the people yearn for good views and community
built an explorer for the transformation of how local businesses have evolved in the marina/fillmore of sf, from 2012-now:
- bakeries & sweet shops: 20 -> 10
- fitness studios: 12 ->19
- salons: 90 -> 120
- longest-standing local biz: lucca deli on chestnut (since 1968 per city records)
today I discovered a walking route to work that’s 2 minutes longer than the maps default, but takes me past a park, beautiful architecture, and a street full of cafés and life. such a huge upgrade to a journey I make every morning
I want Alive Maps, a version of Google Maps that optimises for beauty, serendipity, and aliveness instead of speed
