		<description>$55 / 1br - Short term rental $55. per night - $350. per week or longer... (North beach / Telegraph hill)


I have a room available to sublet in my flat for a short term rental in the heart of beautiful North Beach, recently voted one of the 10 best and safest neighborhoods in America.


The room is available on a per night basis for $55.00 per night or $350. per week for a single or $65 per night and $425. per week for double occupancy. The room is perfect for temporary housing for a person searching for a permanent place or for job related work. I also have a second room available from time to time in the same flat with a California King size bed, which rents for $75. per night for single or double occupancy or $500. per week.


The rooms are in a flat and are 15' x 12', carpeted, with 10' ceilings, 3 Bay windows with lots of sunshine, very quiet and come fully furnished, which includes: DSL/Comcast w/computer in room, Television w/DVD player, (No cable - hate TV), CD player, all utilities  included with fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer in the flat, all sheets &amp; towels provided if needed, a new bathroom with shower&amp; bath (shared), a lovely garden on the ground floor and a great local cafe at the bottom of the hill.  The room is convenient to all transportation, Muni, Cable car and Bart, as well as walking distance to shopping &amp; a gym: Trader Joe's, Safeway's, 24 Hour Nautilus and easy walking distance to the financial district (10 min), Fisherman's wharf, down town, The Academy of Art University or The SF Art institute, etc.


Both rooms are very private as they are each located at either end of a long hallway. There is No garage available if you have a car but a temporary resident parking permit can be obtained for that period of time and there is plenty of street parking and a parking lot a block away. The Flat is located on Taylor Street, the cross Street is Lombard (the crooked street) and is one block off of Columbus Ave in North Beach.


Regretfully, due to a large number of no shows, without even the courtesy to call to cancel, I now require a 50% deposit to guarantee the room.  This is payable in advance either by check or paypal.

 
For further information &amp; questions contact me via e-mail (with preferred dates needed) or call my cell at:415-385-5590 if needed immediately and if available.


Namaste &#2344;&#2350;&#2360;&#2381;&#2340;&#2375;

Free Tibet... and let their light illuminate the world...

		<description>2000: The Antarctic ozone hole extends so far north that health officials in Punta Arenas, Chile, start warning residents not to go out in the midday sun.


At 53 degrees south latitude, Punta Arenas is the world's southernmost city, sitting on the Straits of Magellan only 900 miles from Antarctica.


The city of 150,000 people had suffered about a 12 percent loss in average ozone levels since 1980, but was usually beyond the edge of the deep ozone hole that plagues the south polar region. 


But this year was different. It was the end of the Antarctic winter, the annual maximum for ozone loss. An arm of ozone-depleted air drifted farther northward, over the tip of South America.


Without the thin layer of ozone in the stratosphere to absorb ultraviolet radiation from the sun, people in Punta Arenas who ventured outside without protection could sunburn in as little as seven minutes. Public health officials sounded the alarm: Take precautions!


The city's one dermatologist calculated that skin cancer cases jumped from 65 cases to 108 between 1987-1993 and 1994-2000.


Although the ozone hole peaks annually in October, the danger continues through December when the antipodean summer sun is higher in the sky. The local health department posts color-coded danger signs to warn people of the daily ozone levels.


Nonetheless, few people appear to be taking precautions. The local public health chief said in 2004 that residents wrongly downplay the danger because it doesn't get...

		<title>{AUTOS &gt; MAGAZINES AND E-ZINES} - 10 Highways That Should Be Razed Now</title>
		<link>http://articles.world-of-newave.info/recreation/autos/magazines-and-e_zines/10-highways-that-should-be-razed-now-2008106301.htm</link>

		<description>




America is built around the automobile. Big cities may have decent transit systems, but most of us spend a lot of time slogging through traffic on a highway. Say what you will, but the National Highway System is a crucial part of our transportation infrastructure. Trouble is, it wasn't built with city dwellers in mind. 

Hulking expressways and overpasses too often bisect our cities, dividing neighborhoods, blocking access to waterfronts and promoting blight. Many were built decades ago, and as they fall into disrepair, some activists say they should be razed entirely. Replacing them with neighborhood-friendly boulevards would, they say, foster revitalization, restore communities and save taxpayers billions in construction costs.

"There's a whole generation of elevated highways in cities that are at the end of their design life," says John Norquist, head of the Congress for the New Urbanism. "Instead of rebuilding them at enormous expense, cities have an opportunity to undo what proved to be major urban-planning blunder."

It's a novel idea that's worked in cities like San Francisco, Portland and Milwaukee. Norquist has a list of other cities that oughtta fire up the wrecking ball and take down a highway."Freeways Without Futures" outlines 10 urban highways that have long since outlived their usefulness. It was compiled by the Congress for the New Urbanism and the Center for Neighborhood Technology, and it focuses on those areas with the best chance of removing a freeway and replacing it with a boulevard. "The Federal Highway Fund just received a short-term bailout," Norquist says. "The money that does exist can be invested much more efficiently in surface streets and transit."

This is not an abstract idea for Norquist. He was mayor of Milwaukee when the city replaced the Park East Freeway with McKinley Boulevard six years ago. CNU says averaged assessed land values in the area climbed 180 percent between 2001 and 2006. San Francisco saw similar gains after razing the Embarcadero and Central freeways.

"Fifty years ago, when there was flight from cities, industrialized waterfronts seemed like a convenient place to run freeways," Norquist says. "The result for the neighborhoods has been blight. Cities like San Francisco that have removed freeways and reclaimed waterfronts have turned them into magnets for people and investment."

CNU says the following cities could enjoy similar benefits if they'd raze these 10 highways:

Alaskan Way Viaduct, Seattle, WA ? (pictured) Built in 1953, this north-south route along Seattle's Elliot Bay stands between the city and an open Seattle waterfront.

Sheridan Expressway, Bronx, NY ? Known as I-895 and built in
1963, it was designed to connect the Bruckner Expressway with
the New England Thruway in the Bronx, but local opposition limited it
to a one-mile road that mars the Bronx River waterfront.

Skyway and Route 5, Buffalo, NY ?  Built in 1953,
this 1.4-mile long, 110-foot tall bridge begins at the Inner Harbor
downtown, crosses the Buffalo River and touches down as Route 5 in the
Outer Harbor. It blocks access to the waterfront, and there is no
pedestrian access between downtown and the Outer Harbor.

Route 34 - New Haven, CT ? This highway begins at the
junction of Interstates 95 and 91 and extends on columns into downtown
New Haven for 1.1 miles, but plans to extend the road another 10 miles
were never realized. Six hundred families were displaced to make room
for this project, which was built in 1959.

Claiborne Expressway, New Orleans, LA ? In the 1950s, this
highway rolled over one of New Orleans' thriving African-American communities. With construction of the more direct I-610 in the
1970s, calls for the removal of the Claiborne have been increasing.

Interstate 81, Syracuse NY ? When Interstate 81 was finished
in the late 1950s it destroyed an African-American community, and today
is an eyesore that does little to promote growth in downtown Syracuse.

Interstate 64, Louisville, KY ? This six-lane highway
separates downtown Louisville from its waterfront. In 2003, the Federal
Highway Administration proposed a $4.1 billion expansion of I-64, which
has been loudly opposed by area activists.

Route 29, Trenton, NJ ? This four-lane road runs along the
Delaware River and has a higher-than-average rate of collisions. Its
removal would pave the way for a mixed-use waterfront development. 

Gardiner Expressway, Toronto, ON ? Finished in 1966, this eight-lane highway separates downtown Toronto from its waterfront and costs $10 million a year to maintain. 

11th Street Bridges and the Southeast Freeway, Washington, D.C. ? The Southeast Freeway is a 1.39-mile stretch of freeway running
through Washington, D.C., built in the late 1960s. It connects Interstate

America is built around the automobile. Big cities may have decent transit systems, but most of us spend a lot of time slogging through traffic on a highway. Say what you will, but the National Highway System is a crucial part of our transportation infrastructure. Trouble is, it wasn't built with city dwellers in mind. 

Hulking expressways and overpasses too often bisect our cities, dividing neighborhoods, blocking access to waterfronts and promoting blight. Many were built decades ago, and as they fall into disrepair, some activists say they should be razed entirely. Replacing them with neighborhood-friendly boulevards would, they say, foster revitalization, restore communities and save taxpayers billions in construction costs.

"There's a whole generation of elevated highways in cities that are at the end of their design life," says John Norquist, head of the Congress for the New Urbanism. "Instead of rebuilding them at enormous expense, cities have an opportunity to undo what proved to be major urban-planning blunder."

It's a novel idea that's worked in cities like San Francisco, Portland and Milwaukee. Norquist has a list of other cities that oughtta fire up the wrecking ball and take down a highway."Freeways Without Futures" outlines 10 urban highways that have long since outlived their usefulness. It was compiled by the Congress for the New Urbanism and the Center for Neighborhood Technology, and it focuses on those areas with the best chance of removing a freeway and replacing it with a boulevard. "The Federal Highway Fund just received a short-term bailout," Norquist says. "The money that does exist can be invested much more efficiently in surface streets and transit."

This is not an abstract idea for Norquist. He was mayor of Milwaukee when the city replaced the Park East Freeway with McKinley Boulevard six years ago. CNU says averaged assessed land values in the area climbed 180 percent between 2001 and 2006. San Francisco saw similar gains after razing the Embarcadero and Central freeways.

"Fifty years ago, when there was flight from cities, industrialized waterfronts seemed like a convenient place to run freeways," Norquist says. "The result for the neighborhoods has been blight. Cities like San Francisco that have removed freeways and reclaimed waterfronts have turned them into magnets for people and investment."

CNU says the following cities could enjoy similar benefits if they'd raze these 10 highways:

Alaskan Way Viaduct, Seattle, WA ? (pictured) Built in 1953, this north-south route along Seattle's Elliot Bay stands between the city and an open Seattle waterfront.

Sheridan Expressway, Bronx, NY ? Known as I-895 and built in
1963, it was designed to connect the Bruckner Expressway with
the New England Thruway in the Bronx, but local opposition limited it
to a one-mile road that mars the Bronx River waterfront.

Skyway and Route 5, Buffalo, NY ?  Built in 1953,
this 1.4-mile long, 110-foot tall bridge begins at the Inner Harbor
downtown, crosses the Buffalo River and touches down as Route 5 in the
Outer Harbor. It blocks access to the waterfront, and there is no
pedestrian access between downtown and the Outer Harbor.

Route 34 - New Haven, CT ? This highway begins at the
junction of Interstates 95 and 91 and extends on columns into downtown
New Haven for 1.1 miles, but plans to extend the road another 10 miles
were never realized. Six hundred families were displaced to make room
for this project, which was built in 1959.

Claiborne Expressway, New Orleans, LA ? In the 1950s, this
highway rolled over one of New Orleans' thriving African-American communities. With construction of the more direct I-610 in the
1970s, calls for the removal of the Claiborne have been increasing.

Interstate 81, Syracuse NY ? When Interstate 81 was finished
in the late 1950s it destroyed an African-American community, and today
is an eyesore that does little to promote growth in downtown Syracuse.

Interstate 64, Louisville, KY ? This six-lane highway
separates downtown Louisville from its waterfront. In 2003, the Federal
Highway Administration proposed a $4.1 billion expansion of I-64, which
has been loudly opposed by area activists.

Route 29, Trenton, NJ ? This four-lane road runs along the
Delaware River and has a higher-than-average rate of collisions. Its
removal would pave the way for a mixed-use waterfront development. 

Gardiner Expressway, Toronto, ON ? Finished in 1966, this eight-lane highway separates downtown Toronto from its waterfront and costs $10 million a year to maintain. 

11th Street Bridges and the Southeast Freeway, Washington, D.C. ? The Southeast Freeway is a 1.39-mile stretch of freeway running
through Washington, D.C., built in the late 1960s. It connects Interstate
395 to Interstate 295 at the 11th Street Bridges and was prevented from
continuing west due to local opposition at the time.
