Previously, Mike covered policy and politics at the Bay City Beacon; worked as a housing activist; moderated The Wall, a popular message board on city politics; and worked at the San Francisco Daily Journal on the commercial side for over a decade. His other passions include film and photography—and arguing about the quality of the city's cigar lounges and cheesesteaks.
