📰 News we're reading

1. A Hidden Fine Dining Restaurant Is Serving Up A $19 Steak In This CA City (patch.com) — San Franciscans looking for an affordable splurge can book a $19 bavette steak lunch at Chef’s Table, the student-run fine dining restaurant at City College of San Francisco. Tucked inside Smith Hall on Frida Kahlo Way, the program showcases local farms and vendors during limited weekday lunch services through May 14, with reservations already booked out for April.    

2. E-Commerce Giants Leaving San Francisco Office (patch.com) — San Francisco workers at eBay’s 300 Mission Street office face a big change as the company plans to close the location when its lease ends on September 30, relocating 198 employees to San Jose rather than laying them off. The move adds to ongoing shifts in the city’s downtown office landscape, coming shortly after eBay’s global layoffs and a major acquisition.    

3. 5 displaced from their home after San Francisco Outer Sunset fire (ktvu.com) — Five people were forced from their home after a one-alarm fire Wednesday night in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset, at a building under construction on the 1700 block of 31st Avenue. Fire crews contained the blaze to the roof by 7:05 p.m., no injuries were reported, and the Red Cross is assisting those displaced while investigators work to determine the cause.    

4. Dozens of SFUSD employees are missing money from their retirement accounts (kalw.org) — San Francisco Unified School District employees are discovering thousands of dollars missing from their retirement accounts, potentially affecting nearly a thousand union members. Many of those shorted are lower-wage, non-teaching staff, and the district has yet to explain how widespread the problem is or how much money is involved.    

5. California hospitals cut jobs amid staffing shortages (scotscoop.com) — California hospitals are cutting staff as Medi-Cal and Medicaid funding changes squeeze budgets, a trend that could mean longer waits and more crowded ERs for San Francisco patients too. Local history of staffing strikes at Sutter facilities in San Francisco highlights how nurses say cuts can create unsafe conditions and burnout, especially in critical care units.
