"Dog" parks are actually "people" parks where people recreate and communicate without social division; these inclusive communities enrich our City's spirit and deserve a healthy share of space. The vast majority of responsible dog people are routinely criticized for the mistakes of a few.  I'll keep encouraging dog people to "pick one up for the pack" as well as cleaning up after their own.  There's much more human trash out there but good dog people may pick some of that up, too.  Every little bit helps.  The City's cleaner than ever and it's getting better all the time -- it's Read This Posty »

1. Enforce new cleanliness rule. All publications over one page must have major spine staple. This gives publishers a chance to raise prices. This will stop loose papers from blowing around the streets. City to use revenues exclusively for cost of picking up loose paper. 2. Many owners of dogs and cats do not act responsibly. Prohibit pet-walking in certain area (e.g., business area) 3. Restaurants being squeezed. Transfer some of the tax load to gas stations. Jay Wilmer PAB Member Read This Posty »

Train and hire people that are already in the City, and stop trying to see how much the City can pay to those brought in from elsewhere.  San Francisco has just as many bright, intelligent, educated people as any other major city. I have said this time and time again; we need to accomodate our own first and maybe people won't have to leave this city. Give these young people that want to work jobs in City hall and other city servicing areas, where eventually young people can turn their lives around and be the productive citizens that they can be.

Motorbikes: Terribly noisy... Not to be allowed if at all possible. More education in schools, churches of any denomination about the extra stress people are getting from noise; funny short documentaries could be made at film schools on a college level for a prize. Guess public speakers trainees (and/or Toastmasters) could prepare many speeches on the topic. "A Good Citizen bylaw" should be published, any infraction should enable police department to issue a ticket: Noise! Too many youngsters going home late on week-ends talking, laughing out loud for extended period of times after 10:00 pm - it is happening too often. Door Read This Posty »

There are far too many dogs in this city and they have ruined many aspects of it.  It is impossible to walk down the street in most neighborhoods without seeing dog feces, which also dominates our parks, including our natural areas.  I run on Bernal Hill every day, and it smells like dog feces on warm and hot days due to the proliferation of dogs on the hill.  Hardly a day goes by without my wife and I being disturbed by dogs barking.  Dogs have also ruined our natural areas: on Bernal Hill I see them digging into the hill, Read This Posty »

Problem - Citizens of our city have become accustomed to running their dogs off-leash throughout many areas of our city that are not designated as off-leash areas.  Quite often, off-leash dogs, behaving as dogs do, interfere with and detract from the enjoyment of other citizens in our public open spaces. Solution - Enforce the law.  Matthew Zlatunich Read This Posty »
