Mayor Daniel Lurie is moving the tiny cabins formerly at 16th and Mission to a shelter site in the Bayview “for temporary storage.” D10 Supervisor Shamann Walton called the move a “bait and switch,” and noted that Mayor Lurie is not returning his calls.
Sheriff Paul Miyamoto‘s new chief of staff, John Ramirez, was cleared of wrongdoing after being investigated for shoving a protestor to the ground in 2020.
