New York City resident Woofter, 47, who looks closer to 30, grew up in San Leandro and spent a lot of time in San Francisco, while his now-retired father, Tom Woofter, worked as an attorney in the Financial District. His brother, Matthew Hirotsu Woofter, lived in the Outer Sunset in his 20s and the siblings hung out together a lot, going to nightclubs and sporting events.

Before Proposition K was on the ballot, another westside promenade stirred fervor in westsiders. Three years ago, in April of 2022, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors established a permanently car-free John F.

Five years later, it is difficult to imagine that the mile-and-a-half stretch was once one of the City’s major arteries for cars.
Hokkaido Sashimi Marketplace has become my go-to for casual sushi. The fish marketplace is a local favorite. The fish is some of the freshest in the City, and it is the perfect spot for a meal on the go. The quality of fish versus the low price point is quite a deal for San Francisco!

For two, I recommend picking up a couple of boxes and a couple of miso soups. When checking out, make sure you peek and see if they still have the spam musubi in stock – it always goes fast!

The author remains anonymous, but it could’ve been President Donald Trump or his Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who only a mother could love, who declared: “In my whole life I’ve only had one client – my career.”
