Tesla, Elon Musk's electric vehicle company, has abandoned plans to operate an autonomous vehicle fleet charging station in Jackson Square, a rare sign of AV encroachment being rebuffed in San Francisco. A few months ago, the project looked likely to happen. On Nov. 13, the San Francisco Planning Commission granted Tesla conditional use authorization to convert a public parking garage at 825 Sansome St. into a part-public, part-private structure that would house electric vehicle charging stations. The plans included chargers for a fleet of autonomous vehicles.

According to Creely, an eyewitness said the driver of a grey Toyota Crown XLE had run a red light, causing the crash. The witness also told Creely that he spoke to the driver of the Toyota, who, after exiting the vehicle, said that he had crashed his car and asked to borrow a sweater. He was told no and then allegedly fled the scene on foot down 22nd Street toward Florida Street.

San Franciscans will descend upon Dolores Park on Friday afternoon to join the "ICE Out" walkouts and protest taking place in dozens of cities across the country today. Organizers are hoping to replicate the success of a "general strike" that took place on Jan. 23 in Minneapolis, when hundreds of businesses shut down and thousands of people filled the streets to lambast Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

For 50 years, the non-profit MCCLA at 25th and Mission has run arts programming from the four-story building it leased from the city for a dollar a year. The Arts Commission has also given them funding, with the expectation that they will raise more funds from donors, classes and events. This month, however, the Mission Cultural Center ran out of money and on Jan. 26 it closed indefinitely.

Following recent violent events in Minneapolis, a San Francisco bakery is selling cookies with anti-ICE messages on them, alongside Valentine's cookies with traditional Valentine's heart candy abbreviations on them.

And, all proceeds from the sale of the cookies is going to Community Action Network Minnesota.

And the city that topped the ranking for the sixth year in a row is San Francisco. "[...] even though the area's monthly housing costs are three times higher than the U.S. median ($2,693 compared to $943 nationally)," the report notes, the city "excels in other metrics, especially health, boasting excellent access to health care, universal access to exercise opportunities, and low smoking rates."

SF's 30-year-old Drug Court was intended for non-violent drug offenders to avoid jail for low-level drug crimes. But now people with pretty violent charges are sneaking in, and Supervisor Matt Dorsey ain't happy about it. San Francisco's Drug Court was established in 1995, and is meant as a diversion program so that low-level drug offenders can avoid normal court and jail, and instead get "services in the community designed to get them out of their drug and crime situations.

The Lower Pacific Heights Victorian at 1709 Broderick Street, which served as the façade of the Tanner's ' Full House ' home, has just sold for $4 million. Designed by Charles Lewis Hinkel and built in 1883, the home previously traded hands for $1.85 million in 2006, after which it was renovated, remodeled and expanded (down) to encompass 2,985 square feet of finished living space and a gate was added to keep the Full Housians, and Uncle Jesse, away from the repainted front door.

PARK CITY, UTAH - San Francisco may be one of the most cinematic cities in the world, but it isn't necessarily the easiest place to film a movie. Or is it? This year's Sundance Film Festival saw two breakout hits that filmed in the city: "Josephine," which was filmed fully in SF, and "The Invite," which spent two days in the city on location. Along with the recent filming of "Artificial" and 2024's "Man on the Inside," there's a growing mound of evidence that despite popular belief, San Francisco can be a welcome place for filmmakers.

District 5 Supervisor Bilal Mahmood is calling for more transparency at the San Francisco Mayor's Office of Housing after he discovered that the department had "lost track" of about $5 million sitting in an account waiting to be used for an affordable housing project in the Tenderloin. The city approved a development project with 85 affordable housing units at 101 Hyde St., a former post office, in 2015. The city approved a development project with 85 affordable housing units at 101 Hyde St., a former post office, in 2015. The building has been in the city's possession for nearly as long: Shorenstein Properties bought the site in 2016 and gave it to the city that year in a deal to fulfill its affordability requirements for a separate project.

Were it not for a last-minute reversal by President Trump, brokered in secret by a couple of billionaires and SF's mayor, San Francisco and Oakland could have easily descended into the same violent chaos, provoked by an ICE invasion, that we're seeing in Minneapolis. The Trump administration has, since Trump took office this second shameful time, been working their way down a list of enemy states and cities where federal agents have been sent in on a draconian mission
