We're at the "show me your papers" stage.
Confirmed today: ICE is taking unhoused people who are unable to produce documents from the street to fulfill their quotas. People too poor to have any documentation on them, unable to prove where they come from.
A human rights disaster in the process.

700 new Craigslist ads for furnished rentals in SF, posted this weekend. All in houses/apts, not in short term rentals. Are we seeing the implosion of AirBnB in real-time?

Dayum, she has some fans! Here's her Gofundme. If you are able, throw her a few bucks so she can do this all the time. Or get a faster car 😉. Or bail money. Whatever she needs. I have no doubt that lots of people are free tonight because of her bravery.

Look. It’s an ICE raid in San Francisco today, that no local media covered.

I was looking at these commercial rentals in the Berkeley area. 73 of these spots have been vacant for over a year. 35 for over two years. Is anyone lowering the rent? Nope.
If you can afford to leave your spot vacant for a year, you can afford to lower the rent.

I called an ambulance for a guy today. He injured his back and couldn't help but scream when he moved. He didn't want to go. He's trying to save his boat on Richardson Bay. He's going to lose his home. He literally started weeping when he talked about it.

This apartment building met the bulldozer in Berkeley yesterday. The owner booted the tenants and let it sit vacant for 5 years during the worst of the housing crisis. The other picture is the owner's 24,422 square foot house in the priciest zip code around here.

Just get the fųck out already. Take all your misery and bad vibes and go.
I was talking to a friend in the Bay Area worth $20M+.
He lives in South Bay.
He was telling me that his neighborhood is like a Bay Area slum with immigrants.
Most houses are old.
Majority of the people are Indian or Chinese who have been at Big Tech for 10+ years.
They all bought houses a while ago.
They are worth many millions.
But not enough to completely remodel or move to a “nicer part” like Atherton.
Private school tuition per kid is $60k.
And it’s super competitive + stressful for them.
So they all have to spend more to keep their kids all the resources.
He said that he’d have moved to a state like Virginia for a balanced and fulfilling life.

They tore own The Village in Berkeley today, to make room for some heinous apartments. On a holiday, naturally. It was built mostly by the kids of Telegraph, in 1972. One of the last examples of "Hippie Modernism". This one is really tough, I loved that building.

Ok Californians, be on the lookout for this sized U-Haul, Arizona plate AL50003. Not sure of side art on it.
This is the choice vehicle for daytime residential robberies around here. If we're all looking for it, I know someone will spot it. Thank you ❤️.
Hey guys. If you see a 26 foot uhaul truck with the Arizona plate AL50003- would you let me know because it had like everything I own on it.
It was stolen near Noe and Market and fun fact: @uhaul doesn’t put gps on their trucks and thieves apparently know this.

Every night I pass the former Walgreens on Shattuck. Been vacant for well over a year. On the next block, I spot 10-15 tents in Provo park. That's just on the short block by BPD. It was 42°F last night.
The building has heat & a restroom. Why not a temp cold weather shelter?

Police officers per 1000 residents:
Vallejo = 0.6
Oakland = 1.7
San Francisco = 2.4
(Data from 2023, via the DOJ law enforcement stats)
SF doesn't need more cops. It needs certain people to move to the squeaky clean suburbs.
San Francisco must REFUND the Police not continue to DEFUND the Police. Our Police need to be empowered now — not this new terrible decision to end pretext stops. Our SFPD and Sheriffs and BART Police are the absolute key to a safe and clean San Francisco every day. SFPD must be returned to >2000 officers within 18 months from <1400 where it has been allowed to fall, and the police force must be fully empowered to enforce ALL laws. Compensate ALL city employees to recruit the best officers in the country. Reward and recognize them for hiring the absolute best now. San Francisco Police Academy must be expanded for hiring surge. All laws must be fully enforced. Police must be fully funded. The DA's office must prosecute to the fullest level of the law. Return Safety to retail business and residential properties NOW. DISTRICT BY DISTRICT - Police officers need to be enabled to protect assigned districts and rewarded & measured for their effectiveness. Metrics for effectiveness need to be clearly defined and transparent. Let’s institute a Neighborhood Policing model in San Francisco, safety District by District. We can and must do more now with our police force. ❤️❤️👮♀️👮🚔🚓🚔❤️❤️. nitter.app/markfarrellsf/status/1…

So if you were thinking about tearing down a wall of shipping containers, how would you do it? It seems impossible w/o heavy equipment. Cutting thru them for access would take forever. The area is completely enclosed, w/ sidewalks & parked cars around it. Theoretically, I mean.
