Well, Joe Rivano Barros reports that San Francisco’s Sunshine Ordinance Task Force unanimously voted that Mayor Daniel Lurie may have violated the law by withholding records of his call last year with President Donald Trump. The mayor continues to insist the records fall under attorney-client privilege.

Xueer Lu has a field guide to who’s who around 16th and Mission, where three city departments and two contracted groups, each with its own uniform, have deployed street teams to address homelessness, addiction, and mental health.
