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.
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.
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.
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.
Voting Yes on Prop K will NOT create a park on the Upper Great Highway between Lincoln and Sloat. It will not be good for the environment, give people of all ages better access to the coast or bring new customers to our small businesses.
As two generations of an Outer Sunset family – one in college, one having been retired for more than 20 years – we love our neighborhood. We love going on walks, enjoying ocean views and seeing children have space to play.
We are voting Yes on K to transform an unreliable roadway into an unparalleled park.
… as a woman, I am so repulsed by Kopp’s digging up a story from 2019 where someone was upset that Ms Harris was demanding or had high expectations of her staff. Really? Is this trope of a strong, assertive woman is so played out. Once again, here is an older, white man disparaging a woman of color.
During her first four-year term on the Board of Supervisors, Connie Chan has made a strong, if ultimately unsuccessful, attempts to moderate attempts by wealthy, connected interests to control our public space for their benefit. In doing so, she has also stood up to two of our most egregiously highhanded city agencies.
I read Quentin Kopp’s voting recommendations for the Nov. 5 election with dismay.
If you believe in good government, if you believe in democracy, if you believe in the legislative process as the way for communities to address problems, you must vote no on Prop. K. What is the motivation for these five supervisors, Joel Engardio, Myrna Melgar, Dean Preston, Rafael Mandelman and Matt Dorsey, to bypass all discussion and community feedback?
I, for one, am grateful that Quentin Kopp’s wasted vote for the presidency doesn’t matter because California is securely in the hands of the Democrats.
In their letter to the Richmond Review (September 2024), Jane Lew and Heidi Moseson equate the used-to-be Embarcadero Freeway with the Upper Great Highway (UGH). To quote, “…our ocean front continues to be dominated by a four-lane highway.” You’re not making your case here.
In a move that does nothing to promote the businesses of struggling Taraval merchants and will harm homeowners and renters who live along the Lower Great Highway and 48th Avenue, Joel Engardio solicited and received approval from SFMTA to close both lanes of the Lower Great Highway between Ulloa and Santiago on Saturday, Sept. 21, and Oct. 19, for 15 hours – 9 a.m. to midnight – to hold night markets.
I am writing this letter to call attention to a very small individual who is making a very big impact on the feeling of community in the central Richmond District. This small individual happens to be an orange cat named Picasso.
