Today from Mission Local

Good afternoon!

Well, looks like a strike by SFUSD principals has been averted. Late last night, negotiators reached a tentative deal, and Wednesday’s rally at district headquarters has been called off in favor of a party. Read the details.

The tow trucks are coming for RVs starting this weekendโ€”but many RV dwellers say they’re still struggling with red tape to qualify for the city’s promised extension. Marina Newman looks into the city’s contradictory advice, changing rules, and maddening paperwork.

See our back story on how San Jose developed a different approach to RVsโ€”and how its program is thriving, at a fraction of S.F.’s cost.

Hey, remember the “Beast on Bryant” way back when? $500,000 for a community arts space was part of the final deal for the affordable housing project. But, reports Oscar Palma, the arts organization and a supervisor now allege that the money promised by developer Nick Podell hasn’t come through.

More soon,
