Almost three weeks after Mayor Breed declared a state of emergency in San Francisco in response to COVID-19 (“virus”), on March 16, six Bay Area counties with a total of 6.7 million residents issued orders aimed to prevent further spread of the virus. The City and County of San Francisco’s order requires residents to “shelter in place” (i.e., stay at home) through April 7 or, if deemed necessary, longer. At the time of issuance, these orders were the strictest measures of their kind in the continental U.S. On March 19, Governor Newsom issued a similar order for the entire state as have other states, counties, and cities around the country. (For more information, see: City and County of San Francisco Order of the Health Officer No. C19-07 at tinyurl.com/waddyqv.)

San Francisco residents are now practically on a total lockdown at home and regular commercial activity has changed dramatically. For homeless individuals, the order effectively exempts them from the shelter in place requirement but urges them to find shelter through the affected period. The order allows residents to leave home to work in certain “essential” businesses and services, and to engage in “essential activities,” including shopping for food, home, and medical items, getting take-out food, caring for pets, visiting banks and gas stations, doing laundry, and exercising outdoors. “High-risk” individuals and those with significant health conditions are urged not to leave home except when seeking or receiving medical care.

Starting with our March meeting, the Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council (HANC) will begin recording its monthly meetings and streaming the meeting video live on the Council’s Facebook page.  

The HANC board believes that not only will video streaming create an accurate record of the meeting discussion but that it will also create greater accessibility to HANC’s programming to current and prospective members.

To access the video content, search Facebook Groups for the “Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council.”  Or enter this URL: https://www.facebook.com/groups/177524865599522/

Since the group is set up for Public access, there is no need to create a Facebook login to view the video content.  Feel free to like or leave a comment on each video if you’d like to continue the conversation beyond the meeting.

On Saturday February 8 at approximately 11:30pm, San Francisco police officers were called to the intersection of Haight and Ashbury where an off-duty FBI officer reportedly fired his gun 3 times, striking street musician and formerly homeless youth Tad Crane twice in the abdomen and lung. 

The community gathered at the Bindery on February 18th and heard from Supervisor Dean Preston who had been on site within an hour of the shooting and whose office had been coordinating the release of all possible information from SFPD, the DA and FBI.
