This decision didn't happen in a vacuum; it happened after local religious leaders decided to get arrested at the ICE courthouse in San Francisco as a means of registering their objections.

Some people still don’t have power, but it’s okay because PG&E is prioritizing the Nutcracker
Reading about san francisco's first chinese sex worker, Ah Toy.
She arrived in 1849 from Guangzhou.
"She was unusually tall for a Chinese woman, with delicate, bound feet and a slender boding and laughing eyes. She was 'strangely alluring', as one admirer later put it."
"Her first place of business [..] was in an alley off Clay Street, between Dupont and Kearny Streets. The line of men often stretched down the block. After disembarking their steamboats from the interior, miners would often break into a run to claim a spot. The men paid Ah Toy with an ounce of gold dust, which she carefully weighted. In return, she gave men a chance to 'gaze on her coutenance'"
Her lover was John A. Clark, the leader of a special task force.. investigating prostitution in the city.

Every day, every intersection, SF drivers make us walk in traffic so that they can sit in the crosswalk and save a few minutes. No regard for the safety of others. And that’s when they’re not actively murdering people and children.

Every time someone from a bigger food city says ‘what’s the big deal about food in SF’ and people get so defensive. I think it’s worth articulating that the severe gentrification has led to changing tastes, yet the cost of living and lack of housing also impacts everything. If service people can’t live here and can’t get home after a shift, why do we expect places to stay open? ‘SF is a major food city’ is a concept that is stuck in the past.
The seafood isn’t as good as in Oregon (or even east coast).
The Chinese food is fine. But lacking in modern diversity.
The bread is.. I don’t care for it.
Exciting things in food in the Bay Area, as with elsewhere in the country, is happening in places where immigrants live and work. A city that has no place for economic and social diversity is just going to become boring food for people with expense accounts.
There are still a handful of great spots, but I find myself increasingly traveling to Oakland, South SF, Millbrae, Fremont, San Jose for the food that I love.
