My first visit to Sunset Dunes was a remarkable experience. It doesn’t feel like a road anymore – it feels like an open-air community center. Kids riding bikes, couples walking hand in hand, seniors strolling with an ocean view.
Don’t let a disagreement over a single vote undo decades of environmental and community building progress. Do not sign onto the misguided recall.
Sunset residents deserve answers about who is really running this recall campaign now and how petition signatures will be used by this sudden new leadership. Why have the Sunset grassroots leaders who have been in this fight since the beginning suddenly been replaced by progressive Chesa supporters?
Mayor Daniel Lurie and the SF Planning Department released a map proposing where San Francisco can build more housing by increasing height limits for multifamily buildings.
Engardio governs like a tech CEO chasing buzz – pushing updates, optimizing headlines, and treating constituents like KPIs in a growth funnel. His politics weren’t shaped in town halls but cloned from pitch decks. High on optics, low on usable code.
This isn’t about politics. It’s about honesty. It’s about holding someone accountable who ran on our pain and hopes, only to turn his back once elected. We deserve better. We deserve a voice. We deserve the chance to vote on whether he still deserves to represent us.
Supervisor Engardio’s position on the Great Highway closure does NOT justify a recall. While I disagreed with him on Prop. K, I also know him to be honest, hard-working and dedicated to the needs of our district as well as our City.
You campaigned on listening to residents and protecting families, but your time in office has been marked by deflection, gaslighting and broken promises.
Engardio’s recall is D4’s justified response to his secret legislation, lack of transparency, dishonest and manipulative narrative, and refusal to include and respect his constituents’ rights to participate in decisions that affect their safety and quality of life.
… Yet today, we are still facing a police shortage. In fact, I have been informed that the retired police ambassadors he once touted are now largely gone from the Sunset, with many reassigned to other parts of the City.
We’ve been watching – your blog posts, your press appearances, your quiet dealings – and it’s time we speak plainly. Your campaign to remake the Sunset in the image of Paris is as tone-deaf as it is misguided.
Supporters point to his so-called accomplishments – night markets, restoring Algebra to middle school – but these boutique wins serve only a narrow slice of District 4. What benefits everyone? Reliable transportation.
Public school administrators are facing tough budget decisions this year. I’ve heard from many anxious parents who are concerned about the state of our public school system. High-quality education is essential for keeping families in San Francisco – and our future depends on being a family-friendly city.
You don’t have to agree with every decision Supervisor Joel Engardio has made to recognize that he has delivered real results for District 4 and is deeply committed to continuing that work.
Supervisor Engardio did not lie to us nor try to “sneak” Prop. K on the ballot. During his 2022 campaign, I asked him about his position on the Upper Great Highway. He supported the temporary weekend closure as the best option, versus Prop. I’s 24/7 reopening.
