The promoter of Outside Lands has so magnanimously granted us residents of the Richmond and Sunset $35,000 each in so-called Community Benefit Funds from Outside Lands profits. Researched that the Richmond itself has about 35,000 residents, so each of us get a “benefit’ of exactly ONE DOLLAR for the lost weekend of noise and air pollution, heavy traffic, etc. Can assume the Sunset residents “benefit” about the same.
We are opposed to holding the post-Outside Lands (OSL) concert in Golden Gate Park (GGP). The post-OSL concert may be fun for the privileged few who can afford the tickets, but for the residents of the Sunset and Richmond Districts, the neighbors of GGP, it’s no fun at all.
I’m in the east bay, but I enjoy visiting Ocean Beach frequently.
I’m horrified by the frequent fires there and the resulting air
pollution. Also the loose dogs in the Snowy Plover preserve.

The first Sunset Night Market is coming to Irving Street, between 20th and 23rd avenues, on Friday, Sept. 15, 5-10 p.m., to test the concept presented by District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio.
Last December, I was a newly elected supervisor expected to show up at City Hall with ideas to fix things. As my husband and I walked through a Taipei night market, we looked at all the food, entertainment and art. Then we imagined all that fun in the Sunset in the middle of Irving Street.
For the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department’s Therapeutic Recreation Inclusion Services Team, this outdoor adventure does not serve as a movement activity alone. Instead, its greater purpose called for inclusivity for people with disabilities soon entering the workforce.

Broxton’s 2021 piece, “Save Me Joe Louis,” is part of the exhibition titled, “Crafting Radicality,” featuring 42 works by 30 Bay Area artists (both established an up-and-coming), at the de Young Museum, July 22-Dec. 31.
Our teacher, Judy, starts off with a short warmup of ancient, gentle Qi Gong stretches with intriguing names like Buddha Picks Up the Earth, and Picking Up a Feather. Then we progress for the next 45 minutes to the series of 19 continuous movements and one pose, the complete T’ai Chi Chih (pronounced tie-chee-chuh) practice. The movements are soft, flowing and easy to learn.
Paying off a mortgage early or not is a very personal decision. I have clients who just want to own their homes free and clear so that they can have peace of mind that they have no more monthly mortgages or obligations to pay.
The state’s fiscal health is strong. As Assembly budget chair for the last eight budgets, I’m glad to see that our years of fiscal responsibility has positioned our state well to deal with declining revenues. This enables us to protect the progress we’ve made in key priority areas, avoid cuts to core programs and maintain a $38 billion reserve to safeguard against economic uncertainty in California’s new budget.
Between state legislators in Sacramento, like Senator Scott Weiner and Assemblyman Matt Haney, and our spirited supervisors in City Hall, plus their obsequious, obnoxious YIMBY (i.e., “Yes In My Backyard”) cheerleaders, the clamor for housing monopolizes airwaves, the San Francisco Comical and State Capitol minions who’ve decreed that San Francisco must produce 82,000 new housing units by 2030. Why?
To increase housing density on the City’s west side, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors made it easier for single-family homeowners to add rooms or up to four housing units on their single property lots.
