Letter to the Editor: Don’t Close Critical Upper Great Highway
Prop. K doesn’t serve San Francisco’s needs; it disregards essential access and creates unnecessary obstacles for residents, commuters and families. By voting “no” on Prop. K, we’re preserving vital access for drivers, maintaining trust in community-based decisions and keeping the Great Highway open for the benefit of all.

From the Editor: Birthday List
Readers, I made a mistake and printed the October birthdays in the November issue of the Richmond Review. I apologize for the mistake. Sorry November babies!
Letter to the Editor: Tired of Being Lied To
While losing our common sense in San Francisco is not a new phenomenon, it’s definitely at a fever pitch over Prop, K, closing the Upper Great Highway (UGH) to cars. I refuse to call it a park because that’s a lie; it’s not going to be a park at all, it’s just closing the road to vehicles. By the way, not all vehicles, since a road is still legally required for emergency vehicles.
Letter to the Editor: Lee for School Board
We’re at a critical moment, and we can’t afford more mismanagement. With your vote, I’ll bring fiscal discipline, a focus on student achievement, and a commitment to better serve our diverse communities.
Letter to the Editor: SFSU Should Not Be Cutting Back Programs
San Francisco State University (SFSU) is essentially shutting down its first- and second-year writing program. We should all be outraged – and we should demand better.
Letter to the Editor: No Reason to Vote for Trump
There is no reason to vote for this man that is based on reality, facts, or reason. It is pure tribalism, us versus them, our team is better than your team.
