Real Estate: John M. Lee
This November, we will have a plethora of ballot measures to go through both on the state and local level. We are already bombarded with ads for online gambling, abortion rights, affordable housing and candidates running for offices. I will stick to my expertise and cover the real estate related measures in this column and comment on others that can have an effect on real estate.

Commentary: Paul Kozakiewicz
Progressives are on the far left ideological spectrum, bordering on socialism where city policy dictates what’s best for everyone and it’s their way or the highway. The progressives got organized in the late ’90s and took control of the DCCC, which gives the official endorsements for Democratic Party and supplies money to its candidates and propositions. That, coupled with district elections and the abomination that is ranked-choice voting, gave us what we have – a mayor and a majority of supervisors who couldn’t find their way out of a corn maze.
‘Looking Back’: Turtle Sundial
Atop the column is a bronze turtle representing the slowness of the passage of time. Atop of the turtle’s back is a vertical bronze hemisphere, with a map of the Americas on the curved side. The flat side of the hemisphere has inscribed portraits of the three explorers above a sundial with the Latin inscription “horam sol nolente nego,” translated by the Colonial Dames as “if the sun is unwilling I don’t tell the time.”

“This year we are senior heavy. The goal is a championship, but step one is to make the playoffs, and step two is whatever happens after that. We are excited; the guys have really bought into the goal of making the playoffs this year.”

Commentary: Sandra Lee Fewer
It is time for new, big, bold ideas to solve the issues that have only gotten worse while worn out, old ideas fail again and again. We need to start thinking outside of four-year electoral terms and look to real long-term solutions and root causes.
Letter to the Editor: Save our Park From Becoming Disneyland at the Beach
The continuing privatization of our parks by Phil Ginsburg is just plain wrong and has been done without full disclosure to the public. Who voted for Doggie Diner heads in our green space?
Letter to the Editor: Kopp Column Item Dishonest
To suggest that there is any similarity between Proposition 1 and the act signed by Gov. Reagan (actually in 1967, not 1970) is preposterous. Judge Kopp must know that the 1967 act, which the sponsors said would reduce the number of abortions in California, was nullified, along with all other state abortion laws, by Roe v. Wade.
Letter to the Editor: New Supporter of “Great Walkway.”
Thanks to the closure, though, I have discovered a new route, one that I never would have taken before.

Commentary: Quentin L. Kopp
The California legislature adjourned Sept. 30, but the condescending SF Board of Supervisors reconvened after Labor Day, ready to repudiate good government at taxpayer expense and act imperialistically with its six-figure annual salary plus pension and medical benefits.
