Letter to the Editor: Looking for Best Approach to Handle City’s Trash
After reading this article, I was curious about whether DPW’s policies actually make sense. Just because it’s what DPW does, does not mean it’s the best approach.
Letter to the Editor: Commentary Misleading About Prop. M
Small property owners may keep units vacant so that family members, out-of-town guests, and health aides, for example, can have a place to stay. They keep the units vacant for future needs because the so-called tenant protections make it nearly impossible and always very expensive to remove a tenant when the owner needs the unit.
Letter to the Editor: Gazebo Florist Closes Its Doors
I would like to inform you that my friend, Craig Sano, has closed his business, Gazebo Florist, 201 Clement St. (at Third Avenue).
Letter to the Editor: The People Have Spoken on JFK/UGH
There can be no doubt about the result: People want car free areas in San Francisco.
Letter to the Editor: The Plague of Increasing Trash Dumping on Our Streets
I’ve lived in the area since 1972 and it has, in the last 10 years or so, become something of a pig sty as far as garbage on the sidewalk and street and, of course, left for someone else to deal with “free” junk piled up on the corners.
Letter to the Editor: Message of Hope for Our Environment
On Oct. 21, 2022, the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) held its Annual Conference in San Jose. Key take-aways include reevaluating our relationship with the land, Native American engagement, habitat for biodiversity on private and public land, and non-native plants and invasive weeds taking up spaces where native plants used to grow. As a member of CNPS and the Center for Biological Diversity, I have a message of hope to share.
Letter to the Editor: Save the JFK Promenade and Great Walkway
JFK Promenade and The Great Walkway, less than three miles, are two places where pedestrians, cyclists, runners, people who are blind, people who use wheelchairs, children, and pets can feel safe and breathe in clean air.
Letter to the Editor: We Are Humans, Not Tech Upgrades
I am retired and able to visit Golden Gate Park when I wish. However, there are retired girlfriends of mine who worked many years as civil servants in SF who do not enjoy that privilege.
Letter to the Editor: Keep the Recently Appointed Board of Ed. Members
This fall, we need to KEEP schools on track and prevent sliding back into a jumble of performative politics and lawsuits. We need to vote to keep Ann Hsu, Lainie Motamedi and Lisa Weissman-Ward on the Board.
Letter to the Editor: Problems with RV Encampments
The City needs an adult in the room to apply tough love to radically improve conditions for both the unhoused and the housed. We treat stray dogs better than the conditions I see many unhoused people living in on our streets.
Letter to the Editor: Life is Good
When I check my phone for the latest news, I’m inundated with talk of recessions, inflation, supply chain issues, rising drug prices, police brutality, an unfair justice system, the housing crisis, etc. Man, my news feed is such a downer. I mean, come on, life is pretty darn good. Isn’t it?
Letter to the Editor: Yes on Prop. I, No on Prop. J
As Gordon Mar’s “pilot project” moves through the city agencies and onto its eventual vote and passage by the Board of Supervisors, the Upper Great Highway’s closure will be allowed to continue without an environmental study through Dec. 31, 2025, for a total of five years and eight months since its initial shutdown, despite the escalation of erosion of our sand dunes and destruction of our wildlife sanctuary from unrestricted foot traffic when vehicles are banned and beachgoers ignore designated crosswalks.
Letter to the Editor: New Leadership for City College
The narrative that gets recycled is that City College is facing financial hardship and needs to tighten its belt and live within its means. For so many, education is the key to a job with a livable wage, improved mental health and increased civic engagement. These are things worth paying for.
Letter to the Editor: Luring More People Onto JFK Drive
A Sept. 27 article in the Chronicle revealed “a project to lure (emphasis mine) more people to JFK” which includes installing three 7-foot-tall Doggie Diner heads along JFK, plus “food trucks, places to grab coffee, areas for buskers and even a small beer garden.”
