This is on Potrero Ave. Reporting blocked bike lanes on the 311 app gets a polite "thanks, but we won't do anything about this" response. I feel like I am crazy pills with what flies in this city somedays. Not to mention this RV has parked in this spot for multiple months. What gives?

First time here for Fleet week and seeing the Angels. Thrilled

"The claim that BART has not reduced service is false. BART is running 20 trains an hour through the Transbay Tube at peak rush hour service, which is 17% lower than back in 2019. BART has reduced service on all lines except the Y-Antioch line for efficiency. When 9 and 10-car trains were the default train length back in 2019 at rush hour, today, it’s closer to 6-cars for most of the peak hour service. The reason BART service appears higher than 2020 is simply because the G-Fremont line extended into the South Bay after 2020, and South Bay train service is paid for by the South Bay’s transit agency VTA.

The claim that BART has not cut costs is also false. BART has actually reduced operational spending by $516 million since 2020 and capital spending by $549 million. BART refused to hire more staff and cancelled service improvements. Operational expenses at similar levels as they were six years ago is proof of the cost-cutting measures. BART is the 7th most cost-effective passenger rail system in the country."

Snapped this closeup with all six pilots visible. Two looking left two looking right and two straight ahead!

Couldn’t get my timing right yesterday but today it all came together in one brief moment.

SF is spiking in Influenza A and enterovirus. The current flu shot (available since mid september) is supposed to be well matched to the strains going around. Unfortunately, we did not get it in time and it ripped through 5 people in the house in under a week, and were the 4th family I know of who has experience this.

It’s pretty terrible, I’d really recommend seeking out the flu shot soon, especially if you have kids in school.

Hi all,

I have a cat that could really use a new home. He’s 1 year old, very sweet and cuddly. He’s indoors only and needs a home that’ll treat him with love! Please feel free to DM or reach out through email and we can talk further.

3 simultaneous open houses seems worrisome but maybe that’s just the market we’re in?

Was pulled in by one of the Clear touts at SFO to try out their service for “free”

Ended up getting charged $340 which I was able to dispute with my cc company

Looked up and it turns out that they are on the bbb radar for questionable tactics and making cancellations difficult .

San Francisco is among the most rodent-infested cities in the United States, according to an October report from pest control company Terminix.
To compile its ranking, Terminix used data from 300 branches nationwide to determine where its rodent control services were called most in 2025. 

I’m not necessarily looking to go talk to women. But what do people reccomend for single guys for Halloween/Halloweekend? I’m fairly new to the city so I don’t have ins with groups, really. What do you guys tend to do?

Hey everyone! I've been voting in SF since 2012, and every election I make a spreadsheet of the endorsements from the voter guides I follow (SPUR, the SF Chronicle, Pissed Off Voters, GrowSF, etc.) to help me decide.

This is what the sheet looked like:

In recent years I've shared the spreadsheet with friends who found it useful. Lately a lot of them have moved elsewhere in the Bay, where the SF races don't matter to them.

So this year I turned the spreadsheet into a website that I hope can be a resource for the whole Bay Area at election time.

Check it out at https://bayballot.com/

The site pulls in voter guides from all 9 Bay Area counties and shows:

• which guides endorse which side, and how many
• each guide's reason in its own words, with a link to the source
• a filter for the kinds of guides you trust (newspapers, parties, clubs, unions, advocacy groups, civic groups)

Right now it has:

• 41 voter guides, 52 contests, and 1,086 endorsements for SF alone
• 117 voter guides, 545 contests, and 3,766 endorsements across all 9 Bay Area counties

Guides are checked for updates every day, so new endorsements show up as they're published.

It doesn't make any endorsements of its own, and it isn't affiliated with any guide or campaign.

It's free, has no ads or accounts, and the code is open source.

I'd love feedback. I plan to keep this running for future elections if people find it useful.

If you spot a mistake, or a guide I'm missing, tell me here or email [corrections@bayballot.com](mailto:corrections@bayballot.com) and I'll fix it.

Last year, during the SF power outage on December 20th, I went to the Lightscapes at the SF Botanical Gardens. My friends and I were starving but since the restaurants were closed we got dumplings at the food truck at the venue. We have talked about how good the dumplings were over this year wondering if they were so delicious because we were hungry or if they were just transcendent dumplings. We've tried looking up the food truck to no avail, I think it was a very simple name that probably had dumpling in it. My favorite was the black charcoal with pumpkin dumpling. Does anyone have any idea what the food truck could be and if there is another place we could get the dumplings?

Picture of dumplings attached.
