📰 News we're reading

1. SF Infant Diagnosed With Measles As CA Cases Continue To Spike (patch.com) — San Francisco health officials have confirmed the city’s first measles case since 2019 in an unvaccinated infant who was exposed abroad and is now recovering at home. While the overall public risk is considered low, the case comes amid a statewide spike in measles and renewed warnings from San Francisco’s health officer for residents, especially international travelers, to ensure they are up to date on MMR vaccinations.    

2. Missing 80-Year-Old Woman With Dementia Last Seen In San Francisco (patch.com) — San Francisco police are asking residents to help locate 80-year-old Indira Shrestha, a Nepalese woman with dementia who disappeared Wednesday morning from her home on Leavenworth Street. She speaks only Nepali and is known to frequent Huntington Park, and authorities urge anyone who sees her or has information to call 911 or a dedicated tip line immediately.    

3. SF Couple Accused Of Murder In Toddler Overdose Case (patch.com) — San Francisco prosecutors have charged a local couple with second-degree murder after their two-year-old died from acute fentanyl toxicity in their 18th Street home, marking the city’s first murder case tied to a fentanyl overdose. Authorities describe disturbing conditions around the child’s body and say both parents had high levels of fentanyl and methamphetamine, prompting the district attorney to warn city parents about keeping children away from drugs.    

4. Implications of California College of the Arts Closure Becoming Clearer (potreroview.net) — San Francisco’s arts community faces a major shakeup as California College of the Arts prepares to close and its San Francisco campus shifts to Vanderbilt University, threatening hundreds of local jobs and key cultural institutions. With CCA and the San Francisco Art Institute gone, faculty, students, and neighborhood businesses tied to CCA housing and galleries are scrambling to adapt, raising questions about the future of the city’s nonprofit art ecosystem.    

5. Cruise Ship Visits Limited by Emissions Requirements, Market Demand (potreroview.net) — If you’re watching cruise ships along the waterfront, strict emissions rules now largely determine which vessels can plug into shore power at San Francisco’s Pier 27 and which are diverted to Piers 35 or 80. The Port is still setting passenger records, with dozens of scheduled calls through 2028, as cleaner, shore‑power‑ready ships increasingly serve the city as a gateway to Alaska.
