Good afternoon! Here’s the latest:
It’s always helpful when Joe Eskenazi explains how the city actually works—for example, the difference between enterprise and general fund departments— when you’re trying to decode the rhetoric of a phrase like “hiring freeze.” Read what’s really going on with the Mayor’s plan.
We’ve got an intro interview with D4 Supervisor Joel Engardio, who’s currently facing a recall threat over his support for closing part of the Grerat Highway. See what he has to say about that, and why he wants to build more housing in the Sunset.
If you missed locals’ remembrances of groundbreaking chef Charles Phan, take a look. Lovely stories about a truly lovely man.
More soon,
Sara
