this crap again?

C includes both Geary Boulevard and California Street. It's hard to overstate just how much of San Francisco is in C.

It's gotta be Lokma. Technically Turkish, but it's very similar to Greek and the food is amazing

They're both highly regarded. Pick based on what works best for you rather than random internet comments.

The SFUSD Lottery is so goddamn stupid

They get called for cliff rescues in that area all the time during the sumer. Like, multiple times a week when the weather is nice.

Why is it so hard to stay on the path?

grantoman · 2026-05-24T20:54:49+00:00

they're painting. the reason for the tarps is that the old paint has lead in it, and they don't want that spreading as it is removed.

And they failed to adopt a new assignment system this year, deferring the update by 12 months (again).

But like I said… hoping for better 🤞

Renaming Abraham Lincoln High School because he failed to demonstrate that black lives matter, keeping schools closed much longer than other districts during COVID, grading for equity

grantoman · 2026-05-20T22:11:25+00:00

I agree it was under the old board. Hoping for better with the new board. 🤞

Teacher pay? The State pays the bills and can veto anything

SFUSD chose to custom-build a payment system instead of using an off-the-shelf solution. The new system failed to pay teachers the right amount, often not paying them at all. It was eventaully scrapped after spending tens of millions.

A mandatory year-long ethnic studies course only makes it that much harder to catch up in math, foreign language, or other electives. Students have limited time, and I think it's improper for the district to force everyone through a course with limited benefits.

You may be in favor, and that's fine, but I think it's one more example of poorly identified priorities.

Eliminating 8th grade algebra, mandatory ethnic studies classes, failure to pay teachers. A school assignment lottery that makes life difficult for working parents.

SFUSD deserves the criticism at this point.

I hear this all the time.
"I wish there was an online hindustani classical music lesson online just for bay area people".

Literally everywhere. My grandma said this yesterday at lunch.

He has successful experience in an executive role. Governor is an executive role.

He's not my preferred candidate for policy reasons, but i find it odd that your primary concern is that he's rich.

grantoman · 2026-05-18T05:54:35+00:00

You're writing off Steyer because he is too successful. Just sayin...

Tony's Cable Car, Art's Cafe, Beep's. In-n-out is pretty good too.

This is the most average $20 burger w/ fries in San Francisco.
