74. The right keeps creeping into the San Francisco Bay Area

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 09:00:00 -0700

Welcome to another episode of the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, Kevin and D Scott discuss the right wing continuing to make its way into the Bay Area. President Donald Trump might’ve pulled back on sending the national guard to San Francisco (thanks to tech CEOs and Mayor Daniel Lurie’s groveling) but they’re still showing up in Alameda. Also, the Oakland City Council is doing the Oakland Police Department favors, despite the recent, suspicious death of Doug Martin.

Welcome to another episode of the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Welcome to another episode of the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, Kevin and Scot speak with Betty Galbadon from East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy (EBASE). She breaks down how a new Concord City Council member is trying to undo the rent control ordinance that started last year. After being on the council for a month, he wants to turnover a life-saving measure that took 8 years to pass. It’s clear this is just landlords, both local and statewide, sending a message. We get into the impact of losing the measure and how we can fight for it.

43. What's Next for San Francisco's Progressives with John Avalos

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 07:00:00 -0700

Welcome to another episode of the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, Kevin and Scot interview former San Francisco Supervisor John Avalos. If you wanna know about what San Francisco politics are like at the highest levels, this is the episode for you. John does not hold back! We heard about the beginnings of the techie takeover (the Twitter tax break), why he doesn’t believe Governor Gavin Newsom will do anything to stop Trump, and how he faced a recall himself back when he was cutting the police budget. It’s a good time!

“San Carlos Airport is the only general aviation airport in the Bay Area with a contracted tower staff, said Alessandro Franco, owner of the San Carlos Flight Center flight school.

The FAA announced Thursday that their contract with Serco was ending on Friday and they had awarded a new contract to Robinson Aviation, a company that specializes in air traffic control. However, their controllers rejected their job offers after the company refused to adjust their pay to account for higher living costs in the Bay Area.

“To maintain the continuity of air traffic control services at San Carlos Airport, we are extending the prior service provider, Serco, for 60 days,” the FAA said in a statement to the Bay Area News Group.

Welcome to another episode of the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area.

In our discussion, Jaz let's us know about how the city's sweeps aren't helping and how the encampments create community, which is a good thing.

Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. The election came Tuesday and well, most of the results sucked. Donald Trump won, California made stupid decisions over state propositions, and the recalls of Mayor Sheng Thao and DA Pamela Price probably succeeded. Scot and Kevin discuss all this and our thoughts about what the left can do to win in the future.

Proposition D: The Rich Try To Take Over San Francisco

Fri, 01 Nov 2024 09:00:00 -0700

Welcome to the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. With the election coming next Tuesday, we thought we'd dedicate an episode to Prop D, an insidious attempt by the wealthy to take over San Francisco politics. It's such a brazen plan they made a Power Point outlining their entire plan and this is a big part of it. On the show are Doug Engmann, a former president of the San Francisco Planning Commission who's been active in San Francisco politics for over 50 years; and Jeremy Mack of the Phoenix Project, a non-profit researching the connection between the rich and political movements in San Francisco. We get into the real purpose of Prop D, the consequences regular folks will face if it passes and how this isn't even the first time San Francisco has seen a movement like this.
