The Sunset Connection - Perspectives from SF's Sunset Neighborhood
In less than a century, San Francisco’s Sunset District has gone from windswept dunes to one of the city’s most diverse and fascinating neighborhoods. If you’ve ever wondered how it all came to be, or if you just love a good local story, this podcast is for you.
Hey there! I’m Jessica Ho: Sunset resident, local realtor, and neighborhood nerd. By day, I help people find homes on the west side. By night, I’m out exploring everything that makes this place special - from family-run businesses to old-school legends, zoning battles to the best spot for dim sum or BBQ. Every other week, I share what I learn with you.
On The Sunset Connection, we dig into:
🌊 The people who shaped (and are still shaping) the Sunset
🏘️ Stories behind the homes, streets, and schools we pass every day
🍱 Small business spotlights and community updates
📈 Real estate insights, made human
❓Trivia, just for fun
Whether you live here, grew up here, or are just Sunset-curious, this podcast connects you to the people, past, and possibilities of the west side.
So grab a coffee or a boba and tune in. You might find that what’s happening in the Sunset speaks to something in your own life, because that’s the real connection: the human one.
