Good afternoon!
Immigrants with Temporary Protected Status have been told they can no longer legally work and live in the United States, though the case remains open in S.F. District Court. We talk with TPS holders about the impact on their Bay Area jobs, homes, and families.
City officials are upbeat about the boom in AI companiesโbut tenants are feeling the pinch as S.F. rents, and evictions, soar. Reporters Kelly Waldron and Oscar Palma look at the data.
Mayor Daniel Lurie announced that the state’s on-again, off-again $750 million emergency Bay Area transit loan is in play again, after tense negotiations with Governor Gavin Newsom.
The village of tiny cabins off 16th and Mission is closing so construction of affordable housing can begin. Neighbors who originally opposed the cabins have come to see them as positive, and wonder what’s next.
More soon,
Sara
