The City continues to change — one flower at a time: [I would like to] thank the brave San Franciscans who struggle to keep the city alive and make it the lovely place it is today ["The War of the Roses," Joe Eskenazi, feature, 11/19]. Today, the city no longer needs any one person in particular except those who can afford [to live here] and as far as these new upstarts are concerned, posterity isn't in their vocabulary or emotional memory bank; just cold hard cash resides there.

Enjoying the (Sometimes) Great Outdoors
Reader believes City Service Auditors missed one: Um, Duboce Park isn't on the list ["Nature's Bounty," Joe Eskenazi, News, 11/19]? How is that possible? It's the best in the City! It has the most European feel for sure! Shhhhh!

One reader points to the length of tuition repayments: Students are tired of overpaying for degrees that will keep then enslaved until the grave ["UC Protests Get Heated in San Francisco," Erin Sherbert, the Snitch, 11/19]. No one in the UC system should be paying student loans in their 30s and 40s.

Another reader feels the students are getting a bargain: Every university system raises rates; California is still a bargain compared to other rate increases and tuitions [of other university systems], and these don't compare to how expensive it is to live in California.

Reader points to another way of helping the food banks — showing up to volunteer: You can also volunteer directly at the food bank, which is lots of fun ["Help S.F. Food Banks by Drinking Cocktails — Lots of Them," Lou Bustamante, SFoodie, 11/19]! Maybe after a few of these drinks.

Correction
In our story "Copying Off the Test," [Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez, 11/19], we attribute an allegation that for-profit colleges target poor students with ads overselling the worth of the degrees and that for-profit college students often go broke after graduation to CCSF Chancellor Brice Harris. The allegations actually came from Attorney General Kamala Harris. SF Weekly regrets the error.
