Good afternoon!
What happens when inclusionary housing requirements drop, and developers’ agreements with community groups end? Oscar Palma looks at the changing landscape of development in the Mission through the case of a 152-unit project on Florida Street.
The husband of Alberto Rangel, the social worker killed last year at S.F. General Hospital, is suing the city, alleging that the city knew the exact time Rangelโs alleged attacker said he would appear. Frankie Solinsky Duryea reports on the alleged security failures.
Mayor Daniel Lurie has promoted his charter reform measures D, E and F as taking on a status quo of corruption and government waste at City Hall. So how does that square with the fact that he runs City Hall? Read about who’s bankrolling charter reformโand if it can win this timeโ in our comprehensive guide to BigMoneySF.
And Junyao Yang asks: Is the Inner Sunset the new North Beach? Read the Sunset Buzz.
More soon,
