When Evan Sirchuk looked at a photo he had taken of a screen-printed poster on Clement Street, he was stumped by the unrecognizable letterings.

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.
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.
As a former supervisor for the district and an elected member of the San Francisco Democratic Party County Central Committee, I believe the Party made the right choice on Aug. 27th in voting to take a No Endorsement position.
For the past eight months, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) has been replacing century-old water and sewer pipes along Geary Boulevard between 32nd Avenue and Stanyan Street. This critical upgrade will help ensure that Richmond District homes and businesses continue to receive safe and reliable drinking water and wastewater service for generations to come.
In less than one month, a nearly year-long effort to oust District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio will occur on one condition: People get out and vote yes on Proposition A.
As longtime residents of District 4, I and my neighbors feel compelled to speak out in defense of our current Supervisor, Joel Engardio, whose contributions to our community have been significant, responsible and visionary.
The lived experience of D-4 residents is peppered with impacts. Where we go, how we get there and what we do have become a complicated process of considering safety, transportation constraints, time and family well-being. We have reached a point where enough is enough.
The recall isn’t about reopening a road. It’s about holding a supervisor accountable for lying to get elected, silencing his own district, and undermining democracy.
We need to send a message to these radical idealogues: You can’t deny our voice with your political machinations. Removing Mr. Engardio is the opening salvo in a war with these groups who won’t compromise.
In response to a looming budget shortfall (over $300 million), the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency has cut service from our western neighborhoods to Market Street – the 21 has been eliminated, and the 5 Fulton, the new 6 Hayes/Parnassus, and 31 Balboa no longer operate on Market Street.
There has been much discussion concerning the handover of the Upper Great Highway to our effete bicyclistas, but there has been little to no examination of the perpetuators’ motives.
What Engardio really wants is to save is his political career, not his “job.” If he cared about the role of supervisor, he would take his duties seriously.
Eddy Rubin’s lifelong love of Ocean Beach inspired him to collect his experiences and observations into a new book, “Ocean Beach: Fog, Fauna, and Flora,” illustrated by Inner Richmond resident Greg Wright, released on Aug. 12 from Heyday.
