When Mayor Daniel Lurie this month introduced Beya Alcaraz, a former pet store owner, as the new supervisor for District 4, he touted her as a fellow political outsider. The appointee, he said, had neighborhood knowledge, business acumen, and a go-getter attitude that would serve the district well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this being the politically cantankerous neighborhood of the Sunset \u2014 still reeling from its recall of Supervisor Joel Engardio<\/a> over the conversion of the Great Highway<\/a> to the Sunset Dunes park \u2014\u00a0things didn\u2019t go according to plan.<\/p>\n Alcaraz\u2019s record as a small business owner quickly unraveled, due to reports of squalid conditions<\/a> and allegations of financial misconduct<\/a> at her former store. Her resignation after just over one week as supervisor was an embarrassing blunder for Lurie.\u00a0<\/p>\n In this episode of \u201cPacific Standard Time,\u201d politics reporter Gabriel Greschler and columnist Adam Lashinsky break down the events of Alcaraz\u2019s eight-day term and explain what it means for the Sunset, Lurie, and San Francisco.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa7 Listen to the full episode on Spotify (opens in new tab)<\/a> or Apple Podcasts (opens in new tab)<\/a>
