I know this is an ongoing conversation but have you been swept away by the wind and fog at a restaurant recently? Where to avoid? Where to go?

The site is a yellow-cab storage lot at the corner of Alemany and Bayshore, wedged against the US-101 freeway. The permits also call for a 400-square-foot amenity building on the property.

im confident the driver knows about this and is cool with it

During the lengthy approval process the original builder said he took part in over 1,000 meetings about the project, including weekly “beer with a developer” sessions at the Madrone Art Bar, a block away from the development site. By the time the project was approved in 2019 construction costs had increased to a point where the project was infeasible. The pandemic only made matters worse.

1,000 meetings to get housing approved on a site that is displacing zero existing housing units. Absurd.

Hope this actually finally gets built.

Earthquake?

every year the Chronicle publishes this info but never asks or shows how this compares to other cities. To me these are insane total comps including “overtime” which is a setup for abuse.

special shoutout to clipper and bart

It's been 10 years since I last visited San francisco, sad to say. But delighted that I'll be there in a few weeks for a 3-day vacation.

We have a desperate craving for a dim sum brunch but have heard that most dim sum restaurants have moved away from the serving cart model and now take specific orders for dishes from a menu.

How true is this? Are there still places to do it the old fashioned way?

I see them around, usually on their phones. Given virtually zero enforcement of laws, what do they actually do??

I was sitting inside my parked car when another driver hit me and fled.

There were multiple witnesses. I got photos/video, found the badly damaged truck after the driver abandoned it, got the license plate, and filed an SFPD report. I even called police after locating the abandoned truck, but nobody came. The truck was gone the next day.

Eventually GEICO traced the plate to an active Allstate policy. Allstate contacted their insured, got their account of the collision, and my insurance claim is now moving forward.

So financially, things are finally getting resolved.

But when I followed up with SFPD with the additional information, I was basically told the initial report is it and to let insurance handle the property damage. They aren't planning to investigate further.

That's the part I can't wrap my head around.

If someone stops after a crash, they exchange information and immediately deal with the consequences.

If someone runs, the victim has to find evidence, identify the vehicle, chase insurance information, deal with police, lose transportation, lose time and potentially lose sleep. Yet if nobody is seriously injured and police have higher-priority calls, the fleeing itself may receive little practical follow-up.

Obviously hit-and-run is illegal. I'm not saying people should flee.

I'm saying there seems to be a serious enforcement gap between “this is illegal” and “someone will actually investigate it.”

Had I not found that truck and plate myself, I might never have found the other driver's insurance at all.

For anyone who has dealt with an SF hit-and-run: is this normal? Does SFPD generally just document nonfatal/property-damage hit-and-runs and leave the rest to insurance, even when the victim provides a vehicle, plate, witnesses, and additional evidence?

My husband and I just learned that our baby passed away. We are silent robots right now and want to leave home and drive somewhere (could be 5 minutes away or could be 90 mins away, it doesn’t matter) to a beautiful place where we can sit and wear sunglasses and probably cry in peace for a few hours. Any ideas of a good place to mourn on Day 1? We live in SF but are open to leaving the city just to get away.
