Herein anticipated actions by the elected School Board members would constitute a clear violation of the Brown Act by committing $10 million of public funds without an adequate public hearing on the basis for such expenditures.
At opposite ends of the Outer Sunset, two local creatives are using visual art to activate public spaces and start conversations among neighbors. Public art inherently invites appreciation and criticism from the community. While many people have expressed gratitude for their work, both artists have experienced vandalism of their pieces.
Recent police activity in the Sunset District.
With the holiday season upon us, we are all craving a sense of comfort, familiarity and normalcy. We want to see our family and friends, share meals and be together. But these aren’t normal times, and this new surge is the most dangerous we’ve seen since the earliest days of the pandemic.
In a historic election, that took place during a pandemic and included an all-time-high number of mail-in votes, it was unclear how long it would take for results of local races to become definitive.

I am writing regarding a vibration pollution problem in the Sunset and Parkside. I suspect the problem is related to either the domestic water supply system or the auxiliary water supply system.
I cringe to think in my 85th year what names the committee will attach to these schools that have been attended by my father, sister, wife, three daughters and four of my grandsons.
