Population of Richmond Reduced to Just 24
"We, the people of District One," the manifesto modestly announces, "demand the recall of Supervisor Jake McGoldrick." Except it's only signed by 24 people. We don't have the census in front of us, but we've got a sneaky suspicion that D1's "the people" number a bit higher than those two-dozen. You could argue that they speak for the majority of D1's population, but wait -- wasn't it the majority that put Jake put into office? Twice?
Temporary Reprive for Local Theaters
SFist has been following stories of our endangered local theaters. We've watched in despair as the last few years have seen the loss of the Alexandria, Regency, and Royal. And we've been even more dismayed by San Francisco Proposition L which, in the words of the San Francisco Chronicle,seeks to "allow a small, unknown group of theater advocates to take $10 million from the city's hotel tax revenues and allegedly use it to purchase movie theaters and to promote the local film industry." We have wondered "Why can't we just hang on to what we have?"
