Good morning!
Five residents of Shotwell St., upset about sex workers coming to their street after bollards closed off Capp St., filed a lawsuit against the city. Their complaints—including “general ruckus” and “loud music”—might not hold up in court, but they got a response from Mayor London Breed and Supervisor Hillary Ronen, who said they’ll install barricades on Shotwell, too. We’ll let you know how that goes: As we reported in April, the barricades have turned Capp into a parking lot.
More street workers: 78-year-old Raymundo Jimenez gets up at 4 a.m every day to make churros that he brings to the Mission and sells from his cart. Jimenez says he’s perfected his cinnamon-sugar recipe, and that “I’m happy, and while the rich get rich, I get happy.”
While the rich get rich, we follow the money. Here’s a fun fact from our compilation of recent campaign finance filings: Quinn Delaney, a millionaire philanthropist who once opposed the recall of DA Chesa Boudin, switched teams to become a solid London Breed supporter, and just gave $50,000 to a pro-Breed PAC.
