Work from home is at 50% in San Francisco, even like it's 30%. Every single downtown is struggling with what to do. Some of the neighborhoods are doing better because people are just sort of staying in their neighborhood. But Union Square is a whole different animal and needs some tender loving care.
Hollywood may be shut down, but one industry seems to be enjoying a surprising upswing: crypto. Kara interviewed Ripple co-founder and Executive Chairman Chris Larsen hours before what is being called a “landmark victory” – but, as Nayeema and Kara note, it’s not a clean victory. We discuss the Ripple case, whether the crypto winter is over, and why Larsen is investing heavily in everything from campaign donations to public interventions on crime in SF – but would rather “vomit blood from his eyeballs” than actually run for office.
