Don’t let a disagreement over a single vote undo decades of environmental and community building progress. Do not sign onto the misguided recall.
Letter to the Editor: A Proud Supporter of Sunset Dunes
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: ‘Cast Off Your Cars’
San Francisco’s new puritans are easily recognizable. Unlike the original puritans, who hid their bodies in long woolen clothes, our puritans wear spandex. To be accepted by these elitist puritans, “thou must own a very expensive bike.”
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.
Big Crowd Witnesses Turning Upper Great Highway Into Sunset Dunes
Before Proposition K was on the ballot, another westside promenade stirred fervor in westsiders. Three years ago, in April of 2022, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors established a permanently car-free John F. Kennedy (JFK) Drive in Golden Gate Park, after voters voted to keep JFK walkable, as it was during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and most weekends out of the year before that. Five years later, it is difficult to imagine that the mile-and-a-half stretch was once one of the City’s major arteries for cars.
Letter to the Editor: UGH Closing Is Unsafe, Unjust and Unfair
Engardio’s recall is D4’s justified response to his secret legislation, lack of transparency, dishonest and manipulative narrative, and refusal to include and respect his constituents’ rights to participate in decisions that affect their safety and quality of life.
Letter to the Editor: Supporting the Recall
Supporters point to his so-called accomplishments – night markets, restoring Algebra to middle school – but these boutique wins serve only a narrow slice of District 4. What benefits everyone? Reliable transportation.
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.
Press Release: New Coastal Park Named ‘Sunset Dunes’
A new chapter in San Francisco history has begun, as the Recreation and Park Commission has selected a name for the City’s latest park: Sunset Dunes, the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department announced today.
Letter to the Editor: New Park a Crown Jewel
Despite concerns raised by some, we’ve had no trouble at all navigating to the hospital—often during rush hour—using Sunset Boulevard and Golden Gate Park.
Lawsuit Against Closing UGH to Be Heard in June
A lawsuit challenging the closure of San Francisco’s Upper Great Highway (UGH) to vehicle traffic will be heard in a civil court in June.
Letter to the Editor: Plenty of Questions About the New Ocean Beach Park
Don’t you think you had better slow down ramming this park idea down our throats and what artwork should be commissioned?
Letter to the Editor: Urging D4 Residents to Reject Recall Effort
From the very beginning, Joel has been open and honest with his constituents – both about the inevitable closure of the Great Highway, but also his support for a permanent park. Just because some people don’t like the outcome doesn’t mean we should recall an effective supervisor.
Letter to the Editor: Opposed to Engardio Recall
I oppose the recall, not just because it is a waste of taxpayer dollars, but because Supervisor Joel Engardio has done a tremendous job on the Board of Supervisors. He deserves to finish out his term, because he has been delivering results and improving our lives since day one.
