Writers on the storm: For every citizen of San Francisco who reads this well-written and informative article ("Shit Storm," Julia Carrie Wong, 10/15/15), please take the time to write Mayor Lee and your supervisor urging them to take the necessary steps to (1) properly compensate all of the victims of the city's sewer and storm drain system failure for their documented losses, and (2) fix this problem. The entire city benefits from the use of the storm and sewer system, but it's a very small section of the city that suffers when the system fails. Mark Epstein

Better late than Lee: I didn't see this guy do a darn thing of substance to dump Ed Lee earlier this year or earlier in Ed Lee's term ("The Man Who Cursed the Mayor," Chris Roberts, 10/15/15). Where was this brilliant, oh-so-smart POC street prophet in 2011? Was he actively helping one of the other candidates? No, because people like him think elections are for nerds and don't care. Now that he can boost his struggling "hip plop" career with an Ed Lee diss, he's active — when it's useless. This is why the Mission is evicting your ass, dude. Equipto Unequipped

See Jane Run: I pray this woman is not elected to the state senate ("State Senate Race Gets Interesting With Candidacy of Jane Kim," Jeremy Lybarger, The Snitch, 10/14/15). She is presently the representative for S.F.'s Tenderloin, South of Market, and Mid-Market areas — just look at one of those districts and ask yourself if this woman deserves to be in government. I wish she'd go back to wherever she came from because she has ruined this city! Douglas

Missing the point, part one: San Fran is full of armed thugs ("Argument That Began Aboard Muni Bus Leaves Victims With Life-Threatening Injuries," Jeremy Lybarger, The Snitch, 10/16/15). Meth, heroin, and crack heads are everywhere. The buses are about as safe as war zones. This is the price people pay for decades-old Affirmative Action policies where people get civil service jobs because of their sexual orientation, color of their skin, or gender. When's the last time our Dear Readers saw a heterosexual European-American male working a civil service job? Roch

Missing the point, part two: Glad to see I'm not the only Bay Area native getting sick of these out-of-town fucks coming into our city with no regard for the communities or cultures that have been here long before they arrived ("Fatal Police Shooting At 8th and Market," Julia Carrie Wong, The Snitch, 10/15/15). They want to destroy it, so it's time for us real Bay Areans to destroy them back. We won't make this city pleasant for you. We won't take it lying down anymore. We want our city back. If we don't take you out, the earthquake will. That's a fucking promise. Zakku

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
