SF Duo Lands on Bon Appétit’s 2026 Best New Restaurants List

Bon Appétit names two San Francisco spots—Jules and Maria Isabel—in its 2026 Best New Restaurants list, signaling SF’s national dining comeback; Jules earns praise for daring, free‑wheeling pizza (notably the Fun Guy with black garlic‑tamarind), while Maria Isabel is lauded for its coastal Mexican cuisine and inventive cocktail program; the feature highlights chefs with clear perspectives taking risks, and the SF scene continues to attract national attention even as it faces staffing and cost pressures.

Video hints fatigue behind SF Muni empty-train crash

A video obtained by NorCal Bodycam appears to show a San Francisco Muni operator asleep just before two empty trains crashed into each other on July 31 near 47th Avenue and Wawona Street. The SFMTA has initially attributed the incident to operator fatigue, with no injuries reported and the investigation ongoing. This follows a prior similar incident that also led to fatigue-based findings and a fatigue-awareness campaign by the agency.

SF Dems back national wealth tax, oppose California billionaire tax

San Francisco’s county Democratic Party is poised to oppose California’s billionaire wealth tax at its meeting and instead advance a resolution calling for a national wealth tax, aligning with Gov. Newsom and signaling a shift toward moderates in a city once dominated by progressives. The move contrasts with the California Democratic Party’s broader backing of the measure and follows SF’s rejection of a local “overpaid CEO” tax proposal, as leaders argue a one-time wealth tax won’t solve long-term problems.

New York Tops SF for U.S. Tech Talent, Fueled by AI

CBRE's latest study finds New York now has more tech workers than the San Francisco Bay Area for the first time in 13 years, driven largely by AI roles that make up about a third of U.S. tech listings; NY leads overall tech talent, while SF remains the AI leader. AI jobs rose about 45% year over year, with leasing activity concentrated in Manhattan and other AI-heavy markets like SF, Boston and Seattle, and SF driving a large share of AI leasing in the first half of this year. In Canada, AI jobs cluster in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

New York Surges Past San Francisco in Tech Talent, CBRE Reports

A CBRE analysis finds New York now has more tech workers than San Francisco (394,300 vs. 375,730 from 2022–2025). San Francisco still leads the Tech Talent Scorecard, but New York’s tech workforce is growing rapidly, aided by its finance cluster and post‑pandemic layoffs (Layoffs.fyi tracks over 833,000 cuts since 2022). The Bay Area’s brain‑drain persists even as AI hiring expands; Austin remains behind in CBRE’s rankings. New York is also pursuing policy moves, such as reclassifying some last‑mile delivery contractors as employees, to cement its tech‑talent appeal.

SF WNBA Rally Highlights Culture War Over Women’s Sports

Pro‑women’s‑sports activists hosted a rally outside San Francisco’s Chase Center before the Golden State Valkyries vs. Minnesota Lynx game, but pro‑trans counterprotesters outnumbered them. Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve framed the Save Women’s Sports movement as a political talking point and urged education, while Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase condemned hate speech and urged leading with love. Reeve has previously supported trans athletes; she wore a “trans kids belong” shirt during a Fever game. Security allowed some shirts but warned signs at times. The Lynx defeated the Valkyries 77‑66, and organizers say more rallies are planned at other WNBA games this week.

AI windfalls turbocharge San Francisco housing market

AI wealth is fueling a San Francisco housing frenzy, with the median home price near $1.7 million and sales often exceeding asking prices by millions as new AI millionaires bid alongside tech workers. Rentals are rising, inventory is tight, and cash deals are more common in the Bay Area. The trend is helped by a rebound in SF population after the pandemic and could accelerate further if AI IPOs (OpenAI/Anthropic) unleash windfalls, potentially even allowing sellers to accept stock as payment.

Wiener, who led in the primary, says Pelosi has effectively taken over Chan’s campaign, while Chan’s side emphasizes labor ties and the legacy Pelosi wants to shape for the city.
