Why do San Francisco's Painted Ladies have property taxes ranging from $1,000 to $44,000? My latest story on how the iconic houses explain Prop 13, California's most important (and complicated) housing law @sfchronicle
https://t.co/XcL5SdtNaV

The amount that each Painted Lady homeowner pays in property taxes varies widely. Here’s why it matters for California's housing market.

Love this project by @namisumida (who decided to illustrate it herself!) on building codes for having a single stairway, which can lead to complications for housing in San Francisco. Pro tip: Scroll the OPPOSITE way to read it.
Could this change to San Francisco’s building code create more opportunities for dense housing?

How are the Golden State Warriors so good? It's pretty simple. They have a lot of good players and they are playing them all. Cool charts from @namisumida

In their excellent start to the season, the Golden State Warriors have embraced an unusual, but apparently effective, strategy: playing almost all their players.

Prop D on San Francisco's ballot would cut down the number of SF commissions from 135 to 65 Do you think you can eliminate 70 commissions? See if you can in my @sfchronicle commission game! https://t.co/yu7GPAipQo

San Francisco has 135 commissions. One local proposition on the November ballot will decrease it to 65. Do you think you can eliminate that many?

Whether San Francisco has too many city commissions is one of the most important, but dryest, subjects this election. So @namisumida made it into a game. https://t.co/QlSirkrx4n

Really thoughtful story from @xianleonard on the Bay Area's increasing multiracial Asian population https://t.co/qwvqifIpw7
sfchronicle.com
About 4.5 million multiracial Asian people lived in the U.S. as of 2022, about 1.4% of the total population. But in San Francisco, more than 4% of residents identified as Asian and another race.

@namisumida did an incredible dive into RCV using some fun poll data on the best event in SF that you should absolutely check out. It also has some of the truest opinions about Fleet Week.
Ranked-choice voting is the system used in San Francisco to elect some local officials. It’s how voters will choose the next mayor. Can you game it? We held a RCV poll of our own to find out:
