Friday Morning Constitutional: Why Your PG&E Bill's So Much Higher This Month

  • After a hiatus, [Valleywag] returns, now run by a marketing guy who lives in Boston. Here's his first post, a list of industry predictions for 2015.
  • Hundreds gathered at Fruitvale Station yesterday to remember Oscar Grant. [Bay City News/KRON4] [ABC7]
  • Meanwhile, [BART] tells you how they've reformed since his death.
  • We warned you! Yes, your PG&E bill is going up by 5.6% this month. [SF Chronicle]
  • A [Capp Street Crap] New Year.
  • Zumba in the Park(s) is exploding! [Ingleside Light]
  • The last San Francisco tech company to rent a big block of space in 2014, the city's second-largest leasing year ever, was "social shopping app" Wish and their 54,500-square-foot lease at One Sansome. [SF Business Times]
  • Deaf drivers dig working for Lyft. [SF Chronicle]
  • To mark the beginning of a new year, people jumped into the ocean. [ABC7] [SF Examiner]
  • How New Orleans was turned into San Francisco. [LA Times]
  • OK, this is hopelessly media, syntax, and editor-nerdy, so sorry about that. But I find it super interesting that every version of this AP story on how Tesla guy Elon Musk is getting divorced ends with the line "Musk did not immediately Tweet news of the divorce Wednesday." See? Every version, that is, except the one that ran in the New York Times. They closed the AP report with "Mr. Musk did not immediately post news of the divorce Wednesday on Twitter." (Check it.) It's such a head-scratcher to me that the Times would change a elegantly workable sentence to that clunker, all to serve their "style," I guess? I have asked an editor buddy I have there to see if there's some other reason for this, but anyway, thanks for indulging me. Happy new year!
