Looks like Karl the Fog rolled in and temporarily obscured our first post. But hey, if our city can reinvent itself, so can we! Take 2, action! I'm incredibly proud to share the "Heart of the City" video series. 7 neighborhoods, 7 films, 1 love letter to San Francisco. This project wouldn't have been possible without our amazing team: - Lynn Bruni-Perkins, CDME: Unwavering leadership support - Tyler Cohn: MVP from strategy to launch. The glue of this project. - Charles Rubinoff: Invaluable on-location and editing insights - Louis Raphael: Crafted a stunning digital home for the series - Aaron Danzig: Look out for all our social content - Maddie Pratt: Kept our content marketing machine running smoothly - Brenton Gieser and Estevan Padilla (LvL Films): You both went above and beyond as our filmmaking partners And let's not forget the real stars of this show: the San Franciscans who opened their doors and hearts to us. Nearly two dozen locals who didn't just tell their stories but lived them right in front of our cameras. Their honesty, their love, their unwavering belief in SF's magic – that's what makes this project truly special. These folks remind us why San Francisco isn't just another dot on the map. It's a living, breathing, one-of-a-kind place that keeps reinventing itself while never losing its soul. --- If you still believe in the magic of San Francisco, repost ♻️ this to your network.

This article does a very good job of putting some recent statistics in context. Well worth the time it takes to read! #baileys #carencro

San Francisco Bay Area State of Mind

Did you hear? Trees are the biggest health hack for city dwellers. Greening cities with trees not only helps to cool and clean the air but also has a significant impact on the health of the people who live there. The Green Heart Project in Louisville, KY has provided the strongest evidence to date of the positive relationship between trees and human health. This groundbreaking study has shown that by strategically planting the right trees in the right places, cities can foster happier, healthier communities.   . In New York, we couldn’t agree more. We’re committed to ensuring the future of New York City's urban forest for all in a just and equitable way. Achieving our goals requires good science, an inspired vision, a powerful and effective voice, a diverse community and opportunities to connect New Yorkers to their trees. And that’s exactly what we’re doing through our Forest For All NYC coalition. Learn more at https://forestforall.nyc/

Hopefully the plan is figuring out how to solve our existing problems in town, as well as around our schools like damaged streets, speeding in our school zones, & making it safer for all students who walk to school before we continue to keep building apartments/houses. Every morning when I drop my kiddos off at school, I can’t help but to be annoyed at the fact that so many people are such in a rush, they don’t take in regard for any student that may be walking to school. Our “small” city is growing. No doubt about that. But when the speed limit in the school zone is 25 and you have people going 35 constantly, it’s entirely aggravating. There’s never any police presence overseeing. Not to mention, the “back roads” which my main way to and from home, is constantly getting congested now due to adding more apartments/ houses and now a LAGOON. Peoples land/ranches have been bought out and our city can’t even fix the problems we have now. Or what about the fact that the streets are all uneven beyond what you expect. If you’re not going 10, you might misalign your vehicles. No speed limit signs posted so people go whatever speed they want to, and don’t even get me started on 380! It is the worst hwy going through town ever!! It’s dangerous to say the least. Two lanes each way, and constant accidents every day. Something’s gotta give. I hope she has solutions to move in the right direction.
