A new Bay Area wide investigation highlights a problem we've been sounding the alarm on for the last year: corporate-owned “zombie” grocery stores sitting vacant while communities lose access to affordable groceries. This is exactly why I proposed legislation to tax long-vacant corporate grocery stores and incentivize them to reopen or make way for a new grocer. Unfortunately, that proposal was blocked before it could even receive a hearing and vote before the full Board of Supervisors. The fight isn’t over. We’ll keep pushing for policies that expand grocery access, increase accountability, and help eliminate food deserts. sfgate.com/food/article/a…

@ArmandDoma Clearly someone is dreadfully unaware of Being John Malkovich risk. Thank goodness San Francisco errs on the side of abundant caution.

When a friend in San Francisco says, “Hey I just got something I think you might like to see.” He was so right! It’s a Trabant 601S, originally from Hungary, and it’s about as minty as any Trabant can ever be.

Owning this will get me frog-marched off YIMBY Island, but… oh well. Found it in the free pile at a local dive bar, and it’s fascinating.

A tax on vacant grocery stores proposed by Bilal Mahmood polls well: 61 percent approve. But it may not make it to the ballot after Connie Chan said it was not ready and decided not to schedule a hearing for it. via @io_y_g missionlocal.org/2026/07/sf-vac…

San Francisco's downtown mall appeared to have a buyer but the deal fell apart during due diligence. It's a hard building to reuse for another purpose and most retailers are more interested in being on the street in 2026 vs on an upper floor of an indoor mall 1/3

@naveen it's important we have cars that feel fun but not at high speed. The industry has dumbly made all 'interesting' cars way too fast.

@regularcars No, I’ve said this too, but as an R32 owner. It’s a Mustang, without the winga-dinga stigma

2000 Nissan Skyline R34, the Japanese Mustang. We've said it before, but Skylines to Japan are what Mustangs are to America.

@sfstandard @ggreschler San Francisco’s DSA takeover occurred a few years ago, it resulted in a dysfunctional shitshow, and then we got rid of (most) of them. NYC is about to learn a very important lesson. Just wait…

@Nowooski why do you think this is about me? Is it because you don't know any artists, musicians, poets, or cooks here?

For a fleeting moment, I was thrilled to see Mayor Lurie is at last celebrating @NJGov. But alas...

“Om was never impressed by who someone was, what they’d previously accomplished, what grand wealth they’d garnered, or stature they’d achieved. It’s human nature to be overwhelmed by awe in the presence of great people. Om was not. To impress Om, you needed to deliver impressive new work. He was impervious to riptides of hype. Those are superpowers in this racket.”
