Three thug types were trying to break into the gate and potentially house while i lli was sound asleep! i don't know what caused me to wake up bc there wasn't any noise, but when i did i knew immediately something was wrong and looked at the camera and saw them out there. i turned all the lights on and called 911. About 10-15 cops showed up within minutes and were right away making sure everything was safe and that these guys weren't hanging around nearby. Two officers came up to talk to me and tried to calm me down bc i was really freaked out by all this. They were super kind and helpful and gave great advice on what the owner of the house i'm renting should do to secure it and reassured me that if these thugs came back they would have a hard time getting into the house AND to keep my phone next to me and call right away if they came back. Cops have really tough jobs and these days little respect. Especially living in a city like SF where they favor criminals and police have to deal with so much politics and BS just to be able to do their jobs. Their jobs are to protect us! The leaders of this city sadly want to make that hard for them. That is super sad. They came to my aid in literally less than five mins, probably more like 2 or 3 mins and likely prevented the situation from escalating into something far worse! I love the officers at Taraval station and they've always taken good care of us. i will for sure miss them when i move in a few weeks, and hope that in my new home i don't have to call the police as much as i've had to while living here in Sf, specially the last few years. Thank you SFPD, and especially all of my favorite Taraval Station officers! you're the best!

    We support the Police Academy, but over the years, we have reached out regarding the relentless…read morenoise from Amber in Diamond Heights--only to be met with rudeness and outright refusal to cooperate. Every single day, we are subjected to deafening screaming and defense drills that shatter the peace of our neighborhood. These drills have made it impossible to enjoy the quiet, residential environment we once had. We have repeatedly requested that they be conducted at the rear of the building, yet the Captain and whoever answers the phone refuse to listen or act. This has to stop. Either move the drills to the back of the Academy or eliminate the excessive noise altogether. Is that too much to ask? We are posting this here because calling has gotten us nowhere. We expect immediate cooperation. If the Police Academy continues to ignore this issue, we will escalate the matter to the new mayor.

The jump wall was right there in the parking lot, in the rain, already taunting me. It turned out all my festivities were indoors. For the record, though, I had already steeled myself to jump, run, dodge, and all that smack dab in the middle of a billion droplets of falling water. The interior is simple, kind of reminiscent of a high school. What I liked most about the decor were the tons of banners and memorabilia from past graduating classes. Each flag had a different class #, insignia, and slogan. Of course I had no idea who those alumni were. But I was filled with a sense of history and awe at what they must have went through, not just to get in, but also to make it out. We salute you!

    Really nice big library with lots of seating on all levels. The lobby level has a Pete's coffee in…read moreit with lots of seating if you prefer to do some reading and studying in an area where you can eat/drink. The first few floors of the library aren't too quiet, which I prefer, but the 4th level and higher are quiet study areas. There are also plenty of electrical outlets, but they are scattered throughout along the walls and floor (not built into the tables like what more modern libraries have.) I'm not a SFSU student, but was able to come here with no issues to get some work and studying done. There is very limited paid parking around the area and the free street parking is impossible to find, but if your mobile and capable enough you can park unlimited for free at the mall up the street and walk over (it was about a 15 minute walk.) There are also several muni and bus stops in the area, so public transportation is probably more ideal. I like getting my steps in, so I parked at the mall and walked over. There is free guest wifi in the library for non-students. You just need to sign up for it with your name and email address, and the system emails you a one time password to use. The wifi is surprisingly slow, considering that this is on a college campus and I'm sure there are many students that rely on needing good internet speeds for their courses and studies.

    Back in the day, this library was just like any other municipal library. After the renovations,…read morethis place is way more inviting for the student who need a quiet place to study or form groups for meetings and presentations. Similar to that of an office. After the renovations, this place feels more like a miniature IT campus similar to that of Apple or google. And the library gets super busy especially during midterms and finals. Surprisingly there's a Help Desk where you can get a loaner laptop, you have basic computer questions. Basically this is a good place to start for your studying needs.
