One of my pet peeves is that my neighborhood, Bernal Heights is like an unincorporated part of some third world country. There are blocks with no sidewalks or curbs, and the streets are like dirt roads. Potholes abound and I will see abandoned cars, washing machines and other garbage accumulating and staying for very long periods of time. It feels like my neighborhood is a forgotten wasteland completely ignored by the city of San Francisco. I am a property owner and I pay my taxes but they certainly don’t come back into this neighborhood.

Hang in there! The newly passed budget has the largest ever amount of money in years for fixing the infrastructure of the city - that includes potholes, sidewalks, etc. Be sure to bug your supervisor to make sure your district gets its fair share! (smile). By the way, for specific issues such as “large pothole on such-and-such street” you can call the new 311 number and open a complaint. I have heard that the 311 number has been very effective - especially when the complaint is specific as to exact location and problem. Try it.
