Why do San Francisco's Painted Ladies have property taxes ranging from $1,000 to $44,000?

Love this project by @namisumida (who decided to illustrate it herself!) on building codes for having a single stairway, which can lead to complications for housing in San Francisco. Pro tip: Scroll the OPPOSITE way to read it.
Could this change to San Francisco’s building code create more opportunities for dense housing? sfchronicle.com/projects/202…

How are the Golden State Warriors so good? It's pretty simple. They have a lot of good players and they are playing them all. Cool charts from @namisumida

Prop D on San Francisco's ballot would cut down the number of SF commissions from 135 to 65
Do you think you can eliminate 70 commissions?
See if you can in my @sfchronicle commission game!

Whether San Francisco has too many city commissions is one of the most important, but dryest, subjects this election.
So @namisumida made it into a game.

AMAZING data on closures by @namisumida: SFUSD is expected to announce which schools it will consider closing. The district outlined 10 factors to consider related to equity, academic excellence and resource availability. Here's a breakdown of the data: sfchronicle.com/projects/202…

What's the best event in San Francisco?
We held a ranked-choice poll to find out, but also used the results to explain how ranked-choice voting works, including whether voters can "game" the system

I use these results to walk through 4 common scenarios that come up when filling out RCV ballots, including what to do if you hate a candidate, when you have a clear favorite, or if you're unfamiliar with most candidates

a huge thank you to @SidhomLydia for helping me collect survey responses (including coming with me to the Ikea food hall to ask strangers to take our poll 😅)

@namisumida did an incredible dive into RCV using some fun poll data on the best event in SF that you should absolutely check out. It also has some of the truest opinions about Fleet Week.
Ranked-choice voting is the system used in San Francisco to elect some local officials. It’s how voters will choose the next mayor. Can you game it?
We held a RCV poll of our own to find out: trib.al/H6ytTzi

HONORED to be interviewed in this very informative and super fun ranked-choice voting project from @namisumida & the data team.
Learned a ton but also laughed a few times.

With Proposition K on voters' ballots, our @namisumida took a count of every car and pedestrian using the section of the iconic road that would be closed to traffic.
Here's what she found: sfchronicle.com/projects/202…
How many cars vs. pedestrians use SF's Great Highway?
I was curious about Prop K's potential impact, so I went out to the Great Highway and counted every car & pedestrian I saw over the course of an hour

For decades, law enforcement agencies across California have used confidential settlements to bury the misconduct of their officers.
Our investigation (+@SmithCaseyA) examines the system that supports these secret deals. Check it out in the @sfchronicle. sfchronicle.com/projects/202…
