Curbed SF has a new editor, Sarah Hromack and she is ready to kick some ass! She has not wasted even one second at the helm, publishing a TON of content. The side navigation bar has been reorganized and updated (now RSSing everything!) and we’re excited to see what she has in store.
One thing that all of us San Franciscan’s should do for the new editor is rock the vote: Which Blue are you?

Barking dogs in your ‘hood? Loud meth-heads next door? Pigs squealing? All night raves?
If you like those sorts of things and want to live nearby, you can use Rotten Neighbor to get close to the action. If you want to stay away, Rotten Neighbor is also helpful…
This is pretty amusing. I haven’t seen anything like it. Take a peek, drop your zip code in there and see what pops up.

A few months ago, Yahoo! Real Estate released its thoughts on the top 10 cities that are doing a great job at putting residents first in terms of “greenness.” According to Yahoo! “that means they’re obsessed with clean air and clean water, renewable energy, reliable city buses, trams, streetcars and subways, a growing number of parks and greenbelts, farmer’s markets and, very important, opportunities for community involvement.” Though the cities were ranked in no particular order, San Francisco did make the top 10, along with Portland, Burlington, Santa Monica, Austin, Minneapolis, Boulder, Madison, New York and Chicago.
San Francisco, CA
“To the superlatives the City by the Bay has acquired over the decades — steepest, foggiest, most expensive — add greenest. With bus, subway and ferry services that reach throughout the Bay Area, avid bikers and devoted car poolers, San Francisco has a good track record for getting people out of their cars. In fact, more than half the city’s residents use public or alternative transportation to get to work. With Golden Gate Park, the newly-decommissioned Presidio, beaches, extensive bike paths and access to the Pacific and the Bay, the city has an abundance of recreational options. Prevailing winds from the water help keep pollution at bay. The city is also a leader in green building, with more than 20 building projects registered for official green certification. And city residents are willing to tax themselves. Voters said yes to allowing the city to sell $100 million in revenue bonds to support renewable energy.”

On Wednesday night, Mayor Gavin Newsom carved some time out of his busy schedule to speak with the residents of Bernal Heights. Mayor Newsom spoke in a town hall-like setting in the local laundromat, Bernal Bubbles. Due to the small size of the venue, Home San Francisco (Bernal Bubble’s building mate) set up a theater like setting, projected the conversation on the wall and invited everybody in to relax on our couches and chairs to listen to the Mayor answer the questions posed by the local residents. The Mayor spoke about street cleaning in Bernal Heights, pot-holes, home ownership, TIC’s and tenants, affordable housing, public housing, city services and green business initiatives among other things. The discussion was part of the Soap Box Lecture Series which featured the porn star and author Annie Sprinkle last week and was also broadcast at Home San Francisco. We are forging a relationship with Bernal Bubbles to continue bringing you the lecture series while providing a comfortable environment for the folks of the neighborhood to enjoy.
As new lectures are planned, we will post a schedule and remind you to stop by.
