Supervisor Engardio is trying to distract Sunset residents with talk about the Great Highway and Sunset Dunes. But this recall isn’t about roads or parks, it’s about accountability. He continues to divert attention from the real reason he’s being recalled, Supervisor Engardio has failed to represent our Sunset District.
San Francisco YIMBYs love to ask a bad-faith question: “Why are you so against a homeowner wanting to build a multiplex on their property?”
It assumes homeowners want multiplexes when most clearly do not and tries to paint neighbors defending their community as selfish.
Joel Engardio repeatedly claims that he shouldn’t be recalled over a single issue – the deceitful way he secretly placed the Prop K closure of the Upper Great Highway on the Nov. 2024 ballot against the wishes of his constituents. The recall is about HIM, and his lack the character and integrity.
There were no town halls, no real dialogue, only expedited changes pushed through without input.
In less than one month, a nearly year-long effort to oust District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio will occur on one condition: People get out and vote yes on Proposition A.
The recall isn’t about reopening a road. It’s about holding a supervisor accountable for lying to get elected, silencing his own district, and undermining democracy.
We need to send a message to these radical idealogues: You can’t deny our voice with your political machinations. Removing Mr. Engardio is the opening salvo in a war with these groups who won’t compromise.
There has been much discussion concerning the handover of the Upper Great Highway to our effete bicyclistas, but there has been little to no examination of the perpetuators’ motives.
What Engardio really wants is to save is his political career, not his “job.” If he cared about the role of supervisor, he would take his duties seriously.
I’m not anti-music. I’m anti-making two residential districts bear the cost of parties we didn’t ask for. The City should move these festivals downtown, where the energy and the business are needed most.
If RR/SB readers received a mailed postcard notice for the 9/11/2025 Planning Commission public hearing about the S.F. Family Zoning Plan, they are owner, resident or business tenant of property adjacent to the proposed rezoning area, or interested parties on record with the Planning Department.
Engardio misled voters to push his agenda. He’s now misrepresenting facts again to fight his recall. We can no longer trust our Supervisor.
My purpose with this letter is to make people, especially voters, aware of the damage Engardio has caused to the Sunset District that he was SUPPOSED to be looking out for.
I understand people are unhappy with Sunset Dunes but attacking supporters verbally and on social media has gone far beyond civil discourse.
Thanks to a voter-approved initiative, Sunset Dunes has transformed into an inviting area for pedestrians and cyclists. As someone who has often hesitated to ride a bike in the City, I found this car-free zone empowering.
