Good morning!

Did you hear there’s a Muslim woman with a gun at the zoo? Well, not really. We chat with one of the city’s click-bait posters, FriscoLive415, who chases after police scanners with his bikemounted camera and reports unverified rumors immediately.

San Francisco wants to put a $300 million bond on the March ballot to help pay for at least some affordable housing. California says the city’s supposed to build 82,000 homes in the next eight years โ€” at least half of them affordableโ€” and is nowhere near that goal. The state, in a damning new report, said SF’s delays will lead to “dire consequences.

There’s a lot of Stuff to Do coming upโ€” Halloween, the Crosstown Trail, and Dia de los Muertos. Tomorrow evening, don’t miss Joe Eskenazi interviewing mayoral candidate Daniel Lurie at Manny’s. Get your tickets here!

More soon,

Sara
