AskMeSF is my passion project to spark positivity in SF! ✨ Tell me, what's your SF question? Good vibes only pls 🙏askmesf.com #buildinpublic #buildingpublic (TIL from @TheIshanGoswami)

If you're visiting SF and only pack shorts and a t-shirt, you're going to have a bad time. Mark Twain may not have actually said "the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco" but he should have. askmesf.com/what-is-sf-wea…

The #1 question I get from people moving to SF: "what neighborhood should I live in?" Every neighborhood has a completely different personality. Here's the breakdown: askmesf.com/best-neighborh…

I go to Golden Gate Park 1-2x a month and I'm still discovering new things. Lakehouse Jazz on Friday nights might be my favorite date night in the city. Here's my full local's guide: askmesf.com/golden-gate-pa…

SF is genuinely turning a corner. AI funding hit $122B in 2025, office leasing is up 62.8%, and crime is at a 23-year low. I wrote about what's actually changed (and what still needs work). askmesf.com/sf-comeback-20…

@DannySauter @scsherrill agreed but also other major streets like Ocean Avenue

Van Ness is an important avenue that we cannot continue to ignore. Faster transit has been a big success but we need to do more to fill empty storefronts and keep streets clean. @scsherrill and I are focused on improving Van Ness.

@DanielleMorrill welcome back! in case it is helpful to you i made a site on sf :) askmesf.com

I’m moving to SF in April

i will say that gen z is composed of radically talented outsized individuals or complete vegetables and basically nothing in-between. this is clearly the result of the internet and i could not expect this trend doing anything other than accelerating with ai.

Don't wait for a better SF to magically appear. if it does, great, but the wheels of gov. move way too slowly for me. here's what we all can do to immediately improve the city, sans bureaucratic hoops. 1. Get dressed up in your fanciest clothes 2. Pick up and throw away trash 3. Shop in person 4. Eat in restaurants 5. Drink in bars and cafes 5. Work from the office 6. Go to the movies, theater and museums 7. Visit other neighborhoods 8. Pay the bus fare when you ride 9. Interact with people, from neighbors to visitors 10. Call the police or 311 when you need something addressed 11. Attend Board of Supervisors meetings and add your voice to the comments sfbos.org/regularly-sche… this is just my list. agree or disagree, that's fine. what would you add?

@EricaJSandberg @DannySauter @Walgreens no, he is not claiming credit. i was really hoping he had magical persuasion skills for the rest of the 11 stores, particularly the one on Ocean Ave ☹️

did district supervisor @DannySauter really have some magical persuasion abilities in the decision? I have my doubts. per @Walgreens, this is was about money. "We are conducting an ongoing analysis of the financial performance of every Walgreens store. After review of the current financial performance at this location, we are pleased to confirm our commitment to continuing operations at this store."

JUST IN: Polk Street Walgreens gets a Hail Mary. read for more about how the Board of Supervisors are suddenly interested in keeping the drug stores around. (hint: they're missing the important part of the equation) thevoicesf.org/just-in-polk-s…

🌪️🌊🔥🫨 Are YOU prepared?? In light of the recent warnings and sadly the LA fires, I put together a recommendation guide for emergency preparedness in SF. Got questions or tips? Let me know! askmesf.com/emergency-in-s…

@sfstandard @Walgreens @leahygarrett @DanielLurie @sfbos

Just in: @Walgreens will close a dozen locations around the city at the end of February. — @leahygarrett sfstandard.com/2025/01/08/wal…

Woah, only 1 week left to check out the SF Great Dickens Christmas Fair! Check out my write up here on whether it's worth going to or not 🎩 askmesf.com/great-dickens-…

“I want to make sure that San Franciscans can say with pride, ‘I’m from San Francisco’” - @DanielLurie ❤️ 🌁

@daniel_s_larson oo where?

Next level- 5 stars.

@karpathy @GrowSF here is my take on an explainer starting point for sf elections: askmesf.com/whats-up-with-…

Voting season is upon us! For those living in SF / Bay Area, each time I recommend the @GrowSF voting guide as a great starting point for the local elections - it is long, detailed, educational, and sensible. O(~hundreds) of votes matter on local elections growsf.org/voter-guide/

@SantiagoPombo @sfchronicle @GrowSF very true! also tried to create a helpful and hopefully neutral guide here: askmesf.com/whats-up-with-…

Fellow SF residents, don’t know who or what to vote for in our local elections? Here are 2 useful tools to help you find the best matches: 1) @sfchronicle quiz 2) @GrowSF voter guide votecompass.sfchronicle.com growsf.org/voter-guide/

@villi @GrowSF if you're new to SF check out my sf politics overview here :) askmesf.com/whats-up-with-…

SF people, please take a look at the @growsf guide before you vote. It is a great resource from people working hard to make SF the best city in the world.

@emissionite agreed! and check out my sf politics overview here askmesf.com/whats-up-with-…

Choose wisely, vote rationally, vote now.

@SusanDReynolds @TheMarinaTimes indeed, we are all entitled to our own opinions! I tried to write up a neutral guide to SF politics and would love your thoughts askmesf.com/whats-up-with-…

Grow SF are newbies who shouldn’t do endorsements if they expect everyone to agree. Check out @TheMarinaTimes endorsements, which have been 98% accurate for over a decade. And if you disagree, I won’t block you 🙄👇marinatimes.com/marina-times-c…

San Franciscans! Are you overwhelmed by this year's ballot? I made a hopefully neutral guide to help you be informed! askmesf.com/whats-up-with-…
