A couple of years and one small Singer sewing machine later, that first sail became practice material for tote bags that Amato-Salvatierra would go on to sell under the brand name Ocean Beach Yacht Club, or OBYC. Each bag is cut and sewn from repurposed sails in Amato-Salvatierra's garage studio, and no two are exactly alike. He's been making them for more than ten years.

A few dozen supporters showed up for Saturday's decidedly unironic March for Billionaires protest, which was evenly matched by several members of the press and a group of activists one-upping the sympathizers with a satirical March for Trillionaires rally. As Mission Local reports, a small contingent of billionaire supporters, who claim they're not actually billionaires themselves, held a March for Billionaires protest at Alta Plaza Park in San Francisco's Pacific Heights Saturday morning.

Chants of "Benito! Benito! Benito!" erupted Thursday night as, one by one, 28 Bad Bunnies paraded through Tacolicious on Valencia Street. It was Mission Lotería's "Bad Bunny Lookalike Contest," held on the cusp of the reggaeton legend's Super Bowl LX halftime performance at Levi's Stadium, during times so politically trying that it is difficult to even keep track of each successive outrage. Arguably no crowd had ever been more ready for an excess of bunnies and badness.

Tesla, Elon Musk's electric vehicle company, has abandoned plans to operate an autonomous vehicle fleet charging station in Jackson Square, a rare sign of AV encroachment being rebuffed in San Francisco. A few months ago, the project looked likely to happen. On Nov. 13, the San Francisco Planning Commission granted Tesla conditional use authorization to convert a public parking garage at 825 Sansome St. into a part-public, part-private structure that would house electric vehicle charging stations. The plans included chargers for a fleet of autonomous vehicles.

According to Creely, an eyewitness said the driver of a grey Toyota Crown XLE had run a red light, causing the crash. The witness also told Creely that he spoke to the driver of the Toyota, who, after exiting the vehicle, said that he had crashed his car and asked to borrow a sweater. He was told no and then allegedly fled the scene on foot down 22nd Street toward Florida Street.

San Franciscans will descend upon Dolores Park on Friday afternoon to join the "ICE Out" walkouts and protest taking place in dozens of cities across the country today. Organizers are hoping to replicate the success of a "general strike" that took place on Jan. 23 in Minneapolis, when hundreds of businesses shut down and thousands of people filled the streets to lambast Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

For 50 years, the non-profit MCCLA at 25th and Mission has run arts programming from the four-story building it leased from the city for a dollar a year. The Arts Commission has also given them funding, with the expectation that they will raise more funds from donors, classes and events. This month, however, the Mission Cultural Center ran out of money and on Jan. 26 it closed indefinitely.

Following recent violent events in Minneapolis, a San Francisco bakery is selling cookies with anti-ICE messages on them, alongside Valentine's cookies with traditional Valentine's heart candy abbreviations on them.

And, all proceeds from the sale of the cookies is going to Community Action Network Minnesota.

"[...] even though the area's monthly housing costs are three times higher than the U.S. median ($2,693 compared to $943 nationally)," the report notes, the city "excels in other metrics, especially health, boasting excellent access to health care, universal access to exercise opportunities, and low smoking rates."

SF's 30-year-old Drug Court was intended for non-violent drug offenders to avoid jail for low-level drug crimes. But now people with pretty violent charges are sneaking in, and Supervisor Matt Dorsey ain't happy about it. San Francisco's Drug Court was established in 1995, and is meant as a diversion program so that low-level drug offenders can avoid normal court and jail, and instead get "services in the community designed to get them out of their drug and crime situations.

The Lower Pacific Heights Victorian at 1709 Broderick Street, which served as the façade of the Tanner's ' Full House ' home, has just sold for $4 million. Designed by Charles Lewis Hinkel and built in 1883, the home previously traded hands for $1.85 million in 2006, after which it was renovated, remodeled and expanded (down) to encompass 2,985 square feet of finished living space and a gate was added to keep the Full Housians, and Uncle Jesse, away from the repainted front door.
