Good afternoon!

We’ve got another amazing, must-read data story from Will Jarrett: a deep dive into the largest SF budget ever. If you’d like to understand exactly where 14.6 billion goes, explore his eye-opening breakdown of budget, add-backs, discretionary spending and revenue.

DA Jenkins has dropped charges of inciting a riot and failure to disperse for almost all the over-18 arrestees in the Dolores Street skateboard “hill bomb.” But the office is continuing investigations into other crimes like vandalism and assaults against officers. A class action lawsuit on behalf of everyone arrested is underway.

Can’t we all just get along? Apparently not. The heated dispute between Mission Greenway gardeners and the local ISP Monkeybrains over theย hotly contested Parcel 36ย continues to rumble on, with dueling restraining orders, appearances at the Board of Appeals, and dates in court.

Enjoy the weekend. And if you go to El Rio, check out their bathrooms.

More soon,

Sara
