It’s an amazing island getaway that’s only an 8-minute ferry ride away — and it boasts better views of San Francisco than anywhere else in the city. Check it out soon! Until then, here’s a gift link to today’s @SFChronicle cover story: (2/2) https://t.co/XUf7neTwrG

I’m proud to represent Treasure Island for so many of reasons. One of them is that it’s well on its way to joining other District 6 neighborhoods I represent — e.g., Mission Rock, East Cut, Mission Bay, etc. — to become San Francisco’s NEXT hot new booming neighborhood. (1/2)

Many Bay Area residents consider Treasure Island only while zooming past it on the Bay Bridge. But with the city’s highest percentage of young adults, this human-made rectangle might be San Francisco’s most intriguing neighborhood on the rise. https://t.co/tEBTABshuJ

I profiled Ryan Rollins back in July 2022, shortly after the Warriors traded up to take him in the second round. Pretty interesting to see his sudden emergence with the Bucks.

ICYMI: I wrote yesterday on the closing arguments of the famed "chicken-rescue" trial in Sonoma County. The verdict, which could come at any time now, might change the course of animal-rights activism in America.

Glen Park, a tiny enclave near San Francisco's Twin Peaks, was recently named one of the "coolest" neighborhoods in the world. Now that the secret is out, some longtime residents wonder: Will their beloved burg change?

This leafy San Francisco village has managed to stay under the radar in a world-renowned city despite its family-owned shops, rugged greenery and a bevy of public transportation options.

Gotta love when local news stations *just happen* to run TV segments on someone just hours after you dropped a big profile on that same person.
What started as a passion project she posted about on social media has become a full-time business. The turning point came when one desperate mother reached out.

There is a woman in San Francisco who charges $30k to name your baby. She started at $100, but she was going to dinner with VCs and a friend told her to charge more and nobody blinked. The Bay Area might be the best place in the world for this kind of business.
