Letter to the Editor: Senior Housing at 1234 Great Highway Ill Advised
Mr. Shanks’s article makes light of what are serious matters for the future of San Francisco and may even mislead the public into thinking that this is a “done deal” when it is not. There are neighborhood and citywide renters, merchants, homeowners, taxpayers from all walks, the arts, education, construction, healthcare, and IT, organizing to bring, as it were, water to this drought of intelligent, imaginative and caring ideas.
Real Estate: John M. Lee
This is the question I get asked almost every day: “Is this the right time to buy real estate?” People ask this for several reasons depending on who they are.
Richmond Painter Captures View North from GG Park Along Fulton
The image is simple: The border of Golden Gate Park and Fulton Street, cars whizzing by. Neighbors and their dogs meander through the scene, telephone wires swing in the breeze; 22nd Avenue stretches out as if to touch the Bay. In the center of the frame stands artist Nathaniel J. Bice, back to the trees, head bowed over his easel, hands capturing the live Richmond landscape with his paintbrush and gouache.

Commentary: Quentin L. Kopp
Over five years ago, I opined in these pages about then U.S. Senator Kamala Harris and her dishonesty in securing $97,000 from California taxpayers as a member of the California Unemployment Insurance Board to which she was appointed in 1993 by her boyfriend Willie Brown, then-Assembly Speaker, while simultaneously paid by Alameda County taxpayers as an Alameda County deputy district attorney, supposedly a full-time endeavor. The following year (1994), she was named to the California Medical Commission at an even higher tax-paid salary which was increased in 1998 to $99,000 per year. Somehow, she evaded a state law prohibiting payment for two jobs which might result in conflicting responsibilities.
