About this listen

The Sunset District isn’t just fog and quiet streets. It's one of San Francisco’s most dynamic west side communities, shaped by decades of migration, culture, and change. If you’re into Sunset real estate, San Francisco local history, or simply love discovering the stories behind the neighborhoods you pass every day, this podcast is for you.


I’m Jessica Ho: local realtor, community connector, and proud Sunset resident. Each episode, I sit down with the people who built this corner of the west side: small business owners, longtime families, civic leaders, educators, artists, and neighborhood legends whose stories rarely get told.


On The Sunset Connection, we explore:


- The people who shaped the Sunset District;
- The history behind the homes and institutions of west side San Francisco;
- Small business spotlights, community updates, and neighborhood culture;
- Human-centered insights into Sunset real estate;
- Conversations with Sunset legends and emerging voices; and
- The surprising layers of San Francisco local history hiding in plain sight.


Whether you grew up here, live here today, or are simply Sunset-curious, this show connects you to the people, stories, and spirit of a neighborhood that’s constantly evolving, but never losing its heart.


And if you’re curious about the market or just want to continue the conversation off the podcast, don’t hesitate to reach out

    Jan 28 2026

    Send us a text

    This episode continues The Sunset Connection’s District 4 Candidate Series, where each candidate for Supervisor is asked the same questions in the same format.

    In this conversation, Jeremy Julian Greco - a longtime District 4 resident, educator, artist, and former worker-owner at Other Avenues Food Co-op - shares his personal connection to the Sunset, what led him to run for Supervisor, and how his background shapes his approach to leadership.

    Topics include community care, support for working families and seniors, small businesses, and the role of art and culture in San Francisco neighborhoods.

    This is a non-endorsement interview. The goal of the series is to give District 4 residents the opportunity to hear directly from candidates in their own words before the race is reduced to slogans and sound bites.

    About this series:
    This is a non-endorsement candidate interview series. All participating candidates were asked the same questions in the same format to give District 4 residents direct access to how candidates think, not to persuade or advocate for any outcome.

  • District 4 Candidate Series: David Lee on Leadership in the Sunset
    Jan 25 2026

    Send us a text

    This episode continues The Sunset Connection’s District 4 candidate interview series.

    I’m speaking with every candidate running for Supervisor and asking the same questions, in the same order, to give Sunset residents a clear look at how each candidate thinks and approaches decision-making — before campaigns get condensed into slogans.

    In this episode, I’m joined by David Lee, a Sunset homeowner, lifelong Westside San Franciscan, and educator. David previously served as a San Francisco Recreation and Park Commissioner, where he worked on neighborhood projects including Sava Pool, Sunset Rec Center, and McCoppin Square. He has also spent decades registering Asian American voters across the Bay Area through his work with the Chinese American Voter Education Committee.

    We discuss what motivated him to run, how his experiences shape his approach, how he prioritizes competing community voices, and what success would look like in his first year as supervisor.

    All candidates who agreed to participate were asked the same questions in the same format.

    This episode continues the District 4 candidate mini-series on The Sunset Connection.

    I’m speaking with every candidate who agrees to participate, using the same questions and the same format each time. The goal is simple: to give Sunset residents the opportunity to hear directly from the people asking for their vote.

    In this conversation, I’m joined by Natalie Gee, Chief of Staff to Supervisor Shamann Walton and a candidate for District 4 Supervisor. Natalie discusses her priorities, her approach to problem-solving, and what she hopes to accomplish for the district. Each interview includes a shared scenario question designed to help listeners compare how candidates approach problem-solving

    Local elections are often decided by very small margins. Clear, direct information matters, and this series is intended to help voters make thoughtful decisions by hearing from candidates in their own words.
