A Look At Supervisor Jane Kim’s First Year in Office.

Board of Supervisors Revisiting The Plastic Bag Ban in SF
Here comes San Francisco again, telling you what type of bag you can put your purchased goods in. As a dog owner, I find plastic bags as a useful asset for picking up dog poop, or even reusing them as a (go figure) bag when I go to the grocery store. But the city feels [...]

San Francisco’s First Homicide of 2012…
Some accolades you just don’t want. For example, you probably don’t want to be known for having the first homicide of the year. Unfortunately, South of Market is home to one of the worst containment zones for crime, open air drug use and prostitution, so homicide is only a miscommunication away at any given moment. [...]

San Francisco Police Department Southern Station Update
We haven’t run our reoccurring series, Checking in With Charlie, the SFPD Southern Station Crime Update for a couple of months. Back in the middle of all that OccupySF bull-cocky, Southern Station Captain Charlie Orkes sent out a notice explaining that they were too preoccupied (no pun intended) to compile a weekly newsletter. Once they [...]
