You’re going to start hearing more debate about “Sit/Lie” over the next few months. Basically it would make sitting or lieing on the ground in San Francisco against the law. The law would help get homeless and drug addicts off the street.

For those of you who follow the whole debate around street food in SF….the NYTimes has a great article on the debate.

There is also a new website for the San Francisco Cart Project. The debate centers around whether it is unfair to restaurants who have to abide by city rules and whether these carts are taking away their customers. My take? They should stop whining and get carts of their own! Take the food to the people.

The San Francisco Bay Area is home to a wonderfully innovative local street food culture that is growing extremely quickly through its combination of technology and mobile, sustainable, food. The SF Cart Project seeks to complement the research of people interested in starting, or expanding, a street food business of their own by providing a relevant central resource for documents, information and community awareness regarding the often confusing (and occasionally contradictory) process of starting and running a legal mobile food business in the Bay Area.

Located on popular and tree lined Folsom Street within walking distance to Bernal Hill Park up above and Precita Park down below, this lovely and loved home has been rebuilt from the studs out. It consists of three levels. The best views are from the rear of the main level with a great deck off the kitchen.

I was driving through the projects the other day and wondered why they were painting them if they are scheduled to be demolished. Knowing that it will be several years before we can begin demolition of even a first phase of construction – this year for environmental evaluation and planning department review, 2011 for design of infrastructure (streets, utilities) and the beginnings of a first phase of buildings, it will be at least 2012 before any relocation occurs – the Housing Authority is trying to be responsive to the needs of their residents by improving the condition of the buildings.
