Love Letters to San Francisco: Artists, cacophony and a final gift to P Segal’s city (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I received a message from P Segal before we met at Andytown Coffee Roasters. âIâll be the smallish person with big hair wearing pearls,â it said. The second we started talking, I felt like I was sitting with San Francisco personified. Since 2019, Segal has been trying to find buildings where artists can actually afford to live. Her nonprofit, ArtHouse SF, rests on a pitch to owners: Partner with us, collect minimal rents, write off what you would have collected, and take a large charitable
Love Letters to San Francisco: How snakes and science build students’ confidence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a city obsessed with what comes next, Chris Giorni has spent 27 years focused on what endures: a childâs wonder, a first chance to understand nature, and the moment a hesitant hand reaches out to touch a snake and discovers it is not what they feared.

Itâs a legacy project rooted in culture, animated by vision, and shaped by a deep desire to contribute something lasting to a community that helped define him. Lee â a high-energy, joyous and extroverted lover of life â said he came to San Francisco in 1976 to study broadcasting after growing up in Vacaville, where, as he put it, he âreally didnât have a lot of Asian people around him.â
Love Letters to San Francisco: Meet the woman who planted peace on Alabama Street (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At 19th and Alabama streets, a block-long garden does something rare in San Francisco: It makes people slow down. You can smell it before you fully take it in â lemon balm, mint, rosemary, dill, peppermint geraniums. Herbs and flowers and pollinator plants are tucked into a scrappy stretch of urban space that could have easily remained anonymous. Instead, it has become a small oasis â a place where kids stop, neighbors linger, birds feed and people who may have otherwise rushed past suddenly
