There were 23,964 students in 104 private schools in San Francisco during 2023-24. By comparison, there were 52,715 students in San Francisco public schools so private school enrollment represents 31% of the total. An unknown but non-trivial share of private school enrollment comes from outside the city so the the percentage of San Francisco students who attend private school is going to be somewhat lower than 31%. Figure 1 shows the locations and sizes of K-8 schools (click here for an interactive version).

One of my favorite things to do when I travel is visit local food markets and supermarkets. Naturally, then, when I was in Southeast Asia last year, I made it a point to go to as many markets as I could. While Phong Dien was my favorite floating market, my favorite market, period, was Trok Mor morning market in Bangkok’s old town, known as Rattanakosin. Of all the markets I visited, this one was the least touristy and most full of locals, which no doubt contributed to how I feel about it.

Two men, completely different in every single way, cross paths at the pivot point of history. Jesus Christ and Jesus Barrabas, as some early manuscripts referred to this notorious criminal. We don’t know if the two ever met, if when Jesus passed through Judea many times, Barabbas was within earshot, or if Barabbas and his murderous thugs were in the crowd at the temple when Jesus spoke or turned over the tables of the money changers.

A funny thing happened to me on the way to a 30-year career in engineering. When I was a young kid, growing up in the southern US, the normal thing to do was to go to college if you had the patience and means (and it was a lot easier back then), and then to start working somewhere. Now, here’s the interesting part: you were supposed to stay there for your whole career.

I’m recovering from The Sale of the Century and wanted to recap a little bit…forgive me, I’m still sleeping and very foggy! Please watch #NEVERWORNS on YouTube…more episodes coming soon x. I took a break from #NEVERWORNS because….well, I was planning The Sale of the Century. It was a fever dream, featuring the goods my assistant and I cleaned out from Chloë Sevigny’s storage unit, the pouf-pumped closets of Lynn Yaeger and Sally Singer, the jewels of Mickey Boardman, and designs of The Academy New York by my friend Chelsea Zalopany’s man, Swaim Hutson.
