Mayor Gavin Newsom is a few days into his new job — parenting — and he admitted it’s a lot of work.
Newsom and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, welcomed a baby girl into the world Friday. Since then, the mayor said, sleep has been hard to come by. The question is not how many hours of shut-eye he’s had, but “how many hours in a row,” Newsom said, jokingly, during a City Hall event Monday.

The City is on the verge of buying back an old Muni substation on Fillmore Street from the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, which failed in its plans to convert the vacant building into a jazz facility.
The redevelopment agency bought the century-old building, which used to house large electricity-generating turbines for streetcars, from The City in 2003 for $900,000.
A lawsuit that centers on drug crimes and San Francisco’s Sanctuary City policy will again be in front of police commissioners Wednesday.
The lawsuit, brought by San Francisco resident Charles Fonseca, will be discussed in closed session, but there’s no word from commissioners on whether a resolution is near.
As the officer who fatally shot a cleaver-wielding man Sept. 5 returns to work, San Francisco Police Chief George Gascon has ordered a review of all police shootings of the past few years.
