    La Scuola International School

    A closer look at bilingual, globally focused education in San Francisco. In this episode of The Bay Insider, Amanda Martin and Ying He sit down with Federica Lentini, the Assistant Head of School at La Scuola International School, for a closer look at one of San Francisco’s more distinctive bilingual programs. What began as a small, parent-led Italian language group has grown into a pre-K through 8th grade community serving nearly 400 students. We talk about the school’s Reggio Emilia roots, its International Baccalaureate framework, and how Italian–English immersion actually works across grade levels. It’s a thoughtful conversation about bilingual education, progressive learning, and why families from a wide range of backgrounds are drawn to this model.

  3. Bayview-Hunters Point

    Bayview-Hunters Point

    Bayview–Hunters Point is one of those neighborhoods that gets talked about a lot, but not always by people who actually live there. So this episode takes a step back and looks at it through a more grounded lens. Ying He and Amanda Martin are joined by Federica Lentini of La Scuola and local artist Bob Lake, both deeply connected to the community. They discuss how Bayview fits into the larger map, its ties to Dogpatch and Butchertown and how its shipyard history and working-class roots still show up today. There’s a mix of old and new here, and you can feel that dynamic throughout the conversation. They also talk through the day-to-day, local spots, creative energy, and the sense of community that keeps people rooted. It’s an honest look at what’s changing, what’s staying, and what it’s actually like to live in a part of the city that still feels like old San Francisco.

    San Francisco Real Estate Market Update | March 2026

    San Francisco real estate market activity in March 2026 is showing just how competitive things have become. In this episode of The Bay Insider, we take a closer look at what’s happening across the city as low housing inventory continues to meet steady buyer demand. We walk through recent examples from neighborhoods like Inner Sunset, Noe Valley, Glen Park, West Portal, and Bernal Heights, where some homes are drawing significant attention and selling well above the asking price. In places like Noe Valley, price-per-square-foot numbers are pushing toward record territory, while even smaller homes in Bernal Heights are attracting strong competition. We also talk about navigating multiple-offer situations, preemptive offers and what this environment means for both buyers and sellers trying to make smart decisions in a fast-moving market. If you’re trying to understand what’s really happening in the San Francisco housing market right now, this episode offers a clear and practical snapshot based on what we’re seeing day to day.

    San Francisco Real Estate Market Update | February 2026

    San Francisco housing inventory is still low, buyer demand is steady, and competition continues to shape the market which is exactly what Amanda Martin and Ying He talk about in this episode of The Bay Insider. Rather than focusing on charts and heavy data, they share what they’re seeing day to day: activity at broker tours, offer timelines, pricing decisions, and how negotiations are actually playing out. Some homes are drawing multiple offers and strong overbids, while others are moving more slowly and require careful pricing. They break down why low inventory affects both buyers and sellers, which parts of the city feel most competitive, and how to think about strategy when conditions are active but not uniform. They also touch on the bigger factors influencing demand and what they might mean going forward. If you’re trying to understand what’s really happening in the San Francisco real estate market, this episode offers a clear and practical perspective.

    San Francisco Real Estate Market Update 2025 & What's Ahead In 2026

    In this episode of The Bay Insider, San Francisco Market Update 2025 and What's Ahead in 2026, Amanda Martin and Ying He discuss how the San Francisco real estate market wrapped up the year and what buyers and sellers should actually be paying attention to heading into what’s next. They break down the single-family home and condo markets, why competition for houses remains intense, and where the condo market is beginning to find its footing, particularly in areas like South Beach and Downtown. They also get into the realities facing condo buyers right now, from rising HOA fees and special assessments to new regulations like SB 721, SB 326, and potential sprinkler retrofit requirements and how all of this is influencing value and confidence. On the higher end, they unpack the idea of a so-called “mansion shortage,” looking at district-level pricing and what’s really driving demand. They wrap with thoughts on interest rates, buyer strategy, the Compass merger, a conversation about private listings and why broad market exposure still matters.  You can access their data file here: San Francisco Real Estate Market Update 2025 & What's Ahead In 2026 Presentation Episode Youtube Link: San Francisco Real Estate 2025 Market Update & What's Ahead in 2026 Follow The Bay Insider socials to stay in the loop Instagram: @thebayinsider Facebook: thebayinsider Amanda Martin | Lic #01386284  Ying He | Lic #01964556  BarbCo Real Estate | CA DRE# 02014153

    Southern Hills & Crocker Amazon

    In this episode of The Bay Insider, Amanda Martin and Ying He take a closer look at Southern Hills and its close neighbor, Crocker Amazon, two hillside communities in the southeast corner of the city. Joined by longtime resident Liz Cong, they talk about how Southern Hills came about after World War II as a quiet, residential pocket known for detached homes, wide-open views, and some of the sunniest weather in the city. They also head just downhill to Crocker Amazon, where you’ll find a similar sense of neighborhood, its own collection of historic homes, and easy access to large, well-loved parks. Along the way, they touch on daily life, family routines, and why hillside living continues to appeal to both longtime residents and new buyers. With nearby access to San Bruno Mountain’s trails, open space, and landmarks like the Cow Palace, plus the convenience of being minutes from Daly City, this episode offers a thoughtful look at two often-overlooked parts of San Francisco that quietly balance nature, views, and city living.

    Raphael House - Inspiring Families and Illuminating Hope

    In this special episode of The Bay Insider, we sit down with Teresa Van Woy: author, podiatrist, world traveler, and former resident of Raphael House. Teresa shares her remarkable childhood story, from growing up with eight siblings on the road to eventually finding safety, structure, and a sense of home at Raphael House, a San Francisco organization that has supported low-income and homeless families since 1971. We talk about how Raphael House has evolved over the years, from its early days run by nuns to the comprehensive, family-focused program it is now, offering shelter, education support, job training, and long-term stability through its Bridge Program. With a 95% success rate in helping families secure permanent housing, it remains one of the city’s most meaningful resources. It’s a heartfelt conversation about resilience, community, and the impact real stability can have on a child’s life. If you’d like to dive deeper into Teresa’s story, her book, Wildflower, is available on Amazon and at local bookstores. Tune in and learn how you can support the work Raphael House continues to do.
