Tues Aug 26th: Award-winning journalists discuss the City budget

We are excited to feature at our next meeting Managing Editor, columnist and investigative reporter Joe Eskenazi (left) and data reporter Kelly Waldron of acclaimed independent local news outlet Mission Local. They will discuss the City budget: who kind of won, who really lost, and where that leaves us (hey, anyone notice the climate is still changing?). Moderator will be Boosters president and PHDC board member J.R. Eppler.

PHDC will join Potrero Boosters Neighborhood Association, in-person on their regular 4th Tuesday instead of our  regular 1st Tuesday.

Potrero Boosters & Potrero Hill Democratic Club, Tuesday, August 26, 7pm

In-person: Dogpatch Hub, 1278 Minnesota St. Remote access available: Zoom link

Tues April 1st: Transit in trouble – no fooling!

A great city must have great public transit. But San Francisco, despite calling itself a “transit first” city, finds its public transit in a sort of budgetary doom loop: service cuts which mean decreased ridership which means less money which means more cuts… Solutions have been proposed at the city, regional, and state levels (new federal money is of course off the table for now). To hear all about it, ask your questions and add your 2¢, please join our guests:

  • Edward Wright, BART Director District 9; former Transit Strategy & Communications advisor for the SFMTA 
  • Jaime Viloria, SF Transit Riders Outreach & Organizing Manager
