Good morning!

Neighbors on Capp Street complained vociferously about sex work earlier this year, and the city put up traffic barriers. Now some residents of Shotwell Street say prostitution has moved to their blocks, and are agitating for more enforcement.

Are you ready for the holidays? That is, are you vaccinated against new strains of covid? People are traveling, vaccination rates are down–and Unidos en Salud reports a 24% covid positivity rate at its Capp and 24th St. location. Get your flu and new covid shots at the site on Fridays and Saturdays.

More soon,
