Civic Character

Why is San Francisco so special?

We believe that our city is an expression of our character. There are innumerable elements that combine to make this city unique, beautiful, and livable. Our diversity, waterfront, neighborhoods, skyline and views, architecture, cable cars, and public art all support our unique character.

Our unique character inspires the world – artists, activists, 49ers, techies, and hippies have all made their way to San Francisco to find their fortune and shape our future. Our character has a value and deserves to be protected and cultivated.
