What’s left to discuss after the election?

Sure, the voting is over and done, but that doesn’t mean the talking has stopped:

Joseph Lillis overheard a customer in a Marin City CVS asking another, “What are the TV stations going to do now that the dialysis ads have dried up?” “Until Black Friday,” the other customer responded, “there’s always that My Pillow guy.”

In some families, there was discourse over the effect of the just-past event, election day, on the future event, Thanksgiving. At the Tanforan food court, Oliver Hernando overheard one woman saying to another, “Grandma disinvited my mom’s new boyfriend after last night’s election.”

Meanwhile, the big yes vote for Proposition E was much applauded by members of the San Francisco arts community who had endorsed the measure tying hotel tax receipts to the city’s Grants for the Arts program. Arts insiders also had reason to rejoice in news, from the other side of the country, that John Killacky has been elected to the Vermont House of Representatives. Killacky received 79.2 percent of the vote in his Vermont district.

Killacky, well known in the San Francisco arts community, came here in 1996 to become head of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. In 2003, he left that post to become programming director of the San Francisco Foundation. And in 2010, he left the Bay Area for Vermont, where he presided over the Flynn Center for the Arts in Burlington. His job in the Vermont House is as a “citizen legislator,” in a body that meets according to what he called “a farmer’s calendar,” from January to May. He said on Thursday that a “number of artists have been elected to this citizens legislature and I think the cultural agenda will move forward in Vermont.”

As to the new San Francisco legislation, when he left, he told The Chronicle he was proud of the foundation working hand in hand with Grants for the Arts to help the city’s cultural groups. Monday’s vote was certainly in keeping with those goals.

“Oh my gosh,” he said Thursday, “I was so excited when I heard about about the new proposition passing for arts funding.” What used to be called the San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund “has been visionary throughout its whole life,” said Killacky. “It has been the model for cities and regions all around the country, and this new iteration just shows again how San Francisco really nurtures, supports and embodies culture.” He said he’d told many arts administrators around the country that they should turn to the San Francisco setup as a model.

Kary Schulman, who has been administrator of what’s now Grants for the Arts since its founding, “is a visionary,” said Killacky. “It’s extraordinary what she’s done, and the grassroots participation in this ballot initiative was extraordinary ... and yay yay yay for San Francisco for passing it.”

Some nearly local real estate offerings, thanks to the Wall Street Journal:

Sunset Point, a large waterfront property on the 17-mile drive in Pebble Beach, is said to be coming up for sale, with an asking price of $32.95 million. The property was owned by Charles de Guigne, who, when he died in 2017, left it to the Community Foundation for Monterey County to be sold to create a fund for local charities. The 9,700-square-foot house, says the Journal, is a “potential teardown.”

And a few weeks ago, the Journal reported that Green Gables, a 74-acre estate in Woodside owned by descendants of Mortimer Fleishhacker Sr., will go on the market. So far, no price has been given, but real estate agent Michael Dreyfus told the newspaper that the property will probably be the most expensive ever sold in the Bay Area.

Angie Thieriot, founder of Planetree, a nonprofit that promotes and educates about patient-centered health care, was honored in October at ceremonies for the 40th year of the organization. “We are the patients,” she said in accepting the accolades, “not some abstract sector of society, but our parents, our spouses, our children.”

Linda Kuhli reports that at the annual Oliver-Trudell Halloween party in Los Altos, a Judges Choice Award went to a woman in an elegant Egyptian dress. She said she was “a Middle Eastern terrorist from the caravan invading America.”
