It is 7 a.m., 55° with promises to climb to 71°. The weekend looks good. Details for the next ten days are here.

The SFMTA is meeting this morning at 10 a.m. about the proposed tech shuttle stops. SF Gate reports that some drivers will be upset about the temporary or permanent loss of some street parking. 

Mother Jones has a piece on coding and the numbers. Essentially, the numbers of jobs are going up and the number of graduates down. It does seem counter-intuitive since it feels like everyone we meet is studying coding, including our last Sidecar driver.

And, We Built This City caught the Kafana Balkan band practicing in Dolores Park.

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.
