Letter to the Editor: Why Mar Lost Re-election
I enjoyed reading Julie Pitta’s commentary this morning in the Richmond Review and it felt validating as I agree with her about many things. One exception is my disagreement in the reason stated for Gordon Mar losing the election to Joel Engardio in District 4.
Letter to the Editor: Medicare Refuses to Cover Alzheimer’s Drug
I am stunned that Medicare is refusing to cover an FDA-approved treatment that has been shown to slow the progression of this devastating disease.
Letter to the Editor: Proposed Tower at 2700 Sloat Blvd.
2700 Sloat Blvd.: Place your bets; will it sink or topple over?
Letter to the Editor: Questioning Engardio’s Column’s Assertions
Joel Engardio’s latest column contains numerous distortions and unsupportable assertions. First of all, it is necessary to realize that economic and social inequality have much to do with the crimes against property that constitute the vast majority of arrests in San Francisco.
Letter to the Editor: Deal With People Living in Vehicles
Why are laws against sleeping in vehicles not enforced in San Francisco? Is it equitable to residents that laws are not enforced? Why is living and sleeping in vehicles on the streets of San Francisco tolerated?
Letter to the Editor: Children Replace Hateful Messages With Welcoming Notes of Love
I’m a nanny, and the kids I care for, Kento, age 7, and Miya, age 8, noticed vandalism on the wall of the soccer field at West Sunset ball fields. It seems that there had been a fire and then someone used the ash from the fire to write “HELL TO EVERYONE GAY” on a wall everyone must pass walking onto the field. We were early for practice and Miya immediately thought to clean it.
Letter to the Editor: Reply to Greenberg’s Commentary
You want to cry “extreme” and then forget about the reality on the ground. No one is defunding the police. THE POLICE ALREADY GOT A FUND INCREASE.
Letter to the Editor: Recommendations in the Richmond District
I am writing to share some of my favorite businesses in the Richmond District.
Letter to the Editor: Mayor Breed’s Questionable Choices for Oversight Board
Are we missing something, or is it true that none of Mayor Breed’s four nominees for the Homelessness and Supportive Housing Oversight Board seem to have any experience or credentials in dealing with the problems of homeless citizens?
Letter to the Editor: Remediation Needed – Toxic Plumes Around 2550 Irving St.
My family and neighbors are upset and concerned that we have been breathing gasses that cause cancer. Five of my neighbors on just this block have been diagnosed with cancer, and another neighbor on 27th Avenue recently died from cancer.
Letter to the Editor: A Case for Electing Supervisors by District
City-wide elections for the Board of Supervisors (BOS) means just one thing: money spent on advertising will determine who gets to become a Supervisor.
Letter to the Editor: Give GG Park’s Patrick Quigley the Recognition He Deserves
I would like to publicly nominate Patrick Quigley, a man whom no one has ever heard of, as the most deserving person for the honor of having this feature of Golden Gate Park renamed in his honor.
Letter to the Editor: Street Closures Have Caused Enormous Hostility
There is plenty of existing recreation space for bicyclers and walkers; it is an outrage against the rights of others that these groups should monopolize all the spaces.
Letter to the Editor: Time for Alexandria Theatre to Go
Whatever historic value is probably long gone and it’s time for it to go.
