🍏 NEW, TEACHER WANTED: Some transitional kindergarten kids haven't had full-time teachers since August, despite the classes bumping up enrollment for SFUSD. @taybarton.bsky.social reports on the holdup and the building parent frustration.

SFUSD’s Extra Kindergarten Year Is Meant to Be a Draw. For These Families, It’s a Problem
‘TK’ for 4-year-olds gives kids an educational boost and helps cut childcare costs. But at least three classes haven’t had a permanent teacher all year.

👉🏼 Drinking at the movies 🍷
👉🏼 Plans for a huge development (600+ homes) along the Embarcadero 🏗️
👉🏼 What neighbors think of plans to build 8 homes in the backyard of an existing apt building on Dolores St. 🌴

⬆️ NEW, HIGH STEPPIN': A plan for 2 waterfront buildings, 10 & 23 stories, is having a hearing tmrw. How's this for irony: they'd force the move of a homeless shelter that once made neighbors furious. And replace it with something else SF neighbors ❤️ 2 hate: tall towers

This New Waterfront High Rise Plan Comes With a Homeless Twist
An Embarcadero shelter once spurred a fight that drew in Marc Benioff and London Breed. Now it could be replaced by something many SF neighbors also complain about: tall towers.

💰 ICYMI, TRANSIT TAX: While SFMTA waits on @governor.ca.gov Newsom for word of a rescue loan, it's got a new parcel tax ready for the 2026 ballot. These elements + a regional sales tax are what the agency needs to stay on track, as @unazurda.bsky.social reports.

🐌 ICYMI, SLOW REFORM: SF's coordinated entry system assigns numerical priority, via a questionnaire, to determine who gets into housing. That process has been under scrutiny since 2022 — with no changes. Now, HUD cuts are looming. @aylaburnett.bsky.social reports.
