So here's the deal: If you get the meaning of the image at right, you might just want a
shirt, mug or button displaying said image. We don't need the money; we just wanted a t-shirt for ourselves. But then we figured, why not share? And as long as we're sharing, why not make of our geeky schwag a fundraiser of sorts for a cause
Saint Jane would have approved of? We're not going to send receipts or anything. We're too lazy for that, so you'll just have to trust that we're going to pass on the proceeds. Nor have we even talked to our intended recipient, the San Francisco-based nonprofit
Livable City, about our little scheme. We don't always agree with Livable City, but we can't think of a local org whose ideals (functional streets, lively neighborhoods, etc.) are closer to those of Ms. Jacobs. Anyway, we are open to
ideas for more dorky gear.
In 2006, Cityscape toured the shining example of Pacific Rim urbanism, Japan. Click

A San Francisco transit map by Cityscape is featured in the new book
Transit Maps of the World, by Mark Ovenden. Ironically, we recently replaced that map, of the city's rail and rapid transit system once all currently planned projects are built, with
this one — but you can still find the old version
here. Our thanks to Mr. Ovenden for including not just official maps, but work by enthusiasts.
