Today's riddle: what do you call a rabbit with fleas? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
1. With 30 Days To Go, Here's How SF Is Helping Hype Up The World Cup (patch.com) — With just a month until the 2026 World Cup, San Francisco is joining a Bay Area-wide celebration that includes flag-raisings, fan installations, and major public watch parties. Locals can expect a life-sized World Cup ball at Pier 39, a hologram welcome from Mayor Daniel Lurie at SFO, and large-scale viewing events at Pier 48 as the region hosts six matches at Levi’s Stadium.
2. Robbers Pose As Delivery Workers In 'Brazen, Violent' Spree Across Bay Area: DOJ (patch.com) — Federal prosecutors say three Tennessee men posed as delivery workers to violently target cryptocurrency owners in multiple cities, including San Francisco. According to the DOJ, the suspects allegedly used guns and restraints to force victims to access accounts, stealing millions before being arrested and held in federal custody, where they now face potential life sentences on kidnapping-related charges.
3. S.F. drug-free housing bill sent back to committee after doctors raise concerns (missionlocal.org) — San Francisco’s proposed “drug-free” supportive housing program hit a pause as Supervisor Matt Dorsey agreed to revise his bill after local doctors raised concerns about eviction protections for low-income tenants. The ordinance would shape future city-funded supportive housing options, offering sober-focused sites alongside housing where drug use alone can’t trigger eviction. Talks continue ahead of a key May 28 committee hearing.
4. Homelessness in San Francisco trending downward city data shows (ktvu.com) — San Franciscans are seeing a measurable drop in unsheltered homelessness, with city data showing the lowest levels in 15 years and far fewer tent encampments. City leaders, including Mayor Daniel Lurie, credit coordinated programs and Prop C funding but warn looming budget challenges could threaten progress, even as new initiatives like Breaking the Cycle and Journey Home expand services on local streets.
5. Sunset Community Responds to N-Judah Renovations Set to Begin Next Year (richmondsunsetnews.com) — If you rely on the N-Judah, major upgrades between Church and Duboce and Ocean Beach are being planned, and SFMTA is actively seeking Sunset residents’ feedback right now. The project could start as soon as 2027, with “quick fixes” first and heavier construction later, so sharing your concerns about safety, stop spacing, and business impacts may shape what happens on your block.
