Furthermore, if we still had at-large elections, there would have been no recall – whom would you recall? The whole Board? Those board members who voted to put this on the ballot?

But the latest development really takes the cake! The San Francisco Botanical Garden Society (now corporate branded as “The Gardens of Golden Gate Park”) is putting gaudy LED lights on a “mile” of trees in Strybing Arboreum (now commercially promoted as the “botanical gardens”).
If the Great Hauntway celebration is truly inclusive to everyone, then it should be fully ADA compliant so disabled children and adults may also attend. This follows the same pattern of deceit used to establish this so-called “park” by widely spreading misinformation. The park’s events are not open to everyone if disability access is inadequate.
Ultimately, Joel Engardio’s speech is completely opposite of the recall’s true results because it falsely presents a narrative of his success, of progress, and of democratic triumph, while the recall actually signifies his voter rejection of his leadership and policies.
I want to sincerely thank Supervisor Joel Engardio for his correct and courageous decision in supporting the transformation of the Great Highway. Even in the face of opposition and political risk, he stood by what he knew was right for safety, livability and the long-term future of San Francisco.
I recently sent the email below to Mayor Lurie. I hope you’ll publish it. The Emergency Firefighting Water Supply (EFWS) has not been expanded to protect the Richmond and Sunset districts in their entirety.
That Prop. 50 is as bad for the Democratic Party as it is for democracy is less obvious but just as real.
The residents of Sunset wanted nothing more than to be respected and to be heard. It’s a damn shame it took a recall election for that to even begin to happen.
… while the recall is behind us, the question before us is clear: How do we move forward together?
When people’s lives are made more difficult they get upset. When a parent sees their child is not getting access to classes they need, attend schools across the City but then the roads are closed and they are dismissed with, “Hey, ride a bike, take Muni, walk!” they become frustrated.
It was brought to my attention yesterday that a letter we published on this website, “Engardio Deserves a Chance to Finish His Important Work,” was not written by the person whose name was attached to the letter. The writer identified themselves as someone working in Supervisor Joel Engardio’s office. I was informed that the letter writer used the person’s name fraudulently – the real Engardio aide never wrote the piece.
I was trying to explain to my neighbors, who had no idea why this was important to keep open during the weekdays, why it shouldn’t be closed.
Here we are. I am only glad my children are adults and I am not driving all over the City.
I am a middle school student who lives near the Sunset Dunes. I love the Sunset Dunes and everything that they have put up there. I wanted to share a kids perspective.
Through Sept. 16, residents of supervisorial District 4 will continue voting on Proposition A – the recall of Supervisor Joel Engardio. Nearly 11,000 signatures were submitted on the official recall petition, a clear sign of deep dissatisfaction with Engardio.
This recall centers on a single issue: the Upper Great Highway. Firstly, recalling Engardio will not reopen the Upper Great Highway to cars. The decision to close the Upper Great Highway and create a public oceanside park was made by voters on Proposition K and no recall will reverse it.
