By comparison 2,499 new housing units were constructed in all of 2013, the mayor said. READ MORE.

Before we get to food, here’s some not-so-good news from Valley Wag on Twitter. It’s a pity Twitter’s not doing so well. There is something nice about keeping it short, but has anyone else ever noticed how if there is news, everyone tweets the same news, over and over again?

Okay, onto food and other things.

Croissants have now become fairly common in San Francisco and definitely in the Mission District. Inside Scoop SF calls it a boom. I’ve tried most except b. patisserie‘s and will do that soon. Does anyone out there have a favorite?

Here’s something from Muni Diaries for interior decorators — a Muni toilet seat for sale.

I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.

As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.

As founder and an editor at ML, I've been trying to figure out how to make my interest in local news sustainable. If Mission Local is a model, the answer might be that you - the readers - reward steady and smart content. As a thank you for that support we work every day to make our content even better.
