Residents should assume that redistricting is done fairly — distributing residents as evenly as possible while taking community interests and geography into account.
Commentary: Paul Kozakiewicz
The actions of one city department head are further fraying the nerves of westside residents already battered by almost two years of the COVID-19 pandemic; people who are just trying to shop, get to medical appointments, get their kids to school and visit friends and loved ones.
Commentary: Make Upper Great Highway an Oceanfront Park
I am one of your many neighbors (hello from the Outer Richmond!) who believes the Upper Great Highway should remain transformed as an oceanfront promenade park all day, every day year-round.
Commentary: The Benefits of the ‘Great Walkway’
If you spend time on the Great Walkway, you may have seen me out there on a weekend, handing out flyers and stickers and asking if you’d like to help preserve the space’s future as a park.

In 1874, House of Commons member Benjamin Disraeli declared: “Upon the education of the people of this country the fate of this country depends.” In the Nov. 9, 2021 Wall Street Journal, columnist Gerard Baker contemplated “sanity re-asserting itself” in the United States.

Commentary: Sandra Lee Fewer
As I started to think about what I should write about this month, I began to reflect on this past year. This was the first time in 12 years that I was not an elected official.
Commentary: Ugly Recall Campaign Will Only Get Worse
A campaign with the stated purpose of returning “law-and-order” to San Francisco’s streets has been caught overstepping the bounds of propriety – and often breaking the law.
Commentary: Quentin L. Kopp
Professor William Shughart of Utah State University described accurately the inaccuracy of “characterizing government spending as investment.” He reminded us public entities don’t “undertake projects based on expected rates of return, payback or any other sound financial criteria.”

Last month, Michael Durand, the editor of the Richmond Review, asked if I might be interested in submitting a monthly column for the newspaper. He thought my perspective on city issues – in particular, political matters – would be of interest to readers by offering a different “view” on current issues. I hesitated to respond to him for weeks. Then, something clicked. And so, here we go!
Commentary: ‘The Best of the Richmond’
I am excited to introduce a new project we will be starting in December: “The Best of the Richmond.”
