Much of the Sunset is already compact, with row houses shoulder-to-shoulder that would look like urban blocks in most towns. You can’t simply stack more stories on soft sand and limited parking and call it progress.
The plan would raise height limits from the current four stories in many places to as much as eight stories. It would encourage the demolition of single-family housing and even small apartment buildings in favor of larger apartment buildings.
In a world where distance, politics and disinformation threaten to divide, Slavic Voice exists to rebuild connection through journalism, dialogue, and civic action. We believe that Slavic youth, no matter where they live or where they come from, deserve to feel seen, heard and part of a shared future.
I find walking at Sunset Dunes to be absolutely exhilarating, right above the beach and the ocean, with the sound of the waves, the smell of the salt air, and in the evenings, the incredible sunsets.
Furthermore, if we still had at-large elections, there would have been no recall – whom would you recall? The whole Board? Those board members who voted to put this on the ballot?
But the latest development really takes the cake! The San Francisco Botanical Garden Society (now corporate branded as “The Gardens of Golden Gate Park”) is putting gaudy LED lights on a “mile” of trees in Strybing Arboreum (now commercially promoted as the “botanical gardens”).
Please contribute what you can to help the People of Parkside Sunset.
There seems to be an almost numbing to the seemingly new ways with which our constitutional liberties are being breached. The tools by which these are enacted at the federal level are happening across all three branches, not just the executive, like many wish to believe.

When I gave the commencement speech for political science graduates at San Francisco State University last year, I told the class:
“You are charged with analyzing and navigating some of the world’s most intractable issues. But if you want to practice your skills for the State Department or the United Nations, go to any neighborhood association meeting in San Francisco and ask the following questions: ‘Should the Great Highway be a highway for cars or a park for people? Where should we build housing? How high can the buildings be?’”
Andytown Coffee Roasters has built its identity around making the everyday feel special, and no drink captures that spirit more than the Snowy Plover. What started as an “offbeat creation” – espresso poured over sparkling water with a generous topping of whipped cream – has grown into a signature drink that people seek year-round. It is simple enough to order without thinking twice, but playful enough to remind you that coffee can be a small surprise in the middle of an ordinary day.
When Jenna McAnulty was raising her child in the City, she felt the African proverb, “it takes a village,” rang true to her journey. Through her experience as a preschool teacher and postpartum doula, she knew she had to create a community third-space to provide support and resources for parents.
On Sept. 26, the Sunset’s famous fog was nowhere to be seen as fifth-graders Ingrid Shettle and Benji Gomes De Mattos, representatives from the Jefferson Elementary School Student Council, cut the red ribbon officially opening the school’s two new playgrounds: one for kindergarten students on Irving Street and the “big kids’ playground” between 18th and 19th avenues.
