Talk:Western Addition, San Francisco

Are there any official neighborhood boundaries in the city? Every map I look at seems to list them differently (Especially for the Western Addition) Octoferret 00:17, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure there are no boundaries for the named neighborhoods, per se, just for things like Supervisor districts and precincts and such. I've lived here twenty years and have never heard of anything official — and I've been paying attention, too. :-) MrRedwood 18:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I have noticed that a lot of the neighborhood designations in articles on different cites are what are referenced by the local realtors. You will find all SF realtors using the same reference. See overview and central north(this one shows the micro-neighborhoods). I don't disagree with this standard for the boundaries of the neighborhoods, but I don't like the official neighborhood names they use. They are trying to sell houses and "lower haight" becomes the "haight filmore".--~

The city's Enterprise GIS project also defines neighbourhood boundaries. One could mash that up with google maps to see what kind of boundaries the city believes to exist. See http://www.ci.sf.ca.us/site/gis_index.asp Blarf (talk) 07:42, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

This article has some really odd writing.

Geary Boulevard was erected to create a clear division between the district's working class section, and its more upwardly mobile and decidedly middle-class Pacific Heights neighborhood.

Really now. What.? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.14.75.98 (talk) 02:50, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
