Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, local leaders were looking for ways to keep local culture alive as older entrepreneurs retired without successors to carry on their legacies. They supported new galleries and festivals to fill the gap left by the loss of tourism, while trying to protect the neighborhood's status as a home for low-income immigrant families and seniors. As new arrivals, each with their own motivations, look for their place in the neighborhood, they must engage with an already ...| San Francisco Public Press

The view and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of her organization. I became interested in local politics by accident when I started bike commuting in Minneapolis in 2011 (ask me about the exploding yogurt on the bike path incident). It wasn’t until well after COVID, however, that I had any awareness of the endorsement process for city-level elected officials, which came from the Wedge Live podcast.

Visitors coming into Oakland’s Chinatown now will meet a staggering dragon watching over the intersection of Jackson and 10th streets.

Many, many moons ago, during the breezy period right out of schooling when I lived in Southern Louisiana, I had to evacuate from a hurricane or two. (“Breezy” takes on a new meaning.)

Quite some time ago, a friend offered me an idea for an article. Reserve Block 40 — why the hell is that little park named that? No one (at least, no one who walks among the living) appeared to know. It was a mystery that had been allowed to be. Finding this all very interesting, I took up the suggestion of my friend. Working my way back through materials on the topic, I wound up tracing a circuitous path back home. The piece wound up becoming a kind of oblique auto-biography, and wound up ...| Streets.mn

Four months. That’s how long San Francisco has to change its rules to allow taller buildings and denser neighborhoods across much of the city. It’s a once-in-a-generation — maybe two generations — redesign to make room for tens of thousands of new homes. The plan’s opponents feel emboldened by the recall of Sup. Joel Engardio.

The Hamline-Midway neighborhood in St. Paul — the crucial stretch between University Avenue and Interstate 94 from Snelling Avenue to Lexington Parkway — sits at the intersection of two major transit lines and should be thriving. Instead, it’s littered with empty big-box shells, struggling strip malls, and businesses that seem to exist in spite of their locations rather than because of them. The problem isn’t just vacancy or disinvestment. It’s that developers and property owners ha...| Streets.mn

When Chair Nancy Tung announced that the Democratic County Central Committee of San Francisco would not take a position on the recall of District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio, recall supporters cheered. In the lead-up to the vote, a narrative gained traction: if the DCCC opposed the recall, it would signal to west-side Asian American voters that their voices didn’t matter. While the decision is unlikely to change the outcome of the Sept. 16 special election, political strategists say it signa...| San Francisco Public Press

Some of you may have already seen local coverage of new six-unit homes being proposed near the University of St Thomas campus. You also may have heard about some pushback from neighbors in that area — specifically an ask for a moratorium on all multifamily housing construction in the area.
