I'm leaving this city in good shape, Adams said. More jobs than in the city's history. Our children are outpacing the state in reading and math. We've built more housing. We've zoned the city to build 426,000 units of housing. We've made the city safer both above ground and below ground. You don't see encampments along our highways and streets like you see in other cities.

Chief Floyd Mitchell has sought to loosen the restrictions over the past year, with encouragement from Gov. Gavin Newsom, who agrees that the policy limits the Oakland Police Department's ability to track down suspects soon after crimes have occurred.

Daniel Lurie and the SFPD held a press conference Monday to toot their horns over a crackdown on dangerous stunt driving of dirt bikes, but the four arrests seems like a drop in the bucket given the huge groups we typically see doing this.

The list includes restoring mandatory minimum sentencing for serious crimes and removing bail availability for offenders charged with murder, terrorism, human trafficking, intimate partner violence, drug trafficking, criminal possession or use of restricted or prohibited firearms and violent carjackings and home invasions.

On Friday morning, all that remained of the sprawling homeless encampment on Manhattan Place was a giant pile of trash and items former occupants had made their home. The encampment, on a vacant lot in Koreatown, existed for months. It was home to roughly 10 people and drew repeated complaints from neighbors in nearby apartments and condos. They said the homeless neighbors there were noisy, aggressive and posed a fire risk when they broke into an adjacent streetlight to steal power from the grid.

While there are plenty of wild swimming spots within an hour's travel of London, it seems like local authorities want more to be done to encourage outdoor recreational swimming closer to home. As it stands, there are just eight safe places to swim in natural bodies of water around London, such as London's Royal Docks and Hampstead Heath. However, none of them are in local rivers amid broader health and safety concerns over water quality.
