criminals don’t belong in cage!

@garrytan @kane SFO should live up the name of sf as a hub for innovation

SFO approved Waymo — then buried it at the Rental Car Center. Meanwhile, Uber and Lyft run 800K trips/month from the main garage. Zero safety rationale. Pure incumbent protection. gli.st/kftxyzj8

@Ryandoofy That’s what keeps SF what it is. No need for ugly vacant big box buildings.

A decade apart in San Francisco, California 🇺🇸

@DavidSacks @GrowSF They operate as vultures, tapping into dissatisfaction while perpetuating same old policies

Think twice before giving @GrowSF money — they might denounce you for it.

@JennyChachan Shopkeepers need to learn not to position their business in front of our crazy lawless drivers.

today, a car plowed into a restaurant in san francisco's chinatown the city decided to give them a violation notice and assessed them a fee hours later

@KenjiCapital Only a block from stolen goods market…yay!

For decades this corner in the Mission District has been… a parking lot. Now it could become 35 apartments in an 8-story flatiron-style building just a block from the 24th Street BART Station. Small site. Transit-rich location. Long overdue housing. 📍San Francisco

@LuigiCPA @AT415287548 @KenjiCapital Actually there’s more demand for parkings than condos

@KenjiCapital There is no demand for more condos in SF. People want single family homes. You're just talking your book. If Newsom allowed homeowners to transfer their property tax AND not incur capital gains on the appreciation, you would more homes selling than the market could handle.

@linderps Finally a post that’s not trying to make fun of gf-less tech bros Thank you for being thoughtful

how to find a gf in sf: - dress nicely. no tech bro logos. style your hair, wear a nicely fitted tee, go to the gym - go where she goes. farmer's markets, coffee shops, dinner parties. get a sexy hobby - say hi. compliment her style, her bag, her hair. find out what she's doing there. dont bring up AI or agents lastly, don't give up. you don't find her by waiting, you find her by trying. good luck 🫶

@PabloPeniche You mean to build so we have all the vacant space like in the Powell?

We need to upscale the entire Richmond and the Sunset in SF to be 12 stories like the Flood Building on 80 Powell street.

@rohindhar Grocery Outlet and Foods co would be cheaper

San Francisco Chronicle analysis of the cost of a bundle of groceries at various grocery stores in the city Trader Joe’s is by far the least expensive and they didn’t raise their prices this year

@garrytan @FCNightingale This mall is a gem. Sad SF can’t get this to work.

@FCNightingale Clearly there are obvious reasons for why this happened but the legacy media is hell bent on claiming it is anything but that. garryslist.org/posts/mall-dea…

1/5 MALL The 1.5M SF San Francisco Centre mall, which closed late last month is for sale. Looking to sell for $100 million, a 92% drop from its valuation of $1.2 billion in 2016. CBRE’s Kyle Kovac and Mike Taquino, who are marketing the property, intend to sell it for at least $100 million, or about $67 per square foot. The lenders holding more than $691 million of debt on the defaulted San Francisco Centre mall at Fifth and Market streets took title to the giant property with a credit bid of $130.2 million last November in an outdoor foreclosure auction on Van Ness Avenue across from City Hall. -connectcre / San Francisco Examiner #commercialrealestate

@EricaJSandberg But what is going to happen to the mall? Does anyone know? Will they reopen?

My very strange experience at Manny’s last night “You can't report about the event tonight,” said Manny Yekutiel, leaning close to me. “You agree, right? I was seated in the front, laptop open, ready to take notes. The panel discussion, “Exploring Possibilities for the Westfield Mall, held at Manny’s Cafe, was to be an hour-long discussion about ideas for the now empty space. Ned Segal @nedsegal, SF’s Chief of Housing & Economic Development, and Lisa Huang, design director at @gensler_design, were set to speak. I was expecting, “well, we can do this and we can do that, what are your thoughts,” kind of thing, so I settled in. Tickets were $15, anyone could join, and the room was full. I’d been to many events at the space and reported about the majority. Nowhere on the event page was there a stipulation that people couldn’t share what they heard with the public, either with their friends, on social media, or in traditional media. Manny stared into my eyes. “You agree, right? Right?” I didn’t say anything. This had never happened before. “So no one can discuss or write about what we hear?,” I asked, completely baffled. “This is not a press event so you can’t report about it,” he repeated. I closed my laptop. So I sat there, and listened. Nothing earth shattering, the same information that had already been shared online and in various stories. If I were to write an article, it would be little more than, “The building is for sale, all reasonable ideas are being entertained but it’s up to the buyer. the end.” But now… why the secrecy?

This photo of reporter Han Li in Paris is San Francisco NIMBY’s worst nightmare. I think those 7 story apartment buildings with ground floor amenities next to a park would look quite nice in the Sunset :) Read more about Paris in the Sunset: engardio.com/blog/paris

@engineer09635 @JoelEngardio NEMS is a clinic not pharmacy Like Walgreens Like CVS

@SFcriminalright @JoelEngardio Like NEMS?

I was walking in SF’s Union Square and seeing all empty stores made me sad. I was wondering it would be great if there was a bookstore there to roam in. Suddenly I saw this new bookstore has opened there! It’s called the best bookstore and it’s a great addition to have.

@K70488824 @SelenaC10705 @amazon SF centre had great dining options too before closing.

@SelenaC10705 @SFcriminalright @amazon Stonestown also has all the new sit down Asian eateries so people go for eating as well as shopping.

Stonestown is packed today. This isn’t about “the internet killing retail.” SF downtown has real, fixable problems, let’s be honest about them.

@AlecMacGillis Amazon itself is rumored to be laying off as many as 30 thousand people next week

Nine years after "Democracy Dies in Darkness," here we are: Bezos readying devastating cuts while his successor attends a WH screening of "Melania" that Amazon gave Trumps $40 million for while Minneapolis reels under ICE killings. Thinking of my former Post colleagues.

@SelenaC10705 @amazon I’m joking!

@SFcriminalright @Amazon can tell you how busy they are with Westside deliveries. Overall, there’s a balance, and business is good because we care and take care of each other.

@rohindhar Is this all about single family houses or condos will rise too?

One thesis I have is that the San Francisco real estate, despite being extremely expensive Is still “cheap” relatively to the wealth created in the city by the AI boom in the city over the last couple of years Prices aren’t that different than 2019 and yet there is a totally different economic landscape Once OpenAI got traction, it was inevitable prices would start rising, and they did And there is Anthropic, Databricks and slew of others, all located in San Francisco. It’s very possible “you ain’t seen nothing yet”
