14. The campaign to recall San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin

Saison 2 · Épisode 14

mardi 7 juin 2022 • Durée 22:17

On June 7, 2022, San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin will face a recall vote.

The campaign to remove him from office is backed by wealthy donors and has strong support from different communities, but it’s not deeply rooted in fact.

The basic premise for the recall: critics claim that crime is on the rise, and the DA’s embrace of decarceration — a policy that seeks to reduce the number of people we send to jail — is directly to blame. However, in 2021, just 4.2% of the incidents that were reported to SFPD resulted in an arrest, and many residents grumble that the police are on a wildcat strike.

To learn more about what’s really driving this recall, I interviewed Boudin and Mission Local Managing Editor Joe Eskenazi.

13. Reopening Great Highway: neighborhood politics vs. climate change

Saison 2 · Épisode 13

dimanche 19 septembre 2021 • Durée 18:15

In April 2020, about a month after San Francisco declared a state of emergency to slow the spread of COVID-19, city officials closed Great Highway, an expressway that runs along Ocean Beach. Over several months, it became the second-most popular recreation area in the city after Golden Gate Park.

But some residents didn’t like it -- detours shunted traffic onto adjacent side streets and added a few minutes to commuting times.

So, in August 2021, Mayor London Breed reopened Great Highway to vehicles, sparking an uproar among residents who took for granted that the experiment would be made permanent.

Today, I want to give you a sense of what it’s like to experience a familiar space from a new perspective, what the controversy says about San Francisco's neighborhood-based politics, and also — how hard it is to reclaim public space from automobiles.

12. A historic tragedy: inside San Francisco's school renaming initiative

Saison 2 · Épisode 12

mardi 16 février 2021 • Durée 17:50

In May 2018, San Francisco’s Board of Education adopted a resolution to create a formal plan for renaming the city’s public schools. The resolution specified that the process should be led by a blue-ribbon committee.

In January 2021, the board voted 6-1 to accept the committee’s recommendations to rename 44 schools, about a third of the city’s total. But after evidence emerged that the panel’s findings were based on poor methodology and historical inaccuracies, the controversy became national news.

For this episode, I interviewed Joe Eskenazi, who covered this story for Mission Local where he’s the managing editor.

To bring us inside the committee’s faulty decision-making process, you’ll also hear audio captured from their Zoom meetings, along with selections from a Google spreadsheet they created to justify their decisions.

11. Eight months into the pandemic, COVID-19 is surging in San Francisco

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

jeudi 26 novembre 2020 • Durée 16:11

Eight months after San Francisco became the first U.S. city to order its residents to shelter in place to stem the spread of COVID-19, the number of new coronavirus infections spiked in the last month.

The city is helping businesses ride out the pandemic’s economic impact by making it easier to operate outdoors, but more restrictions are likely in the coming weeks. And with many residents traveling for Thanksgiving despite the known risks, we may be looking at another surge just in time for Christmas.

10. From Matthew Johnson to George Floyd

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

lundi 22 juin 2020 • Durée 14:29

In September 1966, a white San Francisco police officer shot and killed Matthew Johnson, an unarmed 16-year-old Black boy in the Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood whom he suspected of stealing a car. Within hours, outrage stirred the community to action, culminating in a three-day uprising that saw widespread looting, a citywide curfew and 2,000 National Guard soldiers dispatched to keep order. The Bayview-Hunters Point uprising is far too big a story to condense for a single episode, but the parallels between the killings of Matthew Johnson and George Floyd are so strong, I couldn’t leave it alone.

9. Early days of the coronavirus

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

lundi 16 mars 2020 • Durée 17:29

As COVID-19 begins to spread via community contact in the Bay Area, San Francisco's government, businesses and residents are changing myriad aspects of daily life. From my perspective, this was the week the city really began to transform, so this episode examines some of the virus' early social, economic and emotional impacts.

As I posted on Twitter, "while we cope with the novel coronavirus, let’s temporarily change #SanFrancisco’s motto from oro en Paz, Fierro en Guerra (gold in peace, iron in war) to Lavos las Manos (wash your hands)."

8. The Tuesday Noon Siren

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

mardi 11 février 2020 • Durée 16:16

For decades, every Tuesday at noon, San Francisco residents heard a siren followed by a public safety message via a network of loudspeakers. In a city that was forged in a crucible of earthquakes and fire, the 15-second message was a reminder to prepare for the worst — even if many residents ignored it.

In December 2019, the city's Department of Emergency Management announced that it was taking the system offline for two years to improve reliability and security in an overhaul that could cost as much as $2.5 million. Now that the tradition has been interrupted, has the rhythm of city life lost a step? Also, who's likely to hear the Tuesday noon siren and what does it say about class and privilege?

And finally, what's in your earthquake kit?

7. Murder in Golden Gate Park (Part 2 of 2)

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mardi 26 novembre 2019 • Durée 29:31

In the conclusion to this two-part episode, crime reporter and author Vivian Ho reads the complete first chapter of Those Who Wander: America’s Lost Street Kids and talks about why she expanded her coverage of two murders that grabbed San Francisco's attention in October 2015 into a book.

"It just felt like a tragedy on all fronts, it was absolutely heartbreaking from the victims' perspectives — here was a young girl who was cut down as she was trying to figure out her life, as she was just starting off, and here was a man who was here to support his wife through chemo, they loved each other so much."

"You look at these three suspects and you just wonder what the hell happened, how did we get here, how did we get here as a society, where did we go wrong," she said.

6. Murder in Golden Gate Park (Part 1 of 2)

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

mardi 19 novembre 2019 • Durée 25:17

San Francisco’s street kids are highly visible and poorly understood.

No one has a firm grasp on how many of them live on our streets, as a good number are transient and belong to the community of “Travelers” who congregate in Haight-Ashbury.

Few residents view them as violent or a threat, however, which is why a 2015 crime spree committed by three young vagabonds in Golden Gate Park captured San Francisco’s attention. In this episode, crime reporter Vivian Ho discusses the case, which forms the basis for her book, Those Who Wander: America’s Lost Street Kids.

5. The Clinton Park Boulders

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

mercredi 30 octobre 2019 • Durée 24:19

In September 2019, a group of residents on a quiet street placed enormous boulders on their sidewalk to discourage homeless encampments and drug sales. But when city officials and politicians sided with the people who installed the hostile architecture, it sparked a debate about how San Francisco treats its homeless residents, who number in the thousands. Guest Joe Eskenazi, Managing Editor of Mission Local, covered the story extensively.

"There's a middle ground, and we have to find it," he said. "And our leaders have to take us there."
