It’s 7 a.m, 47° and headed to 58° and dryer. Details for the next 10 days are here.

The Municipal Transportation Agency rejected the appeal for an environmental review of the tech shuttle pilot program and it will go forward in July as planned with the city charging $1 a stop for the shuttles to use Muni stops. 

I’m unsure if I’m getting cranky or if food writing in SF hasn’t gotten simply silly. I understand promoting local restaurants and I like Marla Bakery — or at least the name and its sliver of a place at 613 York St. because I haven’t actually eaten anything there yet — but this praise in the SF Weekly just annoys me. “The Sunday Special breakfast sandwich at Marla Bakery executes on each of the aforementioned pieces with great technique and thought, resulting in a harmonious sandwich that sings to the stomach.”  Really?

Airbnb will be collecting taxes in San Francisco starting this summer, reports SFist. 

SFMTA’s Ed Reiskin recommends keeping the Sunday parking meters, but abstaining from enforcement, writes Streetsblog SF. 

Enjoy the day!

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.

  1. You sound cranky to me. You should really try the place out before indulging in opinions on the opinions of other journalists. Also it’s called Marla Bakery, not Marla’s Bakery.

    1. Very cranky.

      Marla’s sells cookies for $1 and I hear subsidized cookies at apple cafeteria are 1.25$. They also have excellent bread. This bakery is a new affordable business in an area where the price of sandwiches pushes 15$ at other new spots. They just need to extend their afternoon hours …

      So, you are punishing the business or the reviewer? Or just unhappy with the state of SF?
