&lt;p&gt;In the last few years, there have been several proposals to use lots throughout the city of San Francisco that are slated for development as interim green spaces.  The idea behind this is that using land for temporary parks or public spaces while development is stalled (happening frequently in this economy) is better for the community than having a chain link fence marking off the boundaries of a lot. &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Unremarkable Architecture, Remarkable Colors</title>
 <link>http://www.mermeltown.com/node/141</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;One would think that using ugly colors (and ones that don&#039;t look good&lt;br /&gt;

the citizens of San Francisco! &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Where are the SF Sea Lions?</title>

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
