Bay Area flood advisories extended as water levels shatter records

On a gray Saturday morning in Sausalito, a man in rubber boots stood at the edge of a parking lot and watched the bay refuse to give the pavement back. The water had peaked overnight, then stalled, leaving a thin sheet across curbs that usually stay dry even in winter storms. Similar scenes played out from the Embarcadero to shoreline parks in the East Bay, where puddles behaved less like leftovers from a storm and more like a tide that had forgotten its schedule. Officials responded by keeping Bay Area flood advisories in place through the weekend, a decision that surprised people who had expected the danger to ebb with the morning light. The extension was not a new emergency so much as an admission that retreat can be slower than arrival, and that a record does not end when the crest passes.

Silicon Valley had a terrible election night. One local billionaire did not

Election night was, to put it mildly, a bloodbath for the tech industry. But one local tech billionaire emerged almost spotless. Ripple chairman and San Francisco native Chris Larsen poured more than $22 million into national politics this cycle, much of it to the Democratic candidates and PACs that helped usher in a historic blue wave. In California, he spent millions boosting moderate, business-friendly candidates and measures that scored wins in deep-blue districts.

The legacy of the late, great Harry Britt, who would not have backed Scott Wiener …

I’m glad the SF Standard did a story about the last gay man to run for Congress in San Francisco. His name was Harry Britt, and in 1987, the longtime supervisor with a strong local record on issues almost beat the heir apparent to the old Burton Machine. Her name was Nancy Pelsoi.
