Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.

  • October 15, 2018 the Honorable Ahsha Safai the Honorable Malia Cohen, Chair, Budget and Finance Committee San Francisco Board Of
    October 15, 2018 The Honorable Ahsha Safai The Honorable Malia Cohen, Chair, Budget and Finance Committee San Francisco Board of Supervisors San Francisco City Hall 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place, Room 244 San Francisco, CA 94102 Dear Supervisor Safai: I am writing to express Biocom’s concern regarding the proposed Refuse Separation Compliance legislation (File #180646). Biocom echoes the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce’s request for the legislation to be continued, so that stakeholders can find common ground on the details of the proposed regulations with you and the Department of the Environment. Biocom is the largest, most experienced leader and advocate for California’s life science sector. We work on behalf of over 1,100 members to drive public policy, build a network of industry leaders, create access to capital, introduce cutting-edge STEM education programs, and create value-driven purchasing programs. Biocom represents over 100 industry members and those who provide affiliated services in the City of San Francisco. Biocom understands the need for new legislation to assist the city in reaching its Zero Waste Goals. Our concern is that the proposed legislation is too broad to be applied across industries whose operations are diverse and unrelated to one another. The life science industry is required to comply with various existing waste regulations in addition to basic hauling practices, including those related to waste separation, disposal of hazardous materials, and recycling of lab consumables. Our sector is a leading industry in recycling and proper waste disposal because nearly all life science facilities have Cal EPA ID numbers, which make them responsible for tracking any potential hazardous waste “cradle to grave.” To track and dispose of these materials, our facilities implement programs including: Red bags for biomedical waste Secure containers for sharps disposal Separation and consolidation of flammables Our facilities also include services related to the disposal of hazardous materials in contracts with their waste haulers.

Health educators and other public health professionals, however, still develop interventions that focus mainly on “downstream” behavioral risks. Three factors explain the difficulty in translating this knowledge into practice. First, in their allegiance to the status quo, powerful elites often resist upstream policies and programs that redistribute wealth and power. Second, public health practice is often grounded in dominant biomedical and behavioral paradigms, and health departments also face legal and political limits on expanding their scope of activities. Finally, the evidence for the impact of upstream interventions is limited, in part because methodologies for evaluating upstream interventions are less developed. To illustrate strategies to overcome these obstacles, we profile recent campaigns in the United States to enact living wages, prevent mortgage foreclosures, and reduce exposure to air pollution. We then examine how health educators working in state and local health departments can transform their practice to contribute to campaigns that reallocate the wealth and power that shape the living conditions that determine health and health inequalities.

  • Potrero View
    CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO LONDON N. BREED, MAYOR OFFICE OF SMALL BUSINESS REGINA DICK-ENDRIZZI, DIRECTOR Legacy Business Registry Staff Report HEARING DATE JANUARY 13, 2020 THE POTRERO VIEW Application No.: LBR-2019-20-007 Business Name: The Potrero View Business Address: 1459 18th St., #214 District: District 10 Applicant: Bettina Cohen, Marketing Manager Nomination Date: July 15, 2019 Nominated By: Supervisor Shamann Walton Staff Contact: Richard Kurylo [email protected] BUSINESS DESCRIPTION The Potrero View (the “View”) is San Francisco's oldest continuously published community newspaper, beginning in 1970. Dubbing themselves the “Potrero Hill Mob,” Bill and Jodie Dawson, Lenny Anderson, Micky Ostler and Rose Marie Sicoli launched The Potrero View out of the Dawson’s 284 Connecticut Street home. Aspiring to emerge into a newspaper that could influence municipal policy decisions, they received guidance from Eileen Maloney, their first editor who had journalism experience at Long Island’s Newsday and San Francisco's Progress. Potrero Hill resident Ruth Passen started contributing to the View in January 1971. That spring, Passen assumed editorial duties from Maloney, and in 1972, Passen succeeded the Dawsons as publisher of The Potrero View. She retired and turned the newspaper over to Steven Moss in 2006. The Potrero View began publishing its issues from offices in the basement of the Potrero Hill Neighborhood House in June 1972, not long after community advocate Enola Maxwell was elected director of the nonprofit. "The Nabe," as 953 De Haro is affectionately called by locals, is a Potrero Hill landmark, dating back to 1922, and has continuously housed churches or nonprofits that have a mission to serve community members in need, with an emphasis on youth and education.
