"As Mayor Daniel Lurie's family zoning proposal makes its way through Board of Supervisors committees, it had a hearing Monday at the Land Use Committee, and the supervisors pretty much tabled all of their colleagues' proposed amendments that would provide tenant protections. Supervisors Myrna Melgar's amendments to protect rent-controlled housing from being destroyed for taller buildings survived the meeting, but Supervisor Connie Chan's amendments to lower some height limits and preserve historic districts are looking at an uncertain future.

"The Senate passed the bill to release the Epstein files Tuesday, just as the House had already done, and boy is that going to be an awkward signing ceremony for Donald Trump. [NBC News] A federal court just banned Texas from using its Trump-gerrymandered congressional maps in the 2026 midterms, so that may throw all of this redistricting talk into complete chaos.

SF Sketchfest released a multi-venue comedy lineup running January 15–February 1 that features a Women of SNL panel and appearances from Jenny Slate, John Hodgman, and Kids in the Hall. Sergey Brin's blimpy airship Pathfinder 1 was observed over the San Francisco skyline studying wind patterns and maritime conditions in the Golden Gate Strait. Mayor Daniel Lurie's family zoning proposal advanced through Board of Supervisors committees while many tenant-protection amendments were tabled; some amendments to protect rent-controlled housing survived while other height-limit and historic-preservation proposals face uncertain futures. Nationally, the Senate approved release of Epstein files and a court blocked Texas’s 2026 congressional maps.
