このコンテンツについて

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.

    Yes, Redfin and Zillow are great for browsing listings, but will they tell you about the home that hasn’t hit the market yet, the seller quietly desperate to move, or the problems hiding behind perfect staging?

    In this episode of The Sunset Connection, we go back to the basics: real estate is complicated, full of legal and financial pitfalls, and finding someone you trust to guide you through it isn’t easy. Host Jessica Ho sits down with Sequoia Real Estate’s Kelvin Kam and Ted Manahan to tackle the myths, the truths, and the messy reality of being a Realtor in 2025.

    A true professional doesn’t just shuffle paperwork. They help you reach your financial and personal goals, field hundreds of calls, juggle clashing personalities, and manage the liability that comes with high-stakes negotiations. Even in the age of AI, the best Realtors know how to find more information, create more leverage, and deliver better outcomes.

    And because no episode is complete without some fun, they close with a round of San Francisco real estate trivia.

    If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at Realtors, wondered if you really need one, or just want a smarter take on how deals actually get done in 2025, this episode is for you.

    In this episode, Jessica sits down with Carmen and Steven Lee, the creators of Sunset Commons, a brand-new arts and crafts café in San Francisco’s Inner Sunset. The two high school sweethearts turned small business owners talk about what it takes to launch a small business post-pandemic, the importance of third spaces, and why crocheting in public might just save your soul.

    The episode was recorded earlier this summer, but we’re launching it now because Sunset Commons officially opened its doors on August 2nd!

    You’ll also hear about their longtime peer learning group SPREAD (@spread_sf), their favorite DIY kits, and their vision for a Sunset where creativity, community, and curiosity collide.

  • Where Do We Go Now? Processing the BBB as Chinese Americans

    Where Do We Go Now? Processing the BBB as Chinese Americans
    2025/07/15

    Send us a text

    What does it mean to be Chinese American in 2025, when a sweeping new federal law - HR 1, also known as the “Big Beautiful Bill”—fundamentally changes immigration, enforcement, and who feels like they belong?

    NEW! 📝 Transcript and Chinese translation now available on Substack:

    🆕📝 訪談文字稿與中文翻譯現已上架 Substack：

    https://substack.com/home/post/p-168431500

    ---

    In this episode, we speak first with Jose Ng, Immigrant Rights Program Manager at Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA), who breaks down how the BBB impacts mixed-status families, raises application fees, and heightens fear, especially among San Francisco’s estimated 10,000 undocumented Chinese immigrants and their extended communities.

    If you or someone you know needs support, CAA offers free immigration consultations and legal referrals:

    🌐 www.caasf.org/immigrant-rights
    📱 WeChat: CAASF1969

    Then we turn to Cliff Yee, Vice President of Programs and Leadership Development at Coro Northern California and a lifelong resident of San Francisco’s Richmond District. Cliff shares how his family’s story—from his grandfather’s arrival through Angel Island to the same house he grew up in—grounds his efforts to reclaim and reimagine Chinese American identity in a neighborhood too often overlooked, despite its deep immigrant roots.

    Together, we explore what it means to navigate belonging, memory, and resilience in real time - as the ground shifts beneath our feet.
