Letter to the Editor: Tired of Being Lied To
While losing our common sense in San Francisco is not a new phenomenon, it’s definitely at a fever pitch over Prop, K, closing the Upper Great Highway (UGH) to cars. I refuse to call it a park because that’s a lie; it’s not going to be a park at all, it’s just closing the road to vehicles. By the way, not all vehicles, since a road is still legally required for emergency vehicles.
Letter to the Editor: Philhour an Advocate of Public Safety
If you do not feel that the Richmond is better off today, then I urge my neighbors to join me in supporting Marjan Philhour for supervisor.
Letter to the Editor: Lee for School Board
We’re at a critical moment, and we can’t afford more mismanagement. With your vote, I’ll bring fiscal discipline, a focus on student achievement, and a commitment to better serve our diverse communities.
Commentary: Jen Nossokoff
Running stop signs has become so common in the Richmond that it’s almost accepted as part of daily life. But this is a problem we can no longer afford to ignore.
Letter to the Editor: SFSU Should Not Be Cutting Back Programs
San Francisco State University (SFSU) is essentially shutting down its first- and second-year writing program. We should all be outraged – and we should demand better.
Letter to the Editor: No Reason to Vote for Trump
There is no reason to vote for this man that is based on reality, facts, or reason. It is pure tribalism, us versus them, our team is better than your team.
Letter to the Editor: Philhour Is Breed’s ‘Rubber Stamp’
Marjan Philhour and her husband have both worked for London Breed and Marjan will be nothing but a rubber stamp for what Breed wants, if either of them get elected.
Letter to the Editor: In Support of Marjan Philhour
August’s DNC has many of us in SF hopeful for the direction of our country – with a prevailing sentiment that we’re all in this together and as one unified nation, we deserve a leader who supports the people first.
Press Release: SFPD Arrests 10 Organized Retail Crime Suspects
To help reduce retail thefts and to hold people who commit these crimes accountable, San Francisco Police officers assigned to Taraval Station pre-planned shoplifting and retail theft abatement enforcement operations to address Organized Retail Crimes (ORC).
Letter to the Editor: Vote for Connie Chan
Marjan Philhour is running for the third time and has been endorsed by Together SF. Most people are not aware that Together SF urges the repeal of rent control and district elections.
Letter to the Editor: Philhour Equivocates on Rent Control and Prop. 33
Notice that Marjan Philhour misses the point when she castigates the legit criticism that she is accepting money from real estate moguls who want to end rent control.

‘Cooking Together’: Stuffed Autumn Squash

Letter to the Editor: In Favor of More Car-Free Spaces
I learned that if Prop. K doesn’t pass, the pilot program that allowed it to be a park on the weekends will expire, meaning it would go back to just being a road. That made me realize the stakes, because losing the Great Highway Park would be a massive loss for the community.
