I talk to drug policy experts coast to coast about #SF Mayor @LondonBreed's Prop F, making welfare contingent on drug rehab. All think it's a bad idea

A high pressure system is bringing warmer air over the Bay Area. While temps in SF are expected to stay in the 70s today, it could be the start of a new pattern of hotter air. We learned that even a slight change in where the high pressure system sets up could bring deadly heat.
Normally, SF stays cool thanks to our location on the coast. But in 2017, temps reached 106 and six people lost their lives. We talk preventative measures with @SF_emergency & learn about predictive models and margins of error with @NWSBayArea.

San Francisco is considering reparations. On this episode, we dig into the history of discriminatory policies, and their impact on two historically Black neighborhoods: the Fillmore and Bayview Hunters Point.

I'm really proud of this episode. The team worked really hard and I hope you take some time to listen to it.
Special thanks to @Carolyn_Copes for consulting on this one.
The Fillmore once had a thriving jazz scene and was known as the "Harlem of the West." But the Black community was pushed out due to policies like redlining and urban renewal. We hear why Black San Franciscans are fighting for reparations.
