My latest: In May, Laurie Steves ripped up her life outside Seattle and moved to San Francisco to try to save her daughter, Jessica, who's homeless in the Tenderloin and addicted to fentanyl. @gabriellelurie and I have followed their story ever since.

Laurie already lost one child to a drug overdose. Can she save another?

Palo Alto investigated one activity in the compound: a private school for 14 children and six staff. The city said it was a violation of code and must be ended. The school was named Bicken Ben which Zuckerberg once said was also the name of his chicken.

My latest: Mark Zuckerberg has turned part of Palo Alto into a compound, buying at least eleven houses and adding a 7,000-square ft basement, pool with hydro floor and 7-foot statue of his wife. After eight years of construction, neighbors are steamed.
