You used to hardly ever get wolves, and two at a time would have been unthinkable. Covid really HAS weakened your immune system. npub1t498940gdnzq9lza48c08kss09u6qxjryk9fa3a4lr4v087cn7cs4ug3v8 scott f @nprofile…jusd I treasured that Loving Hut for lunch breaks when I worked in an office at Market & 6th. Had been closed for years, though. It's a shame the nearby IKEA food hall's vegan options have dwindled to almost nothing through apparent mismanagement too. And Flying Falafel at Market & 7th closed a while back. npub1t498940gdnzq9lza48c08kss09u6qxjryk9fa3a4lr4v087cn7cs4ug3v8 scott f While the GoFundMe to support Renée Good's family raised $1.5 million, a GoFundMe for the family of Keith Porter, Jr., a Black man shot by an ICE agent a week earlier, hasn't met its $35,000 goal.

I'm sounding the alarm as loudly as I know how. But I feel like a Cassandra with how many urbanists won't see this. npub1t498940gdnzq9lza48c08kss09u6qxjryk9fa3a4lr4v087cn7cs4ug3v8 scott f @nprofile…zjv9 you're not kidding. goddammit https://www.texastribune.org/2025/12/11/henry-cuellar-house-appropriations-subcommittee-homeland-security-trump-pardon/ npub1t498940gdnzq9lza48c08kss09u6qxjryk9fa3a4lr4v087cn7cs4ug3v8 scott f I still have an SF YIMBY coffee mug from when I was a member, with the former slogan, "Legalize Housing."

It makes sense progressives are not going out of their way to canvass for a conservative. npub1t498940gdnzq9lza48c08kss09u6qxjryk9fa3a4lr4v087cn7cs4ug3v8 scott f @nprofile…mhl7 what do you mean?

He's done very little to win over progressives who preferred Gordon Mar, while losing the support of many moderate/conservative voters. So we should have an alternate plan for countering each "If Engardio gets recalled, then $BADTHING". @nprofile…0ftr npub1t498940gdnzq9lza48c08kss09u6qxjryk9fa3a4lr4v087cn7cs4ug3v8 scott f @nprofile…mhl7 @nprofile…uwy3 the "long-term" "New Sidewalks & Crosswalks" ought to fix it but it's true that the blue bar doesn't extend far enough east to get to the light.

Most people I’ve asked seem to think the era of that mattering that much is over, but someone at MEDA wasn’t sure. npub1t498940gdnzq9lza48c08kss09u6qxjryk9fa3a4lr4v087cn7cs4ug3v8 scott f I met a decadeslong Mission resident, a GenXer, earlier this year who was bemused by the idea there was such a thing as a “north Mission” and a “south Mission.” npub1t498940gdnzq9lza48c08kss09u6qxjryk9fa3a4lr4v087cn7cs4ug3v8 scott f @nprofile…a9hv I think this is the first time I've ever heard someone characterize SF politics as being about conflict *avoidance*.
