She was a breath of fresh air for those who read the RR – a progressive voice who wrote informed columns on affordable housing, how things work in the City, etc. I will miss her.

Letter to the Editor: Concentration of Wealth a Cause of Homelessness
“Fact: SF NIMBYs, such as they exist, are not stopping housing right now; the Federal Reserve and the preferences of speculative capital are. The City has approved tens of thousands of housing units that could break ground today, no NIMBY opposition, no frivolous lawsuits …”

Letter to the Editor: Is Marjan Philhour the Best District 1 Candidate for Supervisor?
I posted photos of Marjan’s postcard’s front and back on X (Twitter) along with a few of my comments of concern, and wow, did I get an earful of criticism from some Marjan fans, demanding I not knock her and instead support her unequivocally, asserting she’s the best candidate to depose incumbent Connie Chan next year.

Letter to the Editor: Not Happy With Staged ‘Funeral’ on Geary
On Aug. 14, a group of Geary merchants and supporters staged an event using a COFFIN on the sidewalk in front of my business. I was not asked permission; the landlord was not asked permission.
