Comedian John Mulaney returned to San Francisco - which he once dubbed "a city that isn't nice" - with a much warmer tone on Thursday, his first of three nights at the Masonic. Mulaney opened the show by reminiscing on his history with San Francisco, including his first gig at the Punch Line and his first 2,000-person show at Davies Symphony Hall. However, he remembered one of his most recent sets in the city with a little less warmth.

Detective Charles Nieuwendyk is back. The professor-turned-undercover agent played by Ted Danson in the hit Netflix show "A Man on the Inside" returns this week for a second season, where he aims his investigative eye at a Bay Area college. Inspired by the Chilean documentary "The Mole Agent," the first season of "A Man on the Inside" created by Mike Schur ("Parks and Recreation") was one of the most San Francisco-centric TV shows in years.

Those structures are - or were - earthquake shacks, also known as earthquake cottages or refugee cottages. With the help of the Army, the city built the shacks in the wake of the 1906 earthquake, which left 225,000 San Franciscans without homes. They placed the tiny, one-room cottages in city parks, and residents whose homes had been destroyed paid $2 a month to live in them. At one point, more than 16,000 people lived in the shacks - approximately three for every 250-square-foot dwelling.

With Tuesday's announcement that Align, the same developer behind the project to redevelop the Fillmore Safeway property, was working to potentially redevelop the Ocean Beach Safeway in similar fashion, we surmised there could be a larger strategy at play.

The SF Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to approve a new affordable-housing program based in a new building on mid-Market Street that would be dedicated to housing artists and creative types who are largely being priced out of the city. "The story of San Francisco cannot be told without its artists," says Supervisor Rafael Mandelman in a statement. "This program is an important step toward honoring that legacy and ensuring artists remain at the heart of our city's future."

The department reported that a "high speed motor vehicle accident" had occurred, and images from the scene show two of the vehicles ended up facing downhill on Broderick Street toward Lombard.
