff! Please hire me.
