In 2005 the map allows us to see another level of connection. It makes me think of personal geographies and my sense of space and community in a new way. It reminds me of Daniel Libeskind's architecture and all of the individual connections to each other in the city through time and space. I encourage more experiments with design and limits/extentions of the map.

That is, view the just the inner sunset or just SOMA since it's easier to tell where the strange outliers are then.

What are the various colors meant to represent? In order to define neighborhoodsthis could be the perfect solution. There are vast areas that are totally unknown. In fact there aree only a few definitive neighborhoods presently known. This has a lot of potential but it is confusing presently. What are the various colors meant to represent?

But I'm trying to get my head around exactly how I could use this where I live... which is not SFO and not even in CA. I'm in a rural part of north Fla (farms, cows, etc). I may be the only person for 20 miles that reads cl. Certainly there are a number of community names here (one being the city on the mailing addy). I can see the value and how it forms a consenus opinion of where a 'named place' begins and ends. Again, I'm trying to figure out how I could use it. This is cool.

My buddy just got mugged in the lower haight by a gang of teens and, gulp, a 6 or 7 year old kid. Now, most of us have a mental map of where crime is happening in the city, and the cops certaintly have a map, but how helpful would it be to have an organic service that has this type of info in it? A little more than "defining" city neighborhoods... my2cents.

It attempts to define neighborhoods based on the "collective opinions of internet users," (quote from the descriptive text at the top of this page). This will give us the much needed answers to the riddles our time, such as: Stockton and Bay: North Beach of North Waterfront? Hermann and Fillmore: Lower Haight or Duboce Triangle? Is there such a neighborhood as Dolores Heights? How about the Deco Ghetto? However, I know people who live around Broadway and Jones and insist they live in North Beach so that tells you how "skewed" personal ideas of neighborhood can be. I think Jon has the idea here.

I've always wondered whether I was in Potrero Hill or the Mission District... it looks like this map is allowing people to define their address as being in a particular neighborhood, so over time, this will be a definitive map of where SF neighborhoods actually are.
