📰 News we're reading
1. After Super Bowl LX, Bay Area Eyes 2031 Women's World Cup: Reports (patch.com) — With Super Bowl LX wrapped up, Bay Area organizers are turning their attention from this summer’s Men’s World Cup to a bid for the 2031 Women’s World Cup, potentially using Levi’s Stadium and Oracle Park. San Francisco’s strong track record hosting major events and the hundreds of millions in recent Super Bowl–related economic impact are key selling points as officials court another global tournament.
2. San Francisco's new film incentives land Netflix's ‘A Man on the Inside' Season 3 (sfchronicle.com) — San Francisco just overhauled its film rebate program, offering bigger incentives and no minimum shoot days to lure productions back to the city. Within minutes of the bill signing at City Hall, Netflix producer Morgan Sackett committed to filming most of Season 3 of “A Man on the Inside” here, with local leaders saying the move should boost jobs, small businesses, and the city’s creative economy.
3. How much do S.F. teachers make vs. city workers? Much less. (missionlocal.org) — San Francisco teachers on strike are earning far less than many city workers, despite working in the same high-cost city and often logging long hours during the school year. A new analysis compares SFUSD teacher pay to nurses, police, firefighters, and nearby districts, while explaining how state-controlled school funding and enrollment declines constrain local salary negotiations.
4. Mission Local welcomes three new members to board of directors (missionlocal.org) — Mission Local, the San Francisco-based nonprofit newsroom, has added three seasoned media and nonprofit leaders to its board as it prepares to expand coverage into more city neighborhoods. The new members all have deep Bay Area ties and experience in journalism, philanthropy, and storytelling, bolstering Mission Local’s capacity to deliver community-focused reporting for San Francisco residents.
5. Living alone costs renters extra $10K per year: Zillow (newsnationnow.com) — If you’re renting alone in San Francisco, Zillow estimates you effectively pay about $17,000 more per year than someone splitting rent with a partner. A new national analysis shows this “singles tax” is among the highest in the country, reflecting how sharply solo renters are penalized in expensive metros. The study also notes rents have cooled slightly as incomes rise.
