Day Around the Bay: More Bay Area Residents Slip Into Poverty
"The San Francisco Unified School District has given interim Superintendent Maria Su the permanent superintendent job. The school board voted last night to extend Su's contract, and Su may now have to oversee another potential school-closure process, after the last one was botched and abandoned by her predecessor, and as the district continues to stare down a $114 million deficit. [ABC 7]"
"A new report by Daniel Lurie's Tipping Point Community found that the percentage of Bay Area residents living in poverty rose from 12% to 16% in the course of 2023, which translates to more than 245,000 people slipping below the poverty line in recent years. [KTVU] Hing Lung, the well loved former Chinatown roasted duck purveyor, will reopen Friday in its new Tenderloin location at 927 Post Street, under the name Quack House and yes they are taking Thanksgiving orders. [Chronicle]"
"Donald Trump may boycott the Washington memorial for Dick Cheney on Thursday, but both former presidents Joe Biden and George W. Bush will be there, with Dubya giving some remarks. Trump never made any statement after Cheney's death, and both Cheney and his former congresswoman daughter Liz have been outspoken about Trump being a nightmare for democracy and the Republican party as a whole.

The San Francisco Unified School District appointed interim Superintendent Maria Su to the permanent role and extended her contract. Su may need to oversee another potential school-closure process after a previous one was botched and abandoned, while the district faces a $114 million deficit. University police at UC Berkeley labeled an assault and possible kidnapping report as unfounded. Daniel Lurie's Tipping Point Community reported Bay Area poverty rose from 12% to 16% in 2023, adding more than 245,000 people below the poverty line. Hing Lung will reopen as Quack House in the Tenderloin and is accepting Thanksgiving orders. Cheney memorial plans, an FBI lawsuit over a Pride flag, and Nvidia's strong earnings round out the news.
