It's not a joyous occasion for me knowing that there will be people impacted by this state bill. There will be vulnerable seniors, people with disabilities that will be now legally kicked out of their homes.That's not something that I think anybody anywhere would be happy with. And so as much as I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into the tenant protection bill, I personally come here today with a heavy heart

The last we'd heard of the beloved and historic Land's End restaurant the Cliff House, which closed in late 2020 and its iconic lettered Cliff House signage came down when the restaurant owners could not renew their lease with the property owners at the National Park Service, the new owner said a new restaurant there would not open until late 2025.

Fred and Desmond aren't in a salon. They're on the sidewalk outside the Kelly Cullen Community building on Leavenworth Street, a popular gathering area for Tenderloin residents during the day that on most days hosts an outdoor barbershop. Beneath the cape, Fred sits on a wooden diner chair. Others nearby chat or doze on overturned milk crates, wheelchairs, or the steps into the building, when they're not gated off to prevent loitering.

"Low-traffic neighborhoods," as the Brits call them, deploy low-cost interventions to steer traffic away from certain streets to make space for pedestrians and cyclists. In this week's Friday video,UN-award-winning Streetfilms auteur Clarence Eckerson Jr.'s travels around leafy Londonwith urban planner Solomon Green-Eames. Their sunny jaunt should inspire deep envy in every New York urbanist. The key to these neighborhoods, which have no exact equivalent in America's biggest city, are "modal filters" that divert car traffic while allowing bicycles and pedestrians to roll and walk freely.

You've probably read plenty of recent news stories about how San Francisco is a failed city. Our infrastructure is crumbling, our streets are scary, our social fabric is torn and frayed. Most of that stuff is false. Yes, San Francisco has issues, but they're the same problems nearly all US cities are facing as they struggle to reorient themselves to our new, post-pandemic economic reality. The "doom loop" narrative that's often repeated in the national press is a gross exaggeration.

The January 2019 beating 88-yearold Yik Oi Huang, popularly known as Popo Huang around her Visitacion Valley neighborhood, seemed a particularly brutal example of elder abuse. Huang was badly bludgeoned after the early morning attack at Visitacion Valley Playground, where she was found bloodied in a sandbox with head injuries, a broken spine, broken hand, and broken ribs. Her shirt had been pulled up and her pants pulled down below beneath her waist, her shoes stolen, and her house keys stolen too.

A 15-month-long controversy over the possible removal of the brutalist Vaillancourt Fountain is over for now, as the SF Arts Commission just voted 8-5 to take it down, though they say it will be put into storage and it could possibly be rebuilt. It created some waves July 2024 when SF city officials presented a proposed redesign for the Embarcadero Plaza and Sue Bierman Park and that design did not include the Vaillancourt Fountain that's been there since 1971.

Over the past few years, the future of San Francisco's temporarily shuttered Castro Theatre has been one of the city's most hot button cultural issues. Protests over maintaining its identity as a movie palace lingered throughout the costly renovation by concert promoter Another Planet Entertainment. There are still questions as to how much film programming will fill the schedule, but after an announcement of a packed concert slate, it's clear that there's a change in the air.

A San Francisco man has been formally charged with multiple felonies in connection with the sexual battery of a child at Golden Gate Park's Polo Field last month, officials confirmed. On Oct. 23 around 5:30 p.m., San Francisco police officers responded to a report of sexual battery of a minor in the bathrooms near the Polo Field.

San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins told ABC7, "We are pleased to announce Mr. Gathron has been found guilty of numerous counts. Most importantly in the murder of Mrs. Huang, an 88-year-old grandmother who simply out doing her morning exercise. He is now being held accountable, finally, after so many years for this family having to wait to receive justice."

Mayor Lurie's long-promised two-hour limit on RV parking on SF streets took effect Saturday, though its effect may be limited, as many of the RVs already have a six-month extension lined up to stay parked right where they are. San Francisco has always had a fairly significant population of people living in RVs parked in street parking spaces, particularly around Bayview-Hunters Point, the Mission District, and around the Lake Merced and West Portal areas.

The $2.6 billion SFO Terminal 3 West Modernization project is in full swing to renovate the 650,000-square-foot western part of the terminal, including adding 20,000 square feet of additional space. As the project moves into the next phase, flyers will see changes at the AirTrain station, United ticket counters and curbside starting Tuesday, according to an Oct. 30 news release from SFO. United Airlines, which operates out of Terminal 3, is SFO's largest carrier, with 46.8% of all flights.

KitKat graced the counters of Randa's Market on 16th Street, near the historic Roxie Theater in the Mission District. KitKat was first introduced on the store's Instagram page six years ago, quickly winning over the hearts of customers. He wasn't a surly or suspicious cat - he could be seen playing with someone's dangling hoodie drawstrings; snoozing in front of shelves with liquor bottles; inside a cardboard box marked with his name; greeting the neighborhood dogs; even dressing up as Santa Claus.

November 12 is the last day for any fans to take a final ride on one of the light-rail trains that have been running through the streets and tunnels of San Francisco since 1996, as the last of them is finally getting retired. It's finally time to say arrivederci to the Italian-built light-rail trains that have defined Muni service for more than a generation, with their distinctive silver and red body paint, and vaguely European shape.

"Playland at 43rd Avenue,"

A man walking past a group of strangers near Van Ness Avenue and California Street in SF was hit by stray bullets Friday night around 11:50 pm. The group, who may have been arguing at the time, fled the scene, and the victim was taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. A trial will proceed against David Pokorny, 45, of El Cerrito who is suspected of threatening to torture and kill Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee.

The Golden Gate Half Marathon had to modify its course due to federal park closures. On Sunday, the iconic Golden Gate Bridge will play host to San Francisco's Golden Gate Half Marathon. "We start reading magazines that say, 'San Francisco! The Golden Gate Bridge.' We started dreaming about this beautiful city. So about three years ago, I started coming to run the marathon -- my childhood dream to come to this beautiful city," said Carmen Gonzalez, who grew up in Mexico.

The San Francisco City Attorney's Office secured a roughly $3 million settlement on Friday with online tobacco retailers accused of breaking the city's 2017 flavored tobacco ban. According to the SF Standard, the nicotine companies were accused of going around the ban by selling their flavored products online. In a statement, City Attorney David Chiu said the online retailers - Rogue Holdings, Swisher International, and Northerner Scandinavia - "are not above our San Francisco laws and cannot ship banned products into our city."
