The Agenda

PG&E offers more excuses, and will seek to delay and obfuscate over public power

Public power is cheaper, more reliable, and would make money for the city. Just look at the numbers
City Hall

SF could move to take over PG&E’s system right now, if city officials had the political will

We don't need a new state bill or more hearings. The city could start the public power process immediately—and send a powerful message to the state
The Agenda

It’s time to kick PG&E out of the city. In fact, it’s long, long overdue

Plus: Robocars could cause a massive crisis in an emergency—and the budget for next year is going to be awful. That's The Agenda for Dec. 21-28
News + Politics

The great PG&E debacle: A timeline 1898-1997

A deep dive into the scandalous history of the power company, including the Raker Act and Hetch Hetchy dam deal.
Housing

Lurie ignored tenant groups when drafting his Muni parcel-tax proposal—and that’s a problem

Allowing landlords to pass through the cost to renters creates a potential problem for his plan—and it could easily have been avoided
Crime

Appeal in Epps manslaughter case could put DA’s ethics on trial

Verdict against editor and filmmaker based on dubious evidence—and if it goes to appeal, defense may raise issues of prosecutorial misconduct
The Agenda

Delivery drones in the skies above SF?

Plus: A rally to stop school closures. That's The Agenda for Dec. 14-21.
City Hall

Under Lurie, affordability is in free fall

Rents are up. Muni fares are up. Evictions are up. Will this be the next big issue in San Francisco, as it was in New York?
City Hall

Lurie’s Charter Reform working group is not remotely a ‘broad group of experts’

Panel is dominated by billionaire-funded and big-business groups and the rest of the city is mostly left out
Housing

The creepy sleeping pods might not even be legal

Apartment bidding wars are a problem, too—and the city can put an end to it
