Fantastic news for San Francisco parks, and a big coup for Mayor Lurie. And good news that this billionaire stayed in San Francisco.

Wow. Surprised this source is calling at this quickly. Must be the provisional ballots.
Projection:
Democrat Scott Colom is the Projected Winner in the Mississippi Senate election. He will defeat Incumbent Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith.

Connie Chan wants to shut AI down, but meanwhile she continues to use AI to write 75% of her emails, in an updated analysis.
This wouldn't be the first example of hypocrisy from Scott Wiener's conservative opponent running for Congress in SF, who also declared a climate emergency back in 2020 but opposes buses, slow streets, and car-free spaces including JFK Promenade in Golden Gate Park.
BREAKING -- most of Connie Chan's campaign emails from the last month are partially or completely AI generated. Scott Wiener's conservative opponent in the race for Congress has tried to draw a distinction on the issue of AI safety and regulation, and LLM use specifically. Meanwhile, she herself sends her supporters slop.

Interesting endorsement here of the bipartisan Senate permitting reform bill given Steyer's credibility with progressives and enviros
A bipartisan permitting bill is the best chance we've had to build clean energy at scale.
Progressives shouldn't pass it up. View article

Solar surpasses nuclear power globally for first time" at pv-magazine.com/2026/09/29/s…
Great decision by Mayor Lurie: new rules to address the problems with Flock cameras, but retaining Flock (which has done so much good in reducing crime).

Just what we need. Permitting is the bottleneck for clean energy.
SCOOP: Trump signals he would ease his administration's blockade on wind projects to entice Democrats to agree to a permitting deal. He told top aides he'd agree to direct DOD to start clearing its queue of long-delayed onshore wind projects subscriber.politicopro.com/a…

Kudos to Scott Wiener for this meaningful solar legislation.
Plug-in solar allows people — renters and homeowners — to plug in a small, low-cost solar device, generate electricity, and lower their electric bills. My legislation to make it dramatically easier for people to install plug-in solar is on the Governor’s desk. kqed.org/science/2001795

Solar electricity production now costs the same to build as power from coal or gas: ten years ago it was five times more expensive,. Running costs have long been less. So have total lifetime costs. This is another crucial point in the energy transition.

Connie Chan has quiet quit the Board of Supervisors.
She left every active board committee to campaign full-time, leaving District 1 without a supervisor focused on San Francisco.
Chan should serve the district she was elected to represent, or resign.

we are never going to solve climate change with democrats spreading this absolute horseshit about transmission lines
"They can’t take everything from us!"
Powerful words in Goochland County, where the Valley Link Transmission Line is robbing ordinary people of their home, harvest, and heritage. We cannot allow these corporations to tell us this is inevitable. #BlockValleyLink
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
high voltage lines do not effect crop growth, nor do they use water

The affordable EV war just got a LOT more interesting.
The 2027 Kia EV3 is coming to the U.S. with:
⚡ Starting price: $31,385 incl. destination
🔋 Up to 321 miles EPA range
🔌 Native NACS charging
🚙 Available AWD
⚡ 10–80% in ~31 minutes with the larger battery
Think about that for a second.
Not long ago, getting 300+ miles of EV range usually meant spending $45K, $50K or considerably more.
Now we’re approaching the point where 300 miles could simply be expected from a $30-something-thousand EV.
And that’s where things get interesting for Tesla, GM, Nissan, Rivian, and Lucid Motors.
The EV market doesn’t necessarily need another $70K electric SUV.
It needs more vehicles like this.
If Kia can combine these specs with aggressive lease pricing, the EV3 could be one of the most important EVs entering the U.S. market.
The next EV battle isn’t going to be about who builds the most impressive $100K EV.
It’s going to be about who gives buyers the most range, technology, charging capability, and value for $30K–$40K.
And THAT is great for consumers.

Auto glass shops and “bippers”are bummed, but it’s good news for the rest of SF. Kudos to Mary Laurie and district attorney Brooke Jenkins.
