Last December, I was a newly elected supervisor expected to show up at City Hall with ideas to fix things. As my husband and I walked through a Taipei night market, we looked at all the food, entertainment and art. Then we imagined all that fun in the Sunset in the middle of Irving Street.
Our teacher, Judy, starts off with a short warmup of ancient, gentle Qi Gong stretches with intriguing names like Buddha Picks Up the Earth, and Picking Up a Feather. Then we progress for the next 45 minutes to the series of 19 continuous movements and one pose, the complete T’ai Chi Chih (pronounced tie-chee-chuh) practice. The movements are soft, flowing and easy to learn.
The sandwich board outside the front door at Mixto lists some of the foods and drinks available inside: Avocado toast, breakfast tacos, seafood stew, mimosas and sangria. There are too many items to list them all, but they are all described in both Spanish and English on the extensive menus for brunch, lunch and dinner.
Editor:D4 Supervisor Engardio’s vision of bringing ‘the spirit of Paris to the Sunset’ has a blind spot. Where in his scheme is a fully functioning and reliable transit service operating along those […]

If you’ve ever been to Paris, you likely walked down tree-lined streets and enjoyed the quaint sidewalk cafes. If you noticed six-story apartment buildings throughout the city, you probably didn’t leave Paris thinking it was a terrible place because of housing density. The wonderful ground-floor bistros were memorable, not the building height.
Changes proposed for new housing throughout the City could have a big impact on the west side if SF Mayor London Breed’s plan for “streamlining” the process to replace single-family homes with multi-unit buildings is approved.
In his most recent essay “Why Tents Can’t Be Removed,” Supervisor Joel Engardio once more transforms fantasy into reality. Engardio brands a judge’s ruling as “nonsensical.” Why?
