Tenderloin Buzz: People's budget, dog bites, and a new but old landmark

The Tenderloin is experiencing severe budget cuts, leading to the planned closure of essential clinics. The People's Budget Coalition is organizing a town hall to address community needs and priorities. Supervisor Bilal Mahmood aims to designate 111 Taylor as a historical landmark, protecting its façade. Additionally, dog bites have increased in the area, prompting calls for a hearing officer to resume the city's vicious dog court. The community is urged to participate in shaping the budget and addressing local issues.

"The People's Budget Coalition is hosting a town hall to create a 'people's budget' focused on the Tenderloin's needs and priorities, including a Budget 101 session."

"Mahmood wants to make 111 Taylor, the birthplace of the transgender resistance movement in the Tenderloin, a historical landmark, protecting its façade from changes."

"Dog bites have been on the rise in the Tenderloin, leading Supervisor Stephen Sherill to call for hiring a hearing officer to reactivate the city's vicious dog court."
