Lurie’s father may be a rabbi, but his values do not reflect those of the Ashkenazic American Judaism with which so many of us were raised. A sincere apology is required.

Letter to the Editor: Artificial Turf is a Toxic Pollutant That Should Not Be Used on Playing Fields
Artificial turf should never have been used in the playing fields of Golden Gate Park and it should not be used in the renovation of the Crocker/Amazon playing fields. It is toxic, pollutes the environment and poses a danger to all San Franciscans. Plastic grass continually sheds microplastics and can’t be recycled or disposed of in a landfill.

Letter to the Editor: Benefits of Reopening the Great Highway
From my home facing Ocean Beach I’ve been daily observing and photographing trucks, emergency vehicles, sand removal equipment, and the occasional car driving on the closed Great Highway/Sunset Dunes Park. Clearly, this 4-lane highway that was driven on by nearly 20,000 vehicles every day when it was open, had not lost its utility at the time of its closure, nor has it lost its utility yet. My photographic proof indicates at least one or more vehicles drive on it nearly every day.
Letter to the Editor: Appreciating the Sunset Dunes
I’m a senior and go there frequently to walk, and I see so many people there. I always see a lot of other walkers of all ages, families with young children, couples, friends walking together, as well as runners and bicyclists.

Letter to the Editor: Kirkham Street ‘Choker’ a Solution in Search of a Problem
The Chronicle article, “‘Choker’ to slow traffic will be removed despite its success,” on
Dec. 7, reads like an MTA press release rather than investigative journalism.
Letter to the Editor: Sunset Dunes a Playground for the Privileged
Sunset Dunes isn’t a park. It’s a monument to privilege and denial, built on the suffering of Sunset families, disabled residents, and endangered wildlife.
