I remember so many things about that night, and anyone who lived through it has stories to tell. What that storm did - 100 miles inland! - was something virtually nobody saw coming. 37 years now. Wow. #HurricaneHugo

And there it goes. 😢

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Well done, @NASA

Look at what we humans can do. 🥲

Oh, Santa Clara. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Six years ago.

Fare thee well, Bob. 😢

Solid shake/roll right there. Whew. 😬

As we dig deeper into the 'flow' - or lack thereof - in San Francisco's homeless system, we hit a core predicament; Permanent supportive housing is becoming increasingly that, permanence coming with increasing cost and marginal effect on the street (1/3) cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/n…

In Part 1 of this series we looked at this idea of 'flow' and how it can help explain why San Francisco's increased spending, and success in housing more people, isn't producing the kind of progress many would like to see on streets and in numbers (2/2)

And in Part 2 we looked at one very cost-effective way to limit the amount of inflow into the system, and that's help people who are housed stay in their homes. Hopefully, more installments to come before too long. cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/n…

A mudslide has taken a house into the Russian River just above River Road. That’s the Forest Hills Bridge in the background. I am told the house was vacant.

“A decision to take summer water from local farmers and dump it out of these reservoirs shows a complete lack of understanding of how the system works and sets a very dangerous precedent."

The military did not enter California. The federal government restarted federal water pumps after they were offline for maintenance for three days. State water supplies in Southern California remain plentiful.

A lot of attention on the #MossLandingFire right now. As a little background for you, here's the unveiling of that facility back in June of 2022. youtube.com/watch?v=YRYRaT…

Federal prosecutors reveal their indictment of former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and her partner Andre Jones. It alleges a “scheme to defraud the public” by taking bribes and kickbacks for influence at city hall.

Two local businesses are also implicated, a recycling company and a housing company. The indictment alleges $95,000 in payments to Jones for a “no-show job” with the housing company, with a promise of additional payments “all intended for the benefit of Thao and Jones.”
