East Coast transplant and D6 Supervisor Chris Daly might soon be headed for safer, more affordable pastures. Daly, it seems, has bought a home in Fairfield, the East Bay (North Bay?) city where his wife and two kids moved in May. “I continue to eat, sleep, and bathe in my home on Stevenson Street” right here in SF, Daly wrote. "I bicycle to City Hall and to district meetings from my home and intend to continue to do so until the end of my Supervisor term and probably for longer."

Presumably, Daly also plans to remain co-editor at Fog City Journal when he finally calls Fairfield his home. more ›
