Here are his major moves:

San Francisco will do anything to get people downtown except let them live there
San Francisco's recovery plan for its decimated Downtown is complicated, and much of it beyond the reach of any one city.

The stuff we've done so far, however, isn't complicated: Get young people downtown — and get them a drink.

The mass firing of the federal tech workers at 18F is already being subsumed by fresh hells. But it's important that we take a beat to understand what just happened—that elimination of 18F is one of DOGE's most extreme political acts yet.

The federal digital services team 18F had a diverse workforce and openly inclusive policies. That's why DOGE killed it.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

This is tragic. Anyone who was familiar with 18F knows those were some of the real heroes of government, who helped make government tech/digital services better for the public.

They were doing real work that DOGE pretends to do, but is too ignorant to know how to do.
18F, a digital services unit inside the General Services Administration, has been completely laid off, according to an email I’ve seen. The email says that 18F was deemed “non-critical” and the decision was made with the “explicit” direction of the administration and GSA leadership.

Photographer Gustavo Hernandez has been walking the Tenderloin taking portraits of people who live there.

Some move there because they love it. Others do so because they don't have a whole lot of other options.

Everyone, though, has something to say about it.
