A San Francisco Supervisor wants to amend a landmark surveillance law so it is harder to sue police when they spy on you illegally. Police are not above the law and this policy change will result in one thing: more illegal surveillance. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/10/hey-san-francisco-there-should-be-consequences-when-police-spy-illegally

Yikes: SF's Bicycle Advisory Committee is proposed for deletion by the streamlining task force. missionlocal.org/2025/10/sf-pr

Prop. E was supposed to rein in S.F. mayor’s power. Instead, it’s recommending the opposite.
People who campaigned for Proposition E, which created the task force, now say that it has gone off the rails.

Breath of fresh air to see how Gary McCoy’s public safety platform emphasizes mental health services and community violence prevention over the usual drumbeat of cops cops cops. 👏

Joe Eskenazi's @… column today speculates that Connie Chan and allies will run a doomed prop to close Sunset Dunes park, just to turn out voters for Chan.
But a good chunk of No on K voters are in congressional district 15, outlined, and can't vote for Chan. #sfpol<…

Map of Prop K vote share by precinct across San Francisco, with an outline around an area of the city's interior along its southern border, containing the Oceanview, Outer Mission, Excelsior, Portola, and Visitacion Valley neighborhoods. All but one precinct in that area majority opposed K, and it includes about one-quarter of all the areas that opposed K.

And then there were three: The race to succeed Nancy Pelosi takes shape
A rock 'em, sock 'em campaign seems ready to ensue in San Francisco's first competitive congressional race since 1987

Shameful how the SF government has let the Turk protected bike lane, once a success story, degrade. #sfpol

Flex post-separated bike lane blocked completely by an SUV. There is a line of SUVs in the lane in front of that one.
