Seems the comment section of every website full of grouchy, lazy, negative posts like the above. Why not do something about that ugly corner, King of Marigolds? Check out Shotwell Street! It’s like a streetwide garden. My neighborhood has almost none of this and it feels like i’m living in a pre-modern film noir movie set. I’d rather have green sidewalks any day.

Wish my Golden Gate Ave sidewalk wasn’t too narrow to plant! But, the neighborhood at large is starting to do this on Baker St and Broderick St in north panhandle area. And Portland OR is way ahead of SF on this, with its “Greenstreets” work, which was discussed at Streetsblog today

What’s with the increase in citations for sidewalk repairs? All over Noe Valley I see marked sidewalks. I got dinged two months ago myself, and while I can’t exactly argue it needed repairing why now. Does the city really need a bunch of $500 permit fees?

The fun part is that after all the plants die off due to neglect, they fill with trash, weeds and general debris that would have been swept away if there was a cement sidewalk. Makes me feel like I’m in post apocalyptic movie set. Check out the area in front of the community garden 23rd and Folsom.
