Good afternoon!
Oh no, it’s trashmageddon! The Tenderloin Community Benefit District installed 76 high-end solar-powered trash cans in 2020—but now city funding for them is gone, and it’s not clear where new bins will come from. Eleni Balakrishnan dives into the whole DPW-CBD-OEWD-SF-trash-can mess.
More trash: Lydia Chávez visits the pile of discarded furniture in front of the La Fénix apartments on Mission, where neighbors are looking for treasures.
Honestly, what was Sheriff Paul Miyamoto thinking when he endorsed one of the wackiest right-wing zealots running for CA governor? Joe Eskenazi talks with baffled politicos, and explores what the consequences could be for the S.F. sheriff’s department.
Don’t miss Joe Eskenazi tomorrow at Manny’s, discussing the politics of local recall elections, and what they mean for governing. Tuesday August 5, 7:30PM, tickets here.
More soon,
Sara
