Hunter Franks

🎉Congrats to @TLCBD for being selected as a 2022 #AARPCommunityChallenge grantee! Learn more about their project to transform an alleyway in #SanFrancisco’s Tenderloin District into an enlivened public passing space here: states.aarp.org/california/cc2… @StreetsblogSF @sfchronicle

@JurassicParks Who?

@Hunter_Franks Is this a koan?

Fellow writers: I remain befuddled and curious re why/when to use present tense in narrative non-fiction. I know there’s not some clear cut reason, but what do people think of this practice?

Neighborhood report: Tenderloin reimagines its public spaces sfexaminer.com/news/neighborh…

The 200 block of Turk Street will be home to the Tenderloin’s newest park after a community-led initiative identified the space as a key location to provide additional outdoor play and exercise areas for residents. hoodline.com/2021/04/the-te…

The Tenderloin is officially the first neighborhood in SF with a 20 mph speed limit & no turn on red A huge win for a diverse, dense residential community that has fought for this, and long one of the neighborhoods where people are most likely to get hit by fast moving traffic.

We’re thrilled to work with @TLCBD, @sfmta_muni, @sfaaacd and other organizations to support local artists in SF as they transform safe streets infrastructure in their communities into works of art that represent their neighborhood. bit.ly/31HXUv2 #BaysideSaturdays

@lukespray @GrettaLouw Love this

Saw this and thought about the awesome campaign that @GrettaLouw has been working on:

@JurassicParks Hah! I’m trying to remember the name of my guy now!

@Hunter_Franks I remember it fondly...well Type 2 fondly

Heh heh ... applies to so many e-mails over the years

@JurassicParks So excited he picked her

Haaland!

I often advise urbanists to refrain from “empowering” people. Despite urban inequities, PEOPLE ARE INHERENTLY POWERFUL—including marginalized groups. Our job is to create space for people to build healthy power. How do you create space for individuals & communities in your work?

Celebrating this huge win for #Tenderloin children, families, and residents today.

@JurassicParks From what I read Surgical and multi-layer cotton are best. N95 with cloth over it would probably be uncomfortable to breathe (I find it to be)

I'm finding it surprisingly hard to understand the best mask options for self-protection. Looking for my parents who occasionally have to venture into places with unmasked folks. Thoughts? N95 with valve and cloth mask over it? KN95?

Joy in public space in the #Tenderloin @TLCBD @Livablecity @sfmta_muni @jeffreytumlin @MattHaneySF @codetenderloin #playstreets

The city's 180+ playgrounds reopened yesterday, including two recently-remodeled parks in the Tenderloin. buff.ly/3dyQ0Jp
