#RussianHill is the quintessential walkable neighborhood, and even there, the urban environment is distorted and scarred by the social and physical toxins of the decades-long privileging of car culture.

In the 1980s, the #RussianHill Neighbors group fought against street-sweeping rules, seeking to preserve their parking spots instead. “People who would have had to move their cars made it abundantly clear that they prefer dirtier streets, which is what they got left with.” https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/russian-hill-street-sweeping-ban-18326595.php

@flightdeck #RussianHill / #NorthBeach area. Wife's family has had this house for 3 generations. Crazy, my kid's room was hers when she was a kid, and her mom's when she was a kid.

But I'm from #LongIsland by way of #Pittsburgh #PA 20+ yrs ago.

And I have to say, this past week is the closest I've felt to living in a community.
