Good afternoon!
Okay, so now DoorDash wants to test delivery drones at a Folsom Street site. Kelly Waldron writes that the Teamsters are pushing back.
Mayor Daniel Lurie will release weekly reports on how the tech firm OpenGov is overhauling the cityโs permitting systemโa contract it won despite its high cost and poor reviews from city staff. Yujie Zhou and Io Yeh Gilman interview policy chief Ned Segal.
For back story, see our reporting on the controversial contract with OpenGov.
Yujie Zhou and Junyao Yang have the epic story of a Chinese woman who escaped an abusive family, won asylum, became a U.S. citizenโand then had her life upended when her partner was arrested by ICE.
Excellent reporting from the S.F. immigration court by Margaret Kadifa, who explains how government lawyers are attempting to send non-Honduran asylum-seekers to Honduras, ostensibly to pursue their cases from there.
More soon,
