This photo of reporter Han Li in Paris is San Francisco NIMBY’s worst nightmare. I think those 7 story apartment buildings with ground floor amenities next to a park would look quite nice in the Sunset :) Read more about Paris in the Sunset: engardio.com/blog/paris

Nice to see Sunset Dunes mentioned as a reason why San Francisco’s Outer Sunset is flourishing. A year ago, we only heard a doomsday narrative of traffic “carmageddon” and plummeting property values. The boogeyman never came. Now we can enjoy the benefits of our new coastal park... 1/3

There’s no reason to keep fighting over a park and a road when the park is popular and traffic is fine. It’s time to focus on more pressing issues like affordability, protecting our immigrant community, and everything else that has the world on fire.

What I love most about the Sunset Community Band is that members experience as much joy as they give. They used to play in a high school or college band. But life happened. Their instruments sat in the closet gathering dust. Now, audiences benefit from the reconnection with their musical passion.

There’s something for everyone at Sunset Dunes in San Francisco. First part of this video on Sunday. Second part on Monday. Note: those picnic tables being used on Monday couldn’t exist in a weekend-only park.

My comment after a judge dismissed all claims in the lawsuit against Prop K and the creation of Sunset Dunes: It’s time to consider Sunset Dunes settled. Too many people have seen how the park is good for the environment, local businesses, and the physical and mental health of every visitor.

Merry Christmas from Taipei. Grateful for my husband and extended family, especially after losing my mom in October. Lionel’s mom is cooking our favorite dishes. May everyone be loved and have someone to love this holiday season.

Ran the Taipei half-marathon. The universe served up the perfect song on shuffle as I approached the finish line: Elton John’s “I’m Still Standing” It’s a good reminder that we’re often much stronger than we realize in the face of challenges. If 2025 was tough for you, here’s to still standing!

Another ballot measure on Sunset Dunes will not heal, help, or solve anything. It will only cause harm by taking away all the benefits the park is delivering for the environment, the local economy, and the physical and mental health of everyone enjoying more access to their coast. 1/7

Have you seen the sunset at Sunset Dunes?

My mom died this week. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer less than three weeks ago. When she learned the aggressive tumor could not be treated, her wish was to not have a prolonged or painful death and to not die alone. 1/11

On a recent Thursday, Engardio knocked on doors. “We are not into recalls,” one resident said. “They are a waste of time.” Another resident recognized Engardio. “It feels like in this national and city climate, recalls are just such a waste of money and time.” missionlocal.org/2025/09/sf-s...

Engardio proved himself when he helped secure financial relief for Taraval businesses impacted from years-long construction. “It’s small, but I think those things matter,” said 10-year District 4 resident Tyler Stegall. “Government should be working for the people and that’s a fantastic example.”
