As we all know, the Richmond is not immune to crime. We often face the same public safety issues as the rest of the City, although we are not given the same resources.

Last month, my office welcomed the Golden Gate Park Community Benefit Fund recipients and Another Planet Entertainment to the Richmond Recreation Center to jointly announce $110,000 in funding for community-based organizations and programs benefiting the Richmond.

As your district supervisor, I am working to deliver the public safety resources the Richmond needs and deserves. With the mayor and her administration prioritizing the revitalization of downtown over our neighborhoods, we are seeing an increase in burglaries on the west side; we experienced two incidents where suspects drove vehicles through the front of businesses, and our small businesses are reporting an increase in broken windows and stolen goods.
Letter to the Editor: Marjan Philhour Is Off Base, Misleading
Public safety is a big priority for many voters today, including myself. Over the last year, I have had my store on Geary Boulevard broken into many times. Many residents are concerned that crime has become more prevalent and too many of those crimes go unsolved. In light of these concerns, it’s natural that we look for the causes.

Last December I sent out a message to Richmond neighbors about the mayor and her Planning Department’s plan to upzone the entire City, which would increase the building height limit on our streets. In the Richmond, this means Geary Boulevard could have buildings as tall as 140 feet at some intersections. I asked our community for input on these plans because your voices are important in this process.
