We’re at the mayoral debate tonight in Golden Gate Park. We won’t be live-tweeting, but we’ll offer tidbits here and there. Everyone entering the county fair building has to run the gauntlet Image The guy in the blue sweater in front of me walked from 9th and Lincoln to the front door yelling “Eat the rich!” I was s so curious: Would that be like 🥗 or 🍜 or 🍑

Follow along with editor @alexlash, won't you? Image For people of a certain age or musical disposition, the phrase "the candidates debate" instantly conjures up Simon & Garfunkel singing as Dustin Hoffman drives across the Bay Bridge Image

@SFUnified's first town hall about consolidations and closures is on Zoom now. We won't be live-twXting a full 🧵, but we'll note a few things here. First thing to note: Whatever happens, it won't start until the 2024-25 school year. Tonight begins a long outreach/info process. @SFUSD_Supe is going through a slide deck:
Declining enrollment
+ Teacher shortage
+ Aging school sites and facilites
= "We need fewer schools. Our resources are stretched too thin."

That was fast. After the 8:45pm release, the @sfchronicle is calling these races:
❌ Prop B (SFPD staffing)
✅ Prop D (ethics rules)
✅ Prop E (loosening SFPD rules on surveillance, chases, etc)
✅ Prop F (drug screens for welfare recipients)
✅ Prop G (urging 8th algebra) - Prop A (affordable housing 💰) is just ahead of the 2/3 majority it needs, too close to call.
- Prop C (tax break for turning offices to homes) is up 55-45.
- Also ahead: The incumbent SF judges called soft on crime in misleading ads sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

Happy Monday out there. We're tuning into the @sfbos Land Use and Transportation Committee shortly to see what legislators are working on in the following areas: housing production, family and senior housing, fleet charging, and more. Agenda is here: sfbos.org/sites/default/… There's also a proposed ordinance to create a Potrero Yard special use district. The bus depot could potentially be redeveloped into hundreds of homes, but as with all things #SF, it's complicated. thefrisc.com/sfs-in-danger-…
