The responses to this post below form a truly awesome list of recent #SF books! I have read and can highly recommend many of them, especially the books from Martha Wells, Becky Chambers, Ann Leckie…
Another *series* I very much enjoyed was the 20 books of the “Amaranthe” universe from G.S. Jennsen… it’s a fun and rich series:

I support the speed cameras - AND I wish #SFMTA would start reporting more complete statistics than "average speed" - because it's not the average that's the problem - its the frequency and speed at the tail end of the distribution. The average driver, going close to the speed limit, is not the high risk. It's the small percentage of drivers who drive much faster, the small pe…

SFMTA data: Drivers a lot slower around cameras
Pedestrian-safety advocates say “encouraging” findings should prompt more action.

One battle after another
A highway fight sparked Joel Engardio’s recall, but race and class conflicts sealed the deal

Excellent news. Greatly reduces the risk of displacement while still upzoning the west side.

SF has so many parking lots and other soft sites especially on the westside, we should be building housing there instead of demolishing rent-controlled homes. But #SB79 offers few protections & none for rent-controlled duplexes. Sign this petition to amend the bill to fix this!

Amend SB 79 to Protect Tenants and Communities
SB 79 puts thousands of rent-controlled homes and small businesses in San Francisco at risk by allowing demolition without strong affordability requirements or local oversight. It overrides years of community planning and opens the door to displacement in working-class neighborhoods across San Francisco. Sign the petition to demand smart, equitable amendments that protect tenants, preserve local plans, and ensure transit-oriented development works for everyone.

Well, it’s public: Mayor Lurie has announced that he’s letting Uber and Lyft onto car-free Market Street along with Waymo, something he has no authority to do. The Transportation Code clearly doesn’t allow it. These companies are treating our billionaire mayor as above the law. #sfPol
