Narrative:

Lda runway 28R in sfo: I know why they asked if we would accept the approach now. I feel the approach has the potential to put a flight's safety in jeopardy. Especially unfamiliar crews. Parallel traffic on runway 28L I feel should be 3 mi staggered. With only 3/4 of a mi it's just another thing to worry about. I will not accept this approach again.
