San Francisco Boomers Are Moving To This Lovely Outdoorsy City Just Under An Hour From Lake Tahoe

When Bay Area baby boomers — that's anyone born between 1946 and 1964 — decide it's finally time to move away from the misty air of San Francisco, there's one spot that seems to be drawing the eye more than others. It lies over the great Sierra Nevada Mountains to the east, on the bends of the Truckee River in Washoe County, on the far northwest edge of the state of Nevada. Its name? Reno.

Trees destroyed – Sutro Reservoir, Laguna Honda

San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) has been destroying trees in the areas it controls, to the dismay of tree-lovers and neighbors. We’ve noted earlier that SFPUC is using the same playbook as the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department’s “Native Resources Department” (NRD- the former Native Area Program). It’s against trees, particularly eucalyptus – San Francisco’s most numerous and ecologically important tree-species – and pro-pesticide. (See our analysis for last year, San Francisco Pesticides 2025: NRD Usage up 60%). NRD is responsible for much of San Francisco’s tree losses across the city. SF PUC, which had implemented the pesticide policy, is also cutting down trees.

Bay Area approved saving public transit, but how much will it cost you

Bay Area voters approved two transit tax measures in the 2026 general election, adding new costs for residents in five counties while funding BART, Muni, Caltrain, and other transit systems. How much more will residents pay? It depends on where they live. The Regional Transit Measure will impose a 14-year sales tax in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. San Francisco will add a 1% sales tax, while the other four counties will add 0.5%. San Francisco voters also approved Proposition H, a 15-year property tax to fund the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. Here's more about the two measures, how each Bay Area county voted, and how the new taxes will affect residents in each county. Regional Transit Measure and Proposition H explained The Regional Transit Measure will create a 14-year, five-county sales tax in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties, expected to generate about $980 million annually as a new revenue source for the region's transit system. Specifically, San Francisco County will introduce a new 1.0% sales tax, and Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties will introduce a new 0.5% sales tax.

SF's Great Highway fight may just be over

After six years, three ballot measures and a supervisor recall, San Francisco's fight over the Upper Great Highway and Sunset Dunes may finally be winding down. Why it matters: The dispute has become one of SF's most divisive battles over how to balance public space and neighborhood traffic. Driving the news: Voters this week overwhelmingly rejected Proposition G, which would've reopened the Upper Great Highway to vehicles on weekdays. Supporters of opening the highway haven't announced any renewed effort since the election. This SF Chronicle precinct map showcases the geographic divide in Prop G sentiment. Precincts directly along the Upper Great Highway voted no while pockets just inland voted yes. Support shifted back to no farther into the city. Catch up quick: What started as a pandemic-era street closure turned into a six-year political fight. 2020: San Francisco closed the Upper Great Highway to cars during the COVID-19 pandemic, giving residents space for socially distanced recreation. 2021–2022: The city restored weekday vehicle access. In November 2022, 65% of San Francisco voters rejected full vehicle access under Proposition I. 2024–2025: 55% of voters approved permanently converting the highway into a park under Prop. K , and Sunset Dunes opened in April
