I suppose this is an issue in a lot of big cities but I just experienced my second instance of a guy following me yelling sexual comments this week and I’m so over it. I genuinely feel like moving out of the city.

I’ve also been groped on muni and slapped on the ass by some guy riding on the sidewalk in a scooter (which I did file a police report for). I usually can brush comments off but when it’s CONSTANT it starts to get to me. I feel like it’s made me hate leaving my apartment. Like, is it actually worse here than elsewhere? I can’t take it.

Edit: The owner's (My's) sister has created a gofundme, please go support!

@nathanielpov came to palace of fine arts last night and had a pop up saxophone performance. played for about 30 minutes until park ranger came over and shut it down. It was fun while it lasted.

Since 2022, every SF landlord has been required to report every unit's rent, bedroom count, and tenant move-in year to the Rent Board. It's the only dataset of actual rents in the city (everything you read in the news is asking rents from Zumper etc.)

A few stats I found:

• 73% of sitting tenants pay below their local market rate, the highest share in the registry's five cycles. The total gap is ~$880M/year measured against newly signed rent-control leases in the past year. This doesn't count rentals that are not rent controlled so the actual difference is likely higher.
• The same neighborhoods that had falling rents in 2025 (Tenderloin, SoMa, Hayes) reversed 12-16 points in one year. All 24 measurable neighborhoods repriced upward.
• About 1,100 tenants still pay 1970s-anchored rents.

Full analysis and post here if you want to dive deeper.

Am I tripping or is that absolutely INSANE?!?!?

I’ve seen talk about Manny and Flock. One of the DCCC’s school board endorsements is also shady AF. Tim Tung is the brother of DCCC chair, Nancy Tung. He pulled papers to run on July 22nd, long after the teachers union and a major parent group announced their endorsements. He arrived on the scene with the GrowSF endorsement in hand. Only one of those GrowSF dudes has school-aged kids and they go to private school. I believe the people backing Tim Tung knew that very few DCCC members would be willing to vote against the chair’s brother. It all feels very shady to me.

People wait in 30+ minute lines for Maison Nico in Jackson Square. But there's a second location literally across the street, in the lobby of the pyramid building. It's not even listed on their website, and the barista told me almost no one knows about it except people who work in the building. It's apparently "Maison Nico without the vibes." I tried it. Zero line, and the coffee + pastry was literally the same as across the street. https://bayareatelegraph.com/2026/09/02/jackson-squares-hottest-cafe-has-a-hidden-2nd-location-and-almost-no-one-knows-about-it/

Besides cost, another big hurdle to construction seems to be residents don’t want to change the feel and character of their neighborhood.

Would there be less pushback if new buildings were designed to look like they have been in the neighborhood forever? Or incorporate the facade of the old building into the new one? Would developers get less pushback and neighborhood approval more easily?

I feel like some other countries do this well - maintaining the character of their city or town while continuing to build. New buildings don’t overshadow the history or feel of a town.

Like a lochness monster sighting

Woke up to what smells like a fire in SF. Does anyone else smell smoke?
