Good afternoon!
Chinese voters will be a force in tomorrow’s recall election of D4 Sup. Joel Engardio, who infuriated many by backing the closure of the Great Highway. Junyao Yang explains the growing political power of Chinese home- and car-owners in the Sunset.
What happened to the promised $750 million state loan to prevent the collapse of Bay Area transit? Well, what happened to governance? Joe Eskenazi analyzes the case of Gavin Newsom, the S.F. mayor turned CA governor turned internet meme running for president.
Given how much chaos the economy faces, our city may suffer a relatively small impact from the Trump tariffs. The controller reports that tariffs will lead to just over 1.6 % fewer S.F. jobs in the next 20 years.
Many Mission Local readers who’ve been following our coverage of ICE arrests and protests have asked how they can support immigrants’ rights. Sage Rรญos Mace has a resource guide for getting involved.
More soon,
