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."

If you're one of the roughly 112,000 people in San Francisco receiving benefits through CalFresh - the state's version of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, sometimes referred to as food stamps - you'll be receiving a prepaid grocery card this week from the city. But the White House warned that payments would still only be half of people's regular benefits, and that there could be lengthy delays before EBT cards are reloaded. And on Tuesday, Trump threatened to once again withhold SNAP payments entirely. If you're a San Francisco resident using CalFresh, here's what to know about getting your prepaid grocery card - from how to activate your card to how much money the card will contain. Only one card will be sent to San Francisco CalFresh users, and you'll have to activate your card by December 31 for it to remain valid.

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.

Tech hopefuls are associating themselves with San Francisco online; some say for social media clout or to attract investors. Eight rising tech workers told Business Insider that they've noticed an influx of San Francisco love online. One changed his location to San Francisco as a "manifestation." Another said they thought of it as a "heavenly land." 18-year-old Lance Yan recently made his location on X to "Waterloo | SF."

All national cuisines have history, but few wear their age as proudly as Italian food. The heritage, passed-down recipes, and restaurants run by multiple generations of the same family is a large part of what makes Italian cuisine so appealing: Eating food that's been made the same way for decades, if not centuries, feels like you're taking part in tradition.

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."

But those additions will come at the expense of several routes the airline is cutting, including 25% at San Francisco International Airport and others at San Jose Mineta International Airport. "These adjustments are firmly rooted in the need to be disciplined with our aircraft in 2026, as fewer new aircraft enter our fleet," an Alaska spokesperson told the Points Guy in a statement. "Although these decisions are difficult, SFO and LAX remain key markets for us."

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A San Francisco judge denied mental health diversion for the man at the center of a double fatal hit-and-run in San Francisco nearly five years ago on New Year's Eve. Troy McAlister is facing vehicular manslaughter charges for the deaths of 27-year-old Hanako Abe and 60-year-old Elizabeth Platt in a SoMa crosswalk. McAlister was on parole and allegedly driving a stolen vehicle at the time. The case was previously instrumental in the recall of former San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin.

San Francisco criminal court clerks issued a "cry for help" on Monday, threatening to strike for three days if the court did not respond to their demands for more staff and better training to handle an influx of criminal cases. After 11 hours of negotiations, the clerks' union and the court's bargaining team came to a tentative agreement on Tuesday night.

In October, Immigration and Customs Enforcement made just seven arrests at San Francisco immigration courts, a steep reduction after months of routinely detaining immigrants after their hearings. There have been no arrests of immigrants attending hearings at the immigration court at 630 Sansome St. since Oct. 3, according to Milli Atkinson, a lawyer with the San Francisco Bar Association who closely monitors ICE actions there. At 100 Montgomery St., the city's other immigration courthouse, the last arrest recorded by Mission Local was on Aug. 20.

"This measure would hinder the city's comeback by making rides more expensive and hurting drivers," said CJ Macklin, director of communications at Lyft. "This would be particularly devastating for low-income communities who struggle to even access the Muni system and depend on ride-share to get around. It's the wrong move for San Francisco."

Like many bars in the city, Ginger's has focused on entertainment to lure in customers in recent years, especially post-pandemic, when a lot of happy hour customers in the Financial District - and downtown in general - never fully returned. Throughout the week, Ginger's hosted drag and variety shows, movie nights, karaoke and DJs. It was the bar manager's job to book the shows and also to promote them, in addition to bartending. The wide range of responsibilities makes it a challenging job to fill.

"The class certification decision is one step toward finally getting justice for these young people," said Rachel Lederman, an attorney with the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, which is representing five teenagers arrested that day.

I've always wanted to live in San Francisco. It's the beating pulse of AI, and there are so many insanely ambitious and talented people to be surrounded by. You can literally walk into a coffee shop and end up in a two-hour deep dive conversation about AI agents or someone's YC application. Everyone's dreaming big, and you can feel that optimism in the air. It's a nice place to build a startup.
