It wasn’t too long ago that former Supervisor Joel Engardio and Sunset Dunes supporters were loudly proclaiming that local zoning laws would protect the Sunset from from high rise development along Sunset Dunes. That protection was gone in a wave of the hand thanks to the collusion between the City and the CCC staff.
Change is inevitable. The Sunset will continue to evolve. The challenge for the residents lies in campaigning to advance positive evolution, such that the neighborhood is not dethroned from its standing as among the finest of San Francisco. Citizen outrage can and should be channeled positively with eyes upon the future, as opposed to clinging to the past.
The closure of the UGH and the creation of Sunset Dunes Park has been a great boon to the Sunset and our City, enriching and protecting our residents and our coastline.
Supervisor Connie Chan’s recent letter re: Prop. A (Earthquake “Safety”) bond measure comes to the wrong conclusion. The best course for San Francisco voters, especially for those of us in neighborhoods such as the Outer Richmond, Outer Sunset, Ingleside, Crocker-Amazon, Excelsior and at least 10 other western and southern neighborhoods, is to Vote “no” on Prop. A.
Of course people need access to their garages. But this level of vigilance feels out of proportion to the harm. We’re talking about inches of space and minor, inevitable mistakes—not real threats.
District 4 voters deserve to hear from all legitimate candidates, and not just the ones who have raised the most money. An honest forum is one that lets voters decide for themselves.
My name is Jasper and I am 14 years old, born and raised San Francisco resident. I am currently a freshman at University High School. I am writing to share my proposal to change the San Francisco flag and the interesting story about it.
Mayor Lurie’s “Proponent Ballot Argument” is not just one lie, it is a statement chock-full of lies with the intention of foisting all of them on the voters in the official Voter Information Pamphlet that is mailed to every registered voter in the City and County of San Francisco.
The west side of SF requires attention to fire risk. Another bond will accomplish nothing, or worse. There are better approaches.
The San Francisco County Transportation Authority is hosting a virtual town hall to discuss the Geary/19th Avenue Subway project planning which includes the Richmond and Sunset districts.
San Francisco has over 500 polling stations, for primary and general elections. Therefore, each election year, we can save about $5 million from the City’s budget by making it all mail-in ballots and having one well-run polling station in each District.
Lurie’s father may be a rabbi, but his values do not reflect those of the Ashkenazic American Judaism with which so many of us were raised. A sincere apology is required.
Your experience of the Sunset District may have brought one particular person to your attention. CARL GUERRA was a developmentally-disabled adult who lived near 39th Avenue and Wawona Street. He had an amazing personality which enabled him to reach out to people of all ages and engage them in conversation.
Artificial turf should never have been used in the playing fields of Golden Gate Park and it should not be used in the renovation of the Crocker/Amazon playing fields. It is toxic, pollutes the environment and poses a danger to all San Franciscans. Plastic grass continually sheds microplastics and can’t be recycled or disposed of in a landfill.
I was very severely injured but a Muni bus on Oct 27, 2025.
I need to find the EMT’s and those two guys that saved my life and thank them.
