Dancing in the Streets of San Francisco
"Paris turns the banks of the Seine into a palm tree-studded, sandy-beach hangout in the summertime, and Bogota, Colombia, bans cars from its busy thoroughfares once a week and gives free aerobics classes in the streets. So why can't a think-outside-the-box city like San Francisco occasionally close its main drag and offer tai chi sessions along the waterfront and let people jog wherever they please? [...] "If we're a world-class city, then let's act like a world-class city and create a sense of city pride and take advantage of our unique character," said Newsom, who told staffers about his idea earlier this year after returning from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland."
