Good afternoon!

A lot of politics today. Joe Eskenazi writes that D6’s Matt Dorsey, the “Recovery Supervisor,” is attacking S.F.’s permanent supportive housing as “drug-tolerant,” and looking for ways to make the city require sober-only housing. See Joe’s analysis of how this enrages YIMBYs, and complicates the already complicated funding mechanisms for supportive housing.

And a new poll of English-speakers commissioned by Saikat Chakrabarti puts him just five points behind Scott Weiner, with Connie Chan trailing, in the race to succeed Nancy Pelosi in Congress. Yujie Zhou looks at the numbers and the money.

Over in the Richmond, Maria C. Ascarrunz reviews Kitchen Istanbul, a Turkish restaurant that’s a favorite of neighborhood chefs on their nights off.

Hey, don’t miss Mission Local’s forum on the state of the San Francisco economy, with controller Greg Wagner and chief economist Ted Egan. It’s this Wednesday at 6PM at Manny’s, and reporter Io Yeh Gilman will moderate and ask questions. Reserve nowโ€” ticket sales end soon.

More soon,
