Day Around The Bay: SF Ranks Ridiculously Low On 'Fit' Cities List

Published Jan 6, 2016 · 9:40 AM PST


  • Instead of a new jail, DA George Gascon and a couple supervisors are now championing a behavioral health center for the mentally ill, attached to the SF jail, and Supervisor London Breed is now battling Gascon for credit for it, calling a recent release from his office "political grandstanding." [Chron]
  • Kind of like when The Advocate makes that annual excuse for a list of the country's "gayest" cities and annually attempts to find ways to call other cities besides New York gayer than here, there's a new list of cities by some dumb site in which SF ranks 27th among major cities when it comes to being a place for "an active lifestyle," but it's based on dumb criteria. [Business Times]
  • Perhaps trying to make an example for other tech companies to follow, Pinterest has hired its first Head of Diversity. [TechCrunch]
  • Mary Kate Olsen almost did Fuller House, but Ashley didn’t want to do it, and finally Mary Kate said the timing was just “bad for us.” [OUT]
  • No one wants to buy this massive Silicon Valley house. [SocketSite]
  • More Super Bowl strife: In a pair of tweets, Supervisor John Avalos expresses concerns over city funds that might be paying for a new downtown surveillance network planned for the Super Bowl. [Twitter]
  • Also, there's controversy over some commemorative Super Bowl “badges” for public safety workers. [Chronicle]
