Samantha Emge, a 22-year-old S.F. State graduate, died in the Sunset shooting on Tuesday, according to the medical examiner's office. “Travelled, ate, built a table, and became a real adult in 2025,” she wrote in her 2025 Instagram recap. by @junyao98 missionlocal.org/2026/03/sf-sun…

@GSDOUBLEU Lurie's kid plays baseball. Hopefully he can get this across the line.

The Giants community fund is proposing a revamp of Crocker Park with newer baseball fields and dedicated dog parks. I love this, as someone who played baseball at Crocker as a youth, these diamonds are in desperate need of a remodel. Hope this gets done.

@LoveCodeTrade Comes back to unions again

San Francisco's Muni spends $4.94 per ride in FY2025. It recovers 67 cents from fares. Taxpayers cover the other $4.27 every time someone taps a Clipper card. Tokyo Metro handles 2.5 billion rides a year on zero taxpayer dollars and turns a profit. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 - 𝗠𝘂𝗻𝗶: $𝟳𝟴𝟬𝗠 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁 on 𝟭𝟱𝟴 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 in FY2025, fare revenue $𝟭𝟬𝟲𝗠 - 𝗧𝗼𝗸𝘆𝗼 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼: 𝟭𝟲𝟬% 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗯𝗼𝘅 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆, fares more than cover operations 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗼𝗸𝘆𝗼 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝘂𝗻𝗶 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 Japan's rail operators are private companies that go broke if they suck. Muni runs late, ridership drops, and the budget grows anyway. The money comes from taxpayers no matter what. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝘅 Muni faces a projected $𝟯𝟬𝟳𝗠 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝗙𝗬𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳 and wants new taxes to close it. The union funds the politicians who approve the labor contracts that grow the deficit that justifies the next tax increase. In Tokyo, bad service means bankruptcy. In San Francisco, it means a ballot measure. Privatizing Muni would fix this overnight. Change my mind.

@kane @MLNow @EskSF Public unions only benefit its members and make it 10x worst for everyone else - terrible services along with OT and pensions that are totally out of control leading to huge deficits and more taxes.

@MLNow @EskSF We should ban public sector unions.

@SFMTA_Muni Nearly half of the riders (46%) in the survey said they either experienced or saw harassment on Muni.

Muni customer satisfaction by the numbers: 🕐71% of riders rate trip time excellent/good. ⚡️64% rate frequency excellent/good 📈Year-over-year increases in both categories. Proactive service improvements are leading to the best ratings we've seen. Info at SFMTA.com/Satisfaction

@bilalmahmood Pandering to labor unions again. Same playbook, same machine.

The BUILD Act is about unity. Labor and business, standing together, on the same stage. And today, they did. Building trades. Carpenters. Plumbers. Electricians. The Chamber of Commerce. City Hall. United around one goal: jumpstarting housing, jobs, and affordability in San Francisco. The BUILD Act unlocks 50,000 stalled homes, puts thousands of union workers back on the job, and restores balance to our transfer tax in a revenue-neutral way. It also commits our city to delivering a real financing plan for affordable housing, something San Franciscans have been waiting on for years. This is how we move our city forward – together.

@EricaJSandberg Crazy that a supervisor candidate would ask that of you. Tells you everything you need to know.

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?

@garrytan Even though we had a proposition to bring back algebra, it wasn't binding. The school district is a joke. Graduation rates mean nothing.

SFUSD has decided to bring back Algebra as an elective, which means you won't be able to take Algebra in middle school AND Mandarin Chinese, you've got to choose. This district is 1/3 Asian American. This decision makes no sense, but that's SFUSD for ya sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

@SFdealmaker Thanks. Is the arrest data not available on a publicly accessible dashboard?

@puristdriver let me find some arrest data I get in my email and you subscribe to the same link.
