Good afternoon!
Disgraced former DBI senior building inspector Bernie Curran was sentenced today to a year and a day in prison, and ordered to pay restitution. He wept as his lawyers asked for leniency.
Review the strange and terrible saga of Bernie Curran with Joe Eskenazi, who looks at some of the oddities revealed by the federal case, and what the impact might be on DBI leadership, the city, and “Developer 1.”
The Planning Commission has approved a controversial ordinance that would allow developers to jumpstart stalled projects by including significantly fewer affordable units. Even so, the new rules would most likely boost condo construction, not the development of rental housing.
There’s lots of stuff to do this weekend: Double Vision Thrift‘s pop-up sale, aerosol art in Precita Park, and the “Queen of Mariachi” at the SF Symphony. Enjoy the warm weather!
More soon,
Sara
