San Francisco — Cool Grey City of Love, Baghdad by the Bay

City of coffee, cable cars, burritos, beatniks, hippies, hills

Your one stop Frisco shop - what's the haps, what's fucked, what can be done, what's on

This is a good sign. It actually explains *why* this restriction exists rather than just saying “no.”

Not great from a data viz pov as the situation is not really circular, etc. but still

@MBridegam @chema @skinnylatte Downtown has gotten SIGNIFICANTLY duller in my lifetime, with the closure of most movie theatres and many other venues and the increasingly bland, mallified retail sector. Why would anyone go there if they didn't have to? The only stuff, really, is the museums clustered around 3rd and Mission. And walking through there to get to Chinatown and North Beach.

Exclusive: UCSF to pay $100 million to acquire two struggling S.F. hospitals [St. Mary's and St. Francis}

This seems like a positive step in SF healthcare. Removes those facilities from Catholic restrictions, brings their staff into the strong union structures at UCSF, and should allow for some economies of scale.

“Cue the troll farms – a well-funded network of astroturf PACs like GrowSF, TogetherSF, and Stop Crime SF. They’re spending millions on this election to convince us that the City is a cesspool run by progressive bleeding hearts and that the only solution is a tough-on-crime, tough-on-drugs, tough-on-schools, tough-on-poor-people crackdown.”
