… while the recall is behind us, the question before us is clear: How do we move forward together?
Letter to the Editor: How Will D4 Move Forward Together?
Letter to the Editor: Suffering the Consequences of Bad Policies
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.
Letter to the Editor: Engardio’s Legacy of Concealment and Betrayal
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.
Letter to the Editor: Recalling Engardio Is Misguided and Costly
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.
Commentary: Gordon Mar
As a former supervisor for the district and an elected member of the San Francisco Democratic Party County Central Committee, I believe the Party made the right choice on Aug. 27th in voting to take a No Endorsement position.
Commentary: Engardio Betrayed Voters and Compromised Westside Public Safety
The lived experience of D-4 residents is peppered with impacts. Where we go, how we get there and what we do have become a complicated process of considering safety, transportation constraints, time and family well-being. We have reached a point where enough is enough.
Commentary: Poor Representation of the Sunset District
Sunset District Supervisors Joel Engardio (D4) and Myrna Melgar (D7) were responsible for placing Proposition K on the ballot last year, which asked voters citywide whether they wished to have a new park out at the beach, thus rendering the permanent closure of the Upper Great Highway fait accompli. They did this even though the residents of District 4 and 7 overwhelmingly opposed the closure, which would massively disrupt many of their daily lives.
Letter to the Editor: Engardio Recall Justified
Engardio misled voters to push his agenda. He’s now misrepresenting facts again to fight his recall. We can no longer trust our Supervisor.
Dept. of Elections Certifies Petition to Recall Engardio
The San Francisco Department of Elections confirmed on May 29 the petition to recall District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio contained 10,523 valid signatures, above the required threshold of 9,911 signatures needed.
Letter to the Editor: Closing UGH Created More Harm Than Good
This isn’t just about closing a road. It’s about removing vital infrastructure without a clear plan, while ignoring the voices of the communities most affected.
Letter to the Editor: Sunset Dunes Is the New Crown Jewel of the West Side
My first visit to Sunset Dunes was a remarkable experience. It doesn’t feel like a road anymore – it feels like an open-air community center. Kids riding bikes, couples walking hand in hand, seniors strolling with an ocean view.
Commentary: Albert Chow
This recall is about restoring honest leadership and respect for community input. We deserve a supervisor who listens, engages and unites, rather than one who divides and deceives.
Letter to the Editor: Let the People Vote on the Recall of Engardio
This isn’t about politics. It’s about honesty. It’s about holding someone accountable who ran on our pain and hopes, only to turn his back once elected. We deserve better. We deserve a voice. We deserve the chance to vote on whether he still deserves to represent us.
Letter to the Editor: Against Engardio Recall
Supervisor Engardio’s position on the Great Highway closure does NOT justify a recall. While I disagreed with him on Prop. K, I also know him to be honest, hard-working and dedicated to the needs of our district as well as our City.
Letter to the Editor: Why Did Sierra Club Endorse Prop. K?
It is shameful that the San Francisco chapter of the Sierra Club supports a project that will degrade the environment and increase pollution from car exhaust. Something is very wrong there.
