Good afternoon!
Want to be D4 supervisor? Mission Local obtained the 5-page questionnaire the Mayor’s office is sending out to applicants. In an only-in-San Francisco touch, applicants were asked whether they’d ever hired a permit expediter on their properties.ย
The Land Use committee of the S.F. Board of Supervisors approved a few state-supported amendments to the city’s controversial upzoning plan, and tabled more sweeping attempts to exempt certain areas from development. Io Yeh Gilman explains what’s happeningโand what’s next.
The legacy business Bissap Baobab is closing its Mission Street venue after 28 years. The owner, Marco Senghor, is actively looking for a new location, and promises a farewell party for the neighborhood December 20.
For the back story, read about Senghor’s previous move from ‘Little Baobab’ to ‘Big Baobab.‘
More soon,
