It’s been a tough year for Northern California. If ever folks needed to unwind with a day at the beach with hundreds of corgis in Halloween costumes, now is the time.
The California Association of Realtors announced in July that San Francisco, once again, had the highest median home price in the state at $909 per square foot.
Steeling myself for Transportation Week’s worst rush-hour challenge, I expected-slash-hoped for a hellish commute aboard the sluggish and odorous 38-Geary.

On Saturday, thousands of protesters used their bodies to spell out "RESIST!!" on the sands of Ocean Beach in San Francisco.

Tentative subway proposals suggest tripling the present tunnel network. Yeah, thinks might be getting nuts around here pretty soon, if only we cross our fingers hard enough for funding to materialize.
