Opinion: Opposition might keep a prime retail space from being filled. It's another example of the city's out-of-control kvetchocracy. 📝: Adam Lashinsky sfstandard.com/opinion/2025/0…

NIMBYs are blocking Nordstrom from opening a tiny concept store in a Fillmore storefront that’s been empty since before the pandemic. How? Peskin passed a law in 2006 giving them the power to do it. We have to undo everything Peskin did to freeze San Francisco in amber.

San Francisco employs more city workers per resident than any major U.S. city, yet struggles with service delivery. A recent audit reveals inefficiencies and overbudgeting, prompting calls for reform. thevoicesf.org/san-franciscos…

“This points to a system where sheer size has replaced efficiency — and where bloat is protected, even when outcomes suffer.” thevoicesf.org/san-franciscos…

“They say they respond to between three and five overdoses every week on the streets surrounding the church.” This does not belong 600 feet from a school or in a residential neighborhood. Come ON ⁦Daniel Lurie 丹尼爾·羅偉⁩ 🤦🏻‍♀️ missionlocal.org/2025/05/sf-nei…

A private citizen made a more efficient way for people to report non-emergency issues to the city, and now City of San Francisco (budget: $16B) is complaining that it’s creating too much work for bureaucrats.

“Those living on our streets who are committing crimes, whether violent or quality of life, don’t belong in our shelters; they belong in our justice system or treatment centers until they are ready to rejoin the community.” mercurynews.com/2025/05/26/cle…

Here's detail on #SFUSD Grading for #Equity plan briefly discussed @ tonite's #school board meeting. Coming to 14 high schools in August. Homework, attendance not counted toward academic grade. Scrutiny needed. thevoicesf.org/grading-for-eq… SF Parents #SFKidsCantWait The Voice of San Francisco Garry Tan Liz4SF

'Were it not for an intrepid school board member, the drastic change in grading with implications for college admissions and career readiness would have gone unnoticed and unexplained' thevoicesf.org/grading-for-eq…

“Grading for Equity de-emphasizes the importance of timely performance, completion of assignments, and consistent attendance.” 🤦🏻‍♀️ thevoicesf.org/grading-for-eq…

Just in: SFUSD is delaying a planned “grading for equity” initiative after the proposal sparked furious backlash. 📝: Han Li 李晗 sfstandard.com/2025/05/28/sfu…

Doubt it. SFUSD needs to get its activist teachers and staff in line. Students are there to learn, not to be indoctrinated.

The school board recall removed political extremists ... but extremism seems alive and well within the SFUSD bureaucracy that's now operating in the shadows ... avoiding board and public scrutiny required by law. Dr. Maria Su what's your plan to ensure this is vetted & approved?

The most active poster in the SF government employee subreddit wants to recall the mayor for asking them to do their jobs. SF's bureaucracy is a bloated 37k for a population of 809k. That's >100% larger than comparable city-counties.
