Welcome to Dolores Park, Pirate Wires’ inaugural local politics vertical. San Francisco has been a major focus of our work all the way back from our first issue of the flagship. Now, we’re formally covering the city in its own corner of the Pirate Wires universe. Every week we’ll share a lead, stories and links from City Hall, the latest from our noble class of unhinged activists, and whatever other story from the neighborhoods that you should know about, be it helpful, or — let’s be honest — funny. Our purpose as ever is to be the signal in the noise. In terms of coverage, let us know what you’d like to read more of below. What do you consider essential San Francisco reading?
