@sbuss I deleted it given this, I didn’t see that distinction spelled out, but I see it now

@jrivanob HOWEVER - this confusion doesn't persist for GDP since GDP is by definition a yearly flow. That *IS* aggregate, so over the 20 years we will lose out on over $4B in GDP.

San Francisco’s “Overpaid CEO tax” would bring in up to $300M/yr but cost 944 jobs & slow the economy, per a new city report.

@BrokeAssStuart Conversely I think we’re leaving a lot of ad dollars on the table!

@jrivanob Wow! Only 2% is earned income? Maybe I’m doing something wrong. Ours is like 60% earned or more.

I checked our CRM & unless he's donating under a sneaky alias, Dean Preston has given $0 to Mission Local.
We're not controlled by an invented progressive cabal. We list our donors here—all 3,300+ of them.
missionlocal.org/san-francisco-…
It's a broad group equal to 65% of our revenue.

San Francisco has long let neighbors block new housing by citing building shadows as an "environmental concern."
Supervisor Bilal Mahmood's new legislation would end that.

That's highly unusual—most nonprofit newsrooms rely far more on grant-giving—& it's good, it makes us sustainable, less reliant on any single source of funds.
Which is why we're asking for support from all our readers, all spring—please give if you can: mission-local.donorsupport.co/page/donate

Some news: Business Insider is undergoing a staff reduction today. I’m told fewer than 5% of the newsroom is being affected. Here’s the note, from Editor-in-Chief Jamie Heller

Mission District shops have yet to recover from the pandemic, but one corridor is leading the way.

It sounds like there's good reason to be skeptical of the sudden/dramatic shift in San Francisco's unsheltered homeless count
There's obviously many more homeless people on the streets at night. Mayor Lurie's admin changed the methodology to conduct the count in the morning
The San Francisco Standard@sfstandard
Mayor Daniel Lurie announced that San Francisco has recorded its lowest count of unsheltered residents in 15 years. Yet, this year's Point in Time count was conducted differently than past years, making it hard to compare data. 📝: @McLaughlinnews sfstandard.com/2026/05/12/san…

To put a finer point on this, many people who sleep in cars are gone in the morning. People who sleep in doorways and alcoves are often gone in the morning
Why is Mayor Lurie's administration glossing over the difference between a homeless count taken at night vs. the morning?
