There was a horrific crash in San Francisco last month. A 78-year-old woman driving a Mercedes SUV crashed into a bus stop where a family of four were waiting as they took a trip to the zoo. The tragic crash happened on March 16 while the family was on the way to the zoo and […]
John has written some excellent pieces on the trouble the Bay Area Rapid Transit System (BART) is in. Perhaps one of the reasons it is doing so poorly–ridership is less than 50% of what it was pre-pandemic–is that the people running the system are, to put it kindly, insane. Workers are clocking in without doing […]
As I described a few days ago, residents and business owners in San Francisco have come up with their own plan for dealing with tent camps which crowd the sidewalks and sometimes even block access to doorways. Over the past few years, they have installed heavy steel planters on the sidewalks. The planters weigh up […]
Did I say that activists in San Francisco were upset about people blocking the sidewalk? No, that can’t be right. What the activists are upset about is “planters” blocking the sidewalk.

And the SF Standard has come to the same conclusion: Famously liberal San Francisco appeared to lurch to the right Tuesday, or at least move closer to the center, as frustrated voters approved two key […]
As most readers already know, the entire western US has been dealing with a growing homeless problem for years. That problem has been exacerbated by a couple of court decisions issued by the 9th Circuit (whose decisions only apply to western states). The two decisions, Boise and Grants Pass, both found that municipalities do not […]
Yesterday I wrote about the announcement that Macys was closing about a third of its stores including the flagship store in San Francisco.
