While theaters run 2 a.m. screenings of “The Odyssey” to meet demand, allow me to nudge you toward another cultural phenomenon that makes ancient wisdom accessible, this time through art, not war: “The Etruscans: From the Heart of Ancient Italy” at the Legion of Honor Museum through Sept. 20.
How can the City justify allowing hazardous, uncertified “DIY” projects on a highway median while legitimate neighborhood parks are left completely broke? Rec & Parks must halt this installation.
The contracts proposed, between the San Francisco Recreation and Park Dept. and APE fall short of the industry standard. The APE contracts are not typical for a venue this size, potentially costing the City millions of dollars in lost revenue.
I believe Catherine Stefani’s column should more accurately have the title: “Standing Up For Corporate Healthcare Interests.” By working on incremental reform through the bills listed in her column, fundamental healthcare reform that is urgently needed is once again defeated. The profits of those who provide campaign contributions to the great majority of legislators in Sacramento are safe for another year.
Voters beware: A potpourri of disinformation awaits you this election year. Wealthy individuals, whose largesses has been minted through their investments in anti-environmental A.I. and crypto ‘currency’ know how they want you to vote, which is in the financial and social supremacist interests of their class. Once again, they are spending enormous sums to propagandize the “low information voter” to vote their way.
It wasn’t too long ago that former Supervisor Joel Engardio and Sunset Dunes supporters were loudly proclaiming that local zoning laws would protect the Sunset from from high rise development along Sunset Dunes. That protection was gone in a wave of the hand thanks to the collusion between the City and the CCC staff.
Change is inevitable. The Sunset will continue to evolve. The challenge for the residents lies in campaigning to advance positive evolution, such that the neighborhood is not dethroned from its standing as among the finest of San Francisco. Citizen outrage can and should be channeled positively with eyes upon the future, as opposed to clinging to the past.
The closure of the UGH and the creation of Sunset Dunes Park has been a great boon to the Sunset and our City, enriching and protecting our residents and our coastline.
Supervisor Connie Chan’s recent letter re: Prop. A (Earthquake “Safety”) bond measure comes to the wrong conclusion. The best course for San Francisco voters, especially for those of us in neighborhoods such as the Outer Richmond, Outer Sunset, Ingleside, Crocker-Amazon, Excelsior and at least 10 other western and southern neighborhoods, is to Vote “no” on Prop. A.
Of course people need access to their garages. But this level of vigilance feels out of proportion to the harm. We’re talking about inches of space and minor, inevitable mistakes—not real threats.
District 4 voters deserve to hear from all legitimate candidates, and not just the ones who have raised the most money. An honest forum is one that lets voters decide for themselves.
My name is Jasper and I am 14 years old, born and raised San Francisco resident. I am currently a freshman at University High School. I am writing to share my proposal to change the San Francisco flag and the interesting story about it.
Mayor Lurie’s “Proponent Ballot Argument” is not just one lie, it is a statement chock-full of lies with the intention of foisting all of them on the voters in the official Voter Information Pamphlet that is mailed to every registered voter in the City and County of San Francisco.
The west side of SF requires attention to fire risk. Another bond will accomplish nothing, or worse. There are better approaches.
The San Francisco County Transportation Authority is hosting a virtual town hall to discuss the Geary/19th Avenue Subway project planning which includes the Richmond and Sunset districts.
