Ben @benpeterson.bsky.social · 12/06/2026This is the end result of the incessant whining and scaremongering about California being “weak” on petty retail theft. Chamber of commerce types whipped idiots into a frenzy for years and now we have deadly police chases over probably like $50 in stolen groceries. Incredibly stupid 000
Ben @benpeterson.bsky.social · 02/06/2026This is one of few pieces that I’ve seen adequately describe the complicated feelings so many on SF’s left have about this race. Saikat is saying all the right things in his ads but he’s been a no show locally for a decade (and a behind the scenes force for centrism when he does show up). 121

Now, the current oligarch-aligned board is allowing mass evictions. “In a city of AI riches and skyrocketing rents, housing evictions hit a 10-year high in 2025 — and this year is trending even worse.”sfstandard.comLast chance at eviction court: The San Francisco tenants teetering on the abyssIn a city of AI riches and skyrocketing rents, housing evictions hit a 10-year high in 2025 — and this year is trending even worse. 02510

Ben @benpeterson.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Unsurprisingly, Katie sums up part two of the story perfectly here. Really happy to be sharing more about the people & community structures that make the SFGBA so special! 031
Ben @benpeterson.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Part 2! The SFGBA’s organizational leadership & day-to-day operations are super impressive and key to the league’s sustained success.

Ben @benpeterson.bsky.social · 30/01/2025It’s been pointed out that these companies use crime wave rhetoric/media fixation on shoplifting to cover up the real reasons for store closures/other issues, but you know what I find funny? You never hear about local corner stores closing or crying to the media about shoplifting. 120
Ben @benpeterson.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Pretty great how these corrupt power hungry freaks give the working class one last kick in the pants on their way out of the senate. Bought and paid for by the same companies the NLRB is supposed to regulate, some democracy we got going here. 100
Ben @benpeterson.bsky.social · 12/02/2024Think what you want about vandalism but it’s pretty clear how many people in San Francisco - from elected officials to firefighters to these people - really fucking hate autonomous vehicles & their presence in city streets. 010
