There's Zero Evidence Great Highway Closure Made Sunset Streets Less Safe - Streetsblog San Francisco

Did the Upper Great Highway closure make Sunset neighborhood streets less safe? Supervisor Alan Wong claimed it did at a January 8 press conference, citing a simple year-over-year map comparison of crash data. But my analysis, using the same DataSF crash data with rigorous statistical controls, finds no evidence to support that claim, and if anything, the data suggest the opposite.

Drama Masks: Does City Hall even care about the arts anymore? - 48 hills

Both of those ideas were torpedoed when I read this article about Daniel Lurie's's 31 hand-picked avatars meant to reshape San Francisco's charter (and we all know that his picks never result in any blunders). I looked at this 31-faced cavalcade of (mostly) capitalists and thought it only slightly less oligarch-ish than his onboarding team from last year. Sure, this one doesn't have Sam Altman, but this one's so nakedly appealing to business interests that it doesn't need Altman.

I want to talk about architecture for a moment - specifically residential architecture. In San Francisco. You expect to see stately Victorian homes with their bright colors and fancy decorative trim. Then there's Marina style homes with their big windows and stucco facades. But sprinkled in amidst these grander homes you might spot a few tiny cottages - the original tiny homes.
