The (San Francisco) District 4 supervisor race will be nasty, brutish -- and short
There’s an old joke in which two old ladies are sitting down to dinner. One complains that “The food in this place is terrible.” The other responds, “I know! And such small portions!”
That, in a nutshell, will be your District 4 supervisor race. It’s going to be a reductive and nasty — and terrible — slog. But Sunset residents will be voting in less than six months.
The sleepy Sunset, the Outer Boroughs of San Francisco, has, counter-intuitively, become San Francisco’s political Wild Wild Westside. Voters in September overwhelmingly recalled their supervisor, Joel Engardio, for championing the transformation of the Upper Great Highway into a park.
It was the first of many regime changes — Mayor Daniel Lurie on Nov. 6 launched a thousand Google searches by tapping unknown 29-year-old Beya Alcaraz to the role — only for her to resign a week later after post-appointment vetting by the media revealed allegations of appalling conditions at Alcaraz’s former pet shop and her own text messages copping to paying workers “under the table” and skimping on taxes.
