Letter to the Editor: Recalling Engardio Is Misguided and Costly
This recall centers on a single issue: the Upper Great Highway. Firstly, recalling Engardio will not reopen the Upper Great Highway to cars. The decision to close the Upper Great Highway and create a public oceanside park was made by voters on Proposition K and no recall will reverse it.
City Hall: Connie Chan
We have legislation to establish further protections for small businesses as well as empowering workers to engage with their employer when a business is up for sale. In the Richmond, we are lucky to have the most amazing neighborhood commercial corridors, filled with legacy businesses, outstanding restaurants, unique shops and vital services. The Richmond is defined by shops like Green Apple Books, Toy Boat, Tantrum, New May Wah Supermarket, New World Market, Cinderella, Schubert’s, the Balboa Theatre and too many more independent businesses to name.

Letter to the Editor: Recall Engardio to Restore Accountability
Supervisor Engardio is trying to distract Sunset residents with talk about the Great Highway and Sunset Dunes. But this recall isn’t about roads or parks, it’s about accountability. He continues to divert attention from the real reason he’s being recalled, Supervisor Engardio has failed to represent our Sunset District.
Letter to the Editor: Sunset Residents Prefer Single-Family Homes Over Luxury Condos
San Francisco YIMBYs love to ask a bad-faith question: “Why are you so against a homeowner wanting to build a multiplex on their property?”
It assumes homeowners want multiplexes when most clearly do not and tries to paint neighbors defending their community as selfish.

Will He Stay Or Will He Go? Fate of Engardio Forthcoming
District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio became in 2022 the first person to oust a previously elected city supervisor since district elections to the board were reintroduced a generation ago.

New Food Pantry Opens in the Outer Richmond
San Francisco is generally a wealthy city. But, according to the 2023 San Francisco Biennial Food Security Report, 67% of San Franciscans earning twice the Federal Poverty Level – more than 100,000 people – reported being food insecure. That means they do not know if they will have enough to eat due to a lack of money.
Letter to the Editor: Can We Trust Joel Engardio?
Joel Engardio repeatedly claims that he shouldn’t be recalled over a single issue – the deceitful way he secretly placed the Prop K closure of the Upper Great Highway on the Nov. 2024 ballot against the wishes of his constituents. The recall is about HIM, and his lack the character and integrity.

There were no town halls, no real dialogue, only expedited changes pushed through without input.
