To all the amazing LA Times journos who are getting laid off today, I'm so sorry. This is insane. Faint silver lining for anyone with Bay Area roots or aspirations: The @sfstandard is hiring biz, tech, real estate, food, culture writers and more. Hit me up over email or DM.

Some personal news: After six years as editor-in-chief of @sanfranmag, I will be stepping down at the end of our next issue. This move wasn't forced on me, and it wasn't a decision that I made lightly—I still love and admire the people I work with here... (1/4)
