Four years ago, SSR was started to make the great highway permanently car-free. Now, sunset dunes is one of SF's most popular parks. Like the embarcadero and central freeway removals, there may be more fights ahead, but we're not going back.

The recall shows a few things:
-Reactionary politics is inherently unsustainable; the recall-loving, pro-car base that engardio relied on to win in '22 immediately turned on him the minute he did his only visionary act
-Initial data indicates the recall—despite getting some prog engagement—was driven by conservative voters who refuse to acknowledge we live in a city and deny our climate emergency
-More D4 voters voted yes on prop K than yes on recall. This vote was not a referendum on the park
