Letter to the Editor: Questions About Engardio’s Plans for the Homeless
In his most recent essay “Why Tents Can’t Be Removed,” Supervisor Joel Engardio once more transforms fantasy into reality. Engardio brands a judge’s ruling as “nonsensical.” Why? According to Engardio this is because tents cannot be removed when no alternative shelter is available for the entire population. Let us be clear: Shelters are a temporary solution and do not suit the needs of many. What other solutions are Engardio putting into place?
Letter to the Editor: Use Olympic Club Land for Housing Development
Like many, I was initially skeptical about the claim that there was plenty of space for housing development in the Sunset. But you know what? I’ve changed my mind, on realizing that there is a perfectly splendid piece of land, indeed an acreage for development, which won’t require the sacrifice of any current housing, businesses, or public resources, and which could provide space for all of the City’s new required affordable housing units.
Letter to the Editor: Paint the North End of Robin Williams Tunnel
In the spirit of the successful change.org petition that got the tunnel renamed for Robin back in 2014, we’ve put up a new change.org petition to get the attention of our district’s art commission member to get this thing done.
Letter to the Editor: Problems With Approval Process for Extra GG Park Concert
Since the first concert isn’t projected to take place until after the 2024 Outside Lands, what’s the hurry? Why not put off the vote for a month and follow up on some of the concerns raised? People who depend on the Polo Fields cycling track for exercise and relaxation are locked out for 4-5 weeks if the post-Outside Lands concert is approved.

Letter to the Editor: Questioning Engardio’s Column’s Assertions
Joel Engardio’s latest column contains numerous distortions and unsupportable assertions. First of all, it is necessary to realize that economic and social inequality have much to do with the crimes against property that constitute the vast majority of arrests in San Francisco.
Letter to the Editor: Deal With People Living in Vehicles
Why are laws against sleeping in vehicles not enforced in San Francisco? Is it equitable to residents that laws are not enforced? Why is living and sleeping in vehicles on the streets of San Francisco tolerated?
Letter to the Editor: Children Replace Hateful Messages With Welcoming Notes of Love
I’m a nanny, and the kids I care for, Kento, age 7, and Miya, age 8, noticed vandalism on the wall of the soccer field at West Sunset ball fields. It seems that there had been a fire and then someone used the ash from the fire to write “HELL TO EVERYONE GAY” on a wall everyone must pass walking onto the field. We were early for practice and Miya immediately thought to clean it.
Letter to the Editor: Reply to Greenberg’s Commentary
You want to cry “extreme” and then forget about the reality on the ground. No one is defunding the police. THE POLICE ALREADY GOT A FUND INCREASE.
