"During the encounter, an officer-involved shooting occurred."</p><p>The suspect who was driving the vehicle and allegedly fired the shots attempteed to flee the scene on the foot, the department says, but was apprehended nearby. The passenger in the vehicle sustained life-threatening injuries in the shootout.</p><p>SFPD officers recovered to guns following the shootout.</p><p>As <a href="https://missionlocal.org/2026/06/sfpd-robbery-suspects-exchange-gunfire-cop-and-suspect-both-shot/">Mission Local reports</a> via ShotSpotter data, a total of 19 shots were fired from "high-capacity" weapons.</p><p>The police officers' union issued a statement Monday morning saying, "The San Francisco Police Officers Association is profoundly relieved to learn that the San Francisco police officer who was shot multiple times in the line of duty Sunday night is expected to survive. The officer is currently in surgery."</p><p>Neither the names of the suspects nor the officers involved have been released.</p><p>The incident will be investigated by the San Francisco Police Department Investigative Services Division, as well as the District Attorney's Office and the SFPD Internal Affairs Division.</p><p><em>Top image: Photo via Getty Images</em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Saturday Links: New ICE Detention Center Operated By GEO Group Opens In Central Valley]]></title><description><![CDATA[A man with a machete was spotted on surveillance footage in San Jose and hasn’t been caught; service on the Bayview Community Shuttle has been extended for two years; and a new ICE facility operated by the GEO Group opened in the Central Valley.]]></description><link>https://sfist.com/2026/04/25/saturday-links-new-ice-detention-center-opens-in-central-valley/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69ed01967aa44743a30f0960</guid><category><![CDATA[SF News]]></category><category><![CDATA[morning links]]></category><category><![CDATA[copper theft]]></category><category><![CDATA[machete]]></category><category><![CDATA[bayview]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Leanne Maxwell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 18:10:44 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://img.sfist.com/2026/04/Palm-Tree-Union-Square-Leanne-Maxwell.jpg" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<ul><li>A new, 700-bed ICE detention facility operated by the GEO Group just opened in the Central Valley town of McFarland — the second one to open in California since President Donald Trump took office last year.

Dumetz pleaded to attempted murder and was sentenced to seven years, and Martin-Turner pleaded guilty to assault with a semiautomatic weapon, and he was sentenced to six years. </p><p>The remaining two have taken pleas, Phillip Stewart, 33, and Jahari Oliver, 28, have also pleaded to assault with a semiautomatic weapon, and will likely also get six-year sentences at a hearing on Wednesday.</p><p>"These convictions and sentences hold these men accountable for a brazen mid-afternoon drive-by shooting," said SF District Attorney Brooke Jenkins in a statement to reporters, <a href="https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/four-convicted-in-san-francisco-drive-by-shooting/">per KRON4</a>. "Although, I am grateful no lives were lost in this incident, it should be clear to them that gun violence will never be normalized nor tolerated in San Francisco. Anyone with the intention of coming to San Francisco to engage in violence, with the belief that they will get off with no consequences is mistaken.”</p><p>The four men were accused of leaving a residence in Oakland, together, and traveling to San Francisco in two vehicles, with Martin-Turner driving a Hyundai, and Stewart driving an Infiniti G37. An hour later, the group then showered bullets into a home on Donner Avenue while shooting at the victim, who was reportedly talking to a person in a car on the street at the time. The victim was struck in the thigh and no one else was injured.</p><p>The FBI, Oakland police, and ATF aided in the investigation, which involved the execution of search warrants in seven locations around the Bay in February 2024. Those searches led to the seizure of multiple illegal firearms, including eight handguns and a rifle.</p><p>In her comments, Jenkins added, "We have seen an uptick in the regional nature of these particular types of crimes. I think much of that is linked to both affordability issues here in San Francisco, gentrification, [and] other factors that have caused people to move outside of San Francisco into other parts of the Bay Area, but yet their criminal activity is still connected to San Francisco."</p><p><em>Top image: <em>Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images</em></em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bayview Residents Quite Pleased That Their Sewage Treatment Plant Smells Less Terrible These Days]]></title><description><![CDATA[A new sculpture makes the Bayview’s Southeast Treatment Plant easier on the eyes, but more importantly, a $717 million upgrade just made it easier on the nose for people who live near SF’s largest wastewater treatment plant.]]></description><link>https://sfist.com/2026/02/02/bayview-residents-quite-pleased-that-their-sewage-treatment-plant-smells-less-terrible-these-days/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69811954b79f5f2cc4680752</guid><category><![CDATA[SF News]]></category><category><![CDATA[bayview]]></category><category><![CDATA[bayview district]]></category><category><![CDATA[wastewater treatment facility]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joe Kukura]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 02 Feb 2026 22:20:00 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://img.sfist.com/2026/02/SFAC_Sato-364-Edit.jpg" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://img.sfist.com/2026/02/SFAC_Sato-364-Edit.jpg" alt="Bayview Residents Quite Pleased That Their Sewage Treatment Plant Smells Less Terrible These Days"><p>A new sculpture makes the Bayview’s Southeast Treatment Plant easier on the eyes, but more importantly, a $717 million upgrade just made it easier on the nose for people who live near SF’s largest wastewater treatment plant.</p><p>San Franciscans may be more aware of the Lake Merced-area wastewater treatment plant<strong> </strong>known as the Oceanside Treatment Plant because of a whimsical 2008 protest ballot measure effort to <a href="https://sfist.com/2008/07/17/breaking_news_george_w_bush_sewage/">name that sewage plant after George W. Bush</a>. But the Bayview’s Southeast Treatment Plant is a far more significant sewage treatment plant, <a href="https://www.sfpuc.gov/construction-contracts/construction-projects/new-headworks-facility">purifying a full 80% of SF’s wastewater</a>.</p><p>And the place just <a href="https://www.sf.gov/news-mayor-lurie-cuts-ribbon-on-modernized-wastewater-treatment-plant-in-bayview">received a $717 million upgrade</a> that was completed in September. Part of that upgrade was a 335-foot long sculpture by artist Norie Sato, intended to make the exterior less ugly. But another aspect to the upgrade was the addition of new equipment to “significantly reduce odors for the Bayview neighborhood.”</p><p>So did it work? Now four months after the upgrade was completed, Mission Local reports that Bayview residents do feel that the wastewater treatment plant <a href="https://missionlocal.org/2026/02/sf-bayview-foul-odo-fading/">smells substantially less awful</a>. </p><p>Or rather, it’s an improvement, but not necessarily a complete elimination of the foul smells. “It’s not smelly all the time,” Alijah Mestayer-Orollo, who works in the neighborhood, told Mission Local. “But there’s definitely a couple days in a row where it’s still hella smelly.”</p><p>The plant was built in 1952, and mitigation of odors was simply not considered an important factor at the time. Whereas now, the Southeast Treatment Plant handles 45 million gallons of wastewater generally every day, and during peak storm times, can handle 250 million gallons daily. Given those volumes of wastewater, the relief to Bayview residents should be substantial.  </p><p><strong>Related: </strong><a href="https://sfist.com/2014/03/19/photo_du_jour_southeast_wastewater/">Photo Du Jour: Southeast Wastewater Treatment Plant [SFist]</a></p><p><em>Image: </em><a href="https://www.sfpuc.gov/construction-contracts/construction-projects/new-headworks-facility"><em>SFPUC</em></a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lucky Supermarket in Bayview Is Closing November 1, Just Three Years After Its Grand Opening]]></title><description><![CDATA[Nearly three years to the day after its highly touted grand opening, the Bayview Lucky Supermarket is closing permanently on November 1, and leaving a big grocery-store size hole in the food desert neighborhood.]]></description><link>https://sfist.com/2025/09/19/the-lucky-supermarket-in-bayview-is-closing-november-1-just-three-years-after-its-grand-opening/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68cdafffb783980b03977aaa</guid><category><![CDATA[SF News]]></category><category><![CDATA[lucky supermarkets]]></category><category><![CDATA[bayview]]></category><category><![CDATA[bayview district]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joe Kukura]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 19 Sep 2025 19:40:00 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://img.sfist.com/2025/09/lucky-bayview.jpg" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://img.sfist.com/2025/09/lucky-bayview.jpg" alt="The Lucky Supermarket in Bayview Is Closing November 1, Just Three Years After Its Grand Opening"><p>Nearly three years to the day after its highly touted grand opening, the Bayview Lucky Supermarket is closing permanently on November 1, and leaving a big grocery-store size hole in the food desert neighborhood.</p><p>People have referred to SF’s Bayview District as a "food desert" for years, and that is also the actual assessment of the area from the federal government. While the US Department of Agriculture technically no longer uses the term “food desert,” they’ve replaced it with the term “low-income, low-access” food area, and gave the Bayview that designation in 2019. That’s why it was a big deal when a <a href="https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/san-francisco/san-francisco-bayview-new-supermarket/3059858/">Lucky Supermarket opened at 3801 Third Street</a> in the Bayview Plaza, a spot formerly occupied by a Walgreens, on October 26, 2022. </p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOubNF5j0B-/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style=" background:#FFF;

<script async src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p><br>But it will barely survive just three years. KPIX has confirmed District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOubNF5j0B-/">Thursday Instagram post</a> that the <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/lucky-grocery-close-san-francisco-bayview-district/">Bayview Lucky Supermarket is closing</a>, effective November 1, 2025.</p><p>The Chronicle <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/article/lucky-supermarket-bayview-closing-21055450.php">also got confirmation</a> from a store manager and a spokesperson from Lucky’s parent corporation Save Mart. KPIX additionally reports that employees of the store will be offered positions at other stores, though only “ based on seniority and availability.”</p><p>Bayview Lucky shoppers were disappointed in the news, though maybe not necessarily shocked. </p><p>"I notice when I go in there is very little staff," longtime Bayview worker Anthony Davenport told KPIX. “It is so minimal in there, that was always concerning to me. I wondered how long it would last and it seems like they were set up to just kind of try something."</p><p>Supervisor Walton told KPIX he would not take this laying down.</p><p>"We're going to fight to make sure this store remains," he said to the station. "Again, we've been in this position before, and if, for some reason, Lucky does decide to leave, we're gonna fight like hell to make sure that we bring another grocery store into the plaza."</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOymD8CgAyt/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style=" background:#FFF;

Tyrell was not involved in gangs in any way. He was a bright, loving, and intelligent young man with his whole life ahead of him. He had just received his driver’s permit and a brand new car—something he was so excited about. Tyrell had already earned all of his high school credits and didn’t need to attend summer school. He was focused, motivated, and full of potential. Born and raised in Antioch, California since the age of three, Tyrell grew up surrounded by family and community. He was known for his affectionate nature and deep love for those around him. If you knew Tyrell, you knew how much he loved to laugh, connect with others, and simply enjoy life. Tyrell brought people together he was loving, caring, and so kind to everyone who he became in contact with. On July 4th, Tyrell came to San Francisco to celebrate with family and friends. He was just trying to enjoy the holiday, like any kid would. But his life was senselessly taken from us. We are asking for your support during this heartbreaking time to help cover funeral expenses, memorial arrangements, and to honor Tyrell the way he deserves. Any donation, no matter the size, means the world to our family. Tyrell deserved so much more. He was loved, he was cherished, and he will never be forgotten. Thank you for your prayers, support, and love.

He attended that evening block party, though gunfire broke out as part of a dispute that Washington apparently had nothing to do with.</p><p>"He was at the wrong place at the wrong time and got hit in the crossfire along with other people," his cousin Lakisha Pettus told KTVU. “My cousin didn't deserve that. He was a good kid. To know him was to love him.”</p><p>SFPD confirms that five people were shot in the incident, two minors and two adults in addition to Washington. But the 15-year-old Washington is the only victim who did not survive, and was pronounced dead at the scene.</p><p>His family has established a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/honor-tyrells-memory-support-funeral-costs">GoFundMe for Tyrell Washington’s funeral costs</a>. “He had just received his driver’s permit and a brand new car — something he was so excited about,” the GoFundMe campaign says. “Tyrell had already earned all of his high school credits and didn’t need to attend summer school.

As the <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/sf-pedestrian-death-hit-run-bayview-20325445.php">Chronicle reports</a>, the man was declared dead at the scene by paramedics, and no further information has been made available.</p><p>The victim's name has not yet been made public.</p><p>Pedestrian advocacy organization Walk SF noted in <a href="https://walksf.org/news/for-reporters/press-releases/media-advisory-pedestrian-killed-at-bayshore-boulevard-and-jerrold-avenue-sixth-pedestrian-death-2025/">a release</a> that this was the sixth pedestrian death of the year to date in the city. And a man was killed in a hit-and-run at this same intersection five years ago, in July 2020.</p><p>"The intersection where the crash occurred is sandwiched between on-and-off ramps linking local streets to US Route 101," Walk SF says. "It is also where Bayshore Boulevard transitions into Potero Avenue, creating a complex network of freeway ramps and bridges."</p><p>The organization also notes that Bayshore Boulevard is on the city’s 2022 "high-injury network" map.</p><p>"People who live, work, and walk near highways face even greater safety risks when getting around," says Jodie Medeiros, executive director of Walk San Francisco. "Too often, drivers act like they’re on the freeway when in reality they are on neighborhood streets. Every possible safety improvement is needed in these areas to protect pedestrians."</p><p>This area of Bayshore Boulevard is in the process of getting some safety improvements designed, Walk SF notes, as part of the SFMTA's <a href="https://www.sfmta.com/projects/cesar-chavezpotrero-avebayshore-blvd-intersection-improvements-hairball">Cesar Chavez/Potrero Ave/Bayshore Blvd Intersection Improvements</a> project.</p><p>A total of 24 pedestrians were killed on San Francisco streets in 2024, the highest number in any year since 2007 — marking a setback in the city's <a href="https://www.visionzerosf.org/">Vision Zero</a> goal, which has not been renewed since 2021.</p><p>Says Medeiros, "City leaders may want to ignore something that some view as a failure. But a lack of progress on Vision Zero is a collective leadership failure, not a failure of Vision Zero."</p><p>This 47-year-old man is the first pedestrian victim so far this year who was not a senior citizen — with all five of the recorded pedestrian deaths in SF in 2025 being people over the age of 70.</p><p>Last week <a href="https://sfist.com/2025/05/07/victims-of-two-pedestrian-collisions-id/">we noted two recent pedestrian deaths</a>, the victims both being elderly women. 86-year-old Mary Naito was killed in a hit-and-run while crossing the street at Fillmore and McAllister streets on April 25, and 75-year-old San Francisco resident Annabella Gabriel Barquera was killed along with her dog while crossing the street in broad daylight at Howard and Seventh streets on May 1.</p><p>No arrests have been made in Monday's crash. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the SFPD tip line at (415) 575-4444 or to send a tip by text message to TIP411 with SFPD at the start of the message.</p><p><em>Photo via Google Street View</em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Four People Injured In Bayview Shooting Late Sunday Afternoon, Suspect Still at Large]]></title><description><![CDATA[A Sunday afternoon shooting near India Basin Waterfront Park left four people hospitalized, though it’s still not clear what the motive was, and the shooter or shooters are still at large. ]]></description><link>https://sfist.com/2025/03/31/four-people-injured-in-bayview-shooting-late-sunday-afternoon-suspect-still-at-large/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">67eac87121c08f0ee4bac842</guid><category><![CDATA[SF News]]></category><category><![CDATA[shooting]]></category><category><![CDATA[shootings]]></category><category><![CDATA[bayview]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joe Kukura]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2025 16:58:57 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://img.sfist.com/2025/03/bayview-shooting-2.jpg" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://img.sfist.com/2025/03/bayview-shooting-2.jpg" alt="Four People Injured In Bayview Shooting Late Sunday Afternoon, Suspect Still at Large"><p>A Sunday afternoon shooting near India Basin Waterfront Park left four people hospitalized, though it’s still not clear what the motive was, and the shooter or shooters are still at large. </p><p>SFPD and paramedics responded to reports of a <a href="https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/multiple-people-injured-after-shooting-in-sfs-bayview-neighborhood/">shooting in the Bayview late Sunday afternoon</a> at about 4:50 pm between Middle Point Road and Ironwood Way, as KRON4 reports. Upon arrival, they found one victim with gunshot wounds, and transported that individual to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.</p><p>But according to KTVU, <a href="https://www.ktvu.com/news/sf-shooting-4-injured">three other people were also injured there</a> in what is believed to be the same incident, bringing the total number of victims to four. The three other victims managed to transport themselves to hospitals, and their conditions are unknown.</p><p>There are currently no suspects identified, nor a description, and the motive for the shootings remains unclear.</p><p>It’s also not certain whether all four victims were shot. According to KRON4, “SFPD was not able to confirm if the three others injured were due to gunshot wounds.”</p><p>If you have any information on this incident, you’re asked to call the SFPD tip line at (415) 575-4444, or text a tip to TIP411 and begin the message with “SFPD.” Tipsters can remain anonymous. </p><p><strong>Related:</strong><a href="https://sfist.com/2025/02/03/shots-fired-near-16th-and-mission-minutes-after-mayors-press-event-with-wiener/"> Shots Fired Near 16th and Mission Minutes After Mayor's Press Event With Wiener [SFist]</a></p><p><em>Image: Google Street View</em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[It’s Curtains for the Bayview RV Triage Center, Closing Today After Blowing Through $15 Million]]></title><description><![CDATA[Once dubbed "by far the most expensive homeless response intervention” in SF history, the Bayview RV Triage Center is being shut down today, after a three-year run of pricey logistical snafus and frankly very little usage.]]></description><link>https://sfist.com/2025/03/03/its-curtains-for-the-bayview-rv-triage-center-closing-today-after-blowing-through-15-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">67c648b9cf1f670d67d0a0f3</guid><category><![CDATA[SF News]]></category><category><![CDATA[bayview]]></category><category><![CDATA[homelessness]]></category><category><![CDATA[homeless shelter]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joe Kukura]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:30:44 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://img.sfist.com/2025/03/rv-3.jpeg" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://img.sfist.com/2025/03/rv-3.jpeg" alt="It’s Curtains for the Bayview RV Triage Center, Closing Today After Blowing Through $15 Million"><p>Once dubbed "by far the most expensive homeless response intervention” in SF history, the Bayview RV Triage Center is being shut down today, after a three-year run of pricey logistical snafus and frankly very little usage.</p><p>It was a little over three years ago, during the <a href="https://sfist.com/2022/01/01/san-francisco-poised-for-undeniable-hospital-surge-of-covid-19-cases/">very dark January 2022 days</a> of the pandemic, that San Francisco opened the Bayview RV Triage Center in hopes of providing <a href="https://sfist.com/2022/03/12/deaths-among-unhoused-individuals-in-sf-doubled-during-first-year-of-covid-19-pandemic/">safe accommodations for the homeless population</a>. It was not a success right out of the gate, nor really at any point after leaving the gate. RV dwellers <a href="https://sfist.com/2022/01/21/bayview-rv-lot-for-homeless-opens-but-many-resist-moving-in-for-lack-of-electricity-resources/">initially refused to move there</a>, for its lack of electricity and a ban on propane tanks. And a <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/sf-homeless-crisis-rv-site-high-costs-18404155.php">2023 Chronicle exposé </a>dubbed the facility <a href="https://sfist.com/2024/12/06/the-bayview-vehicle-triage-center-will-close-up-for-good-in-march/">SF’s “‘most expensive homeless response’ ever</a>” for its $15 million price tag on a place that only hosted about 30 vehicles at a time. </p><p>So we learned in December that the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (DHS) that operates the facility was <a href="https://sfist.com/2024/12/06/the-bayview-vehicle-triage-center-will-close-up-for-good-in-march/">planning to pull the plug on the Bayview Vehicle Triage Center</a> sometime by March 2025. And something is actually happening on time with this project, as NBC Bay Area reports that the RV center is <a href="https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/san-francisco/san-francisco-safe-parking-site-to-close/3805943/">demanding everyone be out by the end of today</a>. </p><p>"I think that that's what government is supposed to do," DHS deputy director Emily Cohen <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/bayview-vehicle-triage-center-closure-residents-impact/">told KPIX</a>. "If something's not working, you're supposed to end it and move on. Like, we don't want to just keep doing something that is demonstrating that it's not working." </p><p>Per NBC Bay Area, everyone staying at the site has been offered housing, alternative shelter, relocation assistance, or some form of rental subsidies. A few stragglers will be allowed to stay a bit longer if their housing deals are still being finalized. But obviously, many of these people may not have the means to get their vehicles out of there, so there may be quite a mess left behind. </p><p>"I'm going to have to find a place for the vehicle in the interim," resident Aaron Wilson told KPIX. "I have to get it registered and then I can have it for sale, right? And in that time I have to hope it doesn't get broken into. That's why they call this safe parking, break-ins to RVs is very common in San Francisco, it's almost assured. If you leave and they've been watching it you open yourself up."</p><p>Still, the costs for this facility were staggering.

And that includes the Toland Street warehouse in San Francisco’s Bayview District, where workers <a href="https://sfist.com/2024/10/02/sf-amazon-workers-at-bayview-warehouse-vote-to-unionize-ball-now-in-amazons-court/">voted to unionize a couple months back</a>. The workers say that the trillion-dollar company ignored their December 15 deadline to negotiate better wages and health care, and they’ve gone on strike across the country.</p><p>Let’s take a look at how things are going at the Amazon strike in New York.  </p><div align="center" style="width:100%; max-width:100%"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">NYPD out here in Queens doing Amazon’s bidding by roughing up and arresting workers who are standing up for themselves.

The Teamsters say they represent 10,000 people at ten US facilities, but an Amazon spokesperson claims this simply is not true, and that the Teamsters "have continued to intentionally mislead the public" by claiming they have 10,000 members.</p><p>"They don't," Amazon spokesperson Eileen Hards said in a statement picked up by KTVU. "And this is another attempt to push a false narrative. The truth is that the Teamsters have actively threatened, intimidated, and attempted to coerce Amazon employees and third-party drivers to join them, which is illegal and is the subject of multiple pending unfair labor practice charges against the union."</p><p>Notice her reference to “third-party drivers.” That means they’re contractors, working in Amazon uniforms and driving Amazon trucks, but they actually work <em>for</em> someone else. Use of contractors is a classic 21st Century method of excluding large parts of a company’s workforce from the salary and benefit structures that their actual employees enjoy. So this strike may be precedent-setting in terms of whether a company would accept demands from workers who they need, but technically do not employ.</p><div align="center" style="width:100%; max-width:100%"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Hundreds of workers at an Amazon facility in San Francisco have joined a nationwide Teamsters strike for union recognition at the company. <a href="https://t.co/uYUyLPAAIn">https://t.co/uYUyLPAAIn</a> <a href="https://t.co/YRr64wH5a0">pic.twitter.com/YRr64wH5a0</a></p>&mdash; NBC Bay Area (@nbcbayarea) <a href="https://twitter.com/nbcbayarea/status/1869778497570209990?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 19, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div><p><br>NBC Bay Area describes the SF strike as <a href="https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/san-francisco/sf-amazon-workers-join-strike/3740658/?_osource=SocialFlowTwt_BAYBrand">involving “hundreds” of workers</a>, and the Teamsters are touting this as the largest strike against Amazon ever in the US.

One of these solutions was an <a href="https://sfist.com/2022/01/21/bayview-rv-lot-for-homeless-opens-but-many-resist-moving-in-for-lack-of-electricity-resources/">RV triage center at Candlestick Point</a> that opened in 2022, but it was <a href="https://sfist.com/2023/10/04/bayview-rv-triage-center-extension-approved-but-critics-howling-over-its-very-high-cost/">little-used and incredibly costly</a>. </p><p>So now, nearly three years later, the Chronicle reports that the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (DHS) is <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/homeless-parking-site-close-19962351.php">pulling the plug on the Bayview Vehicle Triage Center</a>, and everyone will have to get their vehicles out of there by some point in March.</p><p>This is ironic, because the site <a href="https://sfist.com/2024/10/31/nearly-three-years-after-it-opened-bayview-rv-triage-site-finally-gets-electricity/">just got its PG&amp;E power hook-ups five weeks ago</a>, after not having full power for nearly three years. On top of that, DHS is decommissioning the site a full nine months before the city’s lease on the place is up, after it was underutilized and suffered a series of logistical snafus.  </p><p>“We’re really not in the business of running RV parks, and that was very clear to us in this process,” DHS executive director Shireen McSpadden told the Chronicle. </p><p>The site was originally supposed to accommodate more than 150 RVs, but fire marshall limited it to just 35. It only ended up serving about 30 vehicles at a time, with an unknown number of residents in those vehicles.</p><p>And the program blew through $15.5 million of city and state funding over this nearly three years. The Chronicle reported on a <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/sf-homeless-crisis-rv-site-high-costs-18404155.php">city budget report in 2023</a> which noted that “assuming an ongoing capacity of 35 vehicles per night, the cost per vehicle is approximately $140,000 per year, which is by far the most expensive homeless response intervention.”</p><p>Indeed, the city was spending $275 a night per RV there, whereas one night at the adjacent Candlestick RV Park costs only $145 per night.</p><p>When the program expires, the DHS hopes to transition people into permanent housing “or provide them with other support such as vehicle repairs,” according to the Chronicle. But the RV-dwelling crowd tends to resist housing support, because they do not consider themselves homeless, and are fine with their status quo. The city is also considering temporary vouchers for existing RV parks in the area, or safe parking spots at other shelter sites that are yet to open.</p><p>This is an issue, because people living in vehicles are the <a href="https://sfist.com/2024/03/13/city-vows-to-crack-on-bernal-heights-rv-encampment-which-has-been-growing-in-recent-months/">fastest-growing segment</a> of the SF homeless population. <a href="https://sfist.com/2024/05/16/unsheltered-homeless-population-in-sf-nearly-unchanged-since-2022-overall-number-rises-7-percent/">The latest homeless point-in-time count</a> showed nearly 1,500 people living in vehicles in SF, a 37% increase over the previous count.</p><p>The sad thing is that the closure of this Bayview Triage Center will put even more vehicle-dwellers out on the streets. The upside, in this case, is that there are so few people using this facility that it will not appreciably increase that population of vehicle-dwellers on the streets.</p><p><strong>Related: </strong><a href="https://sfist.com/2022/01/21/bayview-rv-lot-for-homeless-opens-but-many-resist-moving-in-for-lack-of-electricity-resources/">Bayview RV Lot for Homeless Opens, But Many Resist Moving in For Lack of Electricity Resources [SFist]</a></p><p><em>Image: Candlestick Rv Park </em><a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/candlestick-rv-park-san-francisco"><em>via Yelp</em></a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[San Francisco Sees Two Homicides In a Single Day, Including Mission District Stabbing]]></title><description><![CDATA[There were two separate homicides in San Francisco on the day after Thanksgiving, including a fatal stabbing in the heart of the Mission District. ]]></description><link>https://sfist.com/2024/12/02/san-francisco-sees-two-homicides-in-a-single-day-including-mission-district-stabbing/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">674deed0c7870a68a75f8857</guid><category><![CDATA[SF News]]></category><category><![CDATA[homicides]]></category><category><![CDATA[homicide count]]></category><category><![CDATA[Mission District]]></category><category><![CDATA[bayview]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jay Barmann]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 02 Dec 2024 17:50:57 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://img.sfist.com/2024/12/mission-and-sycamore-sf.jpg" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://img.sfist.com/2024/12/mission-and-sycamore-sf.jpg" alt="San Francisco Sees Two Homicides In a Single Day, Including Mission District Stabbing"><p>There were two separate homicides in San Francisco on the day after Thanksgiving, including a fatal stabbing in the heart of the Mission District. </p><p>The stabbing occurred around 6:25 am Friday in the area of Mission and Sycamore streets, according to an SFPD release.
