Can $20 still get you a night out in San Francisco? 💸 We put North Beach to the test to see if a budget night out in SF is still possible — with cheap pizza, a reasonably priced drink, and one very unsuccessful attempt at winning a free shot.

What neighborhood should we test next?

Between @cheficopizzeria, @viaaureliasf, and now @goldenrulebarsf, the team behind some of the city’s most popular Italian restaurants is tripling down on the SF’s eastern waterfront. Opening this Saturday, Golden Rule will bring a colorful cocktail destination to Thrive City with nostalgia-driven drinks and pizza rolls.

“If you were born in, like, the ’70s, ’80s, or ’90s, this bar is meant to be like a little hug for your soul,” said chef David Nayfeld.

Calling all Deadheads with deep pockets: A former church turned rock’n’roll playground in San Anselmo just hit the market for $4.4 million.

Before it was converted into a 4,200-square-foot home, the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Van Morrison, Carlos Santana, Huey Lewis and other rockstars played, recorded, and partied in the lofty studio. Members of Jefferson Airplane even “camped out” there for a short time. The location, size, and updated interiors determined the list price — the leasing agent notes its historical value is a free perk.

President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act could result in 45,000 San Franciscans losing healthcare and 21,000 losing CalFresh eligibility within two years. Without coverage, San Francisco could absorb up to $400 million in uncompensated healthcare costs, the city estimates.

To keep people enrolled in Medi-Cal and CalFresh programs, Mayor Daniel Lurie is allocating $34 million from the city’s federal funding reserve, his office shared exclusively with The Standard.

“Even though we have zero funding from the feds to do this, and zero funding from the state to do this, we are taking it as our responsibility as a city to help [people] meet those work requirements,” said Trent Rhorer, executive director of the Human Services Agency.

SF could see major food stamp cuts within days.

Mayor Lurie wants to put $34 million toward keeping tens of thousands of San Franciscans from losing CalFresh benefits as stricter eligibility rules kick in next month.

Plus: A Bay Area rock history house tied to Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, and Carlos Santana just hit the market, and even psychics aren’t safe from AI. 🔮

Lefty voters across California find themselves in a tough spot. There is one viable candidate for governor who supports Medicare for All, immigrants’ rights, and taxing the rich. He has even threatened to prosecute ICE agents. Unfortunately, he’s also a billionaire.

Tom Steyer, a self-identified traitor to his ultrawealthy class, is “somehow running the most progressive campaign” in the gubernatorial race, per the California Democratic Socialists of America. For some voters, his hedge fund fortune is less of a deal breaker than others on the ballot.

Thousands of Meta employees woke up Wednesday morning to discover they’d been laid off due to a shift in AI-focused teams. Among those let go, the emotions are complicated: devastated yet relieved, anxious yet oddly celebratory.

“The returns of working in Big Tech have diminished significantly in recent years, probably more so at Meta than anywhere else,” said one employee. “It’s become increasingly difficult to ignore or rationalize the negative impact these companies and their executives have on our world.”

We spoke with workers affected by the cuts — and others who survived them — on how they’re coping. Read more at the link in our bio.

A brutal morning for Meta employees.

Roughly 8,000 jobs are being cut, with employees told to stay home and wait for a 4 a.m. email. Thousands more are being reassigned into AI roles as uncertainty ripples through the company.

Also: Mr. Softy may have to raise prices as fuel costs climb, and California socialists may reluctantly back Tom Steyer for governor.

We brought our youngest critics to Power Station’s Touch-a-Truck to rate the excavators, police cruisers, fire engines, and anything else they could climb into.

San Francisco — with a mythology written during the dot-com boom — has become the global center of a technology that might lead to utopia or utter horror. Twenty-somethings have flocked to the city in hopes that their AI startup will make it big. Big tech founders have sung AI’s praises for ushering in the future of work.

For city residents not in tech, the idea that SF is an AI playground awash in VC cash is… annoying. It doesn’t help that many locals are nervous about AI and skeptical that it will help anyone but a wealthy few.

We’ve heard from the techno-utopians and the doomers. Here’s what normal people have to say. Read more at the link in our bio.
