Tiny parks on a roll in San Francisco

[shanti]

Two dumpsters full of greenery, with four more to come, add a bit of nature to the streets of a paved-over downtown neighborhood. Some scoff, but others are willing to give the 'parkmobiles' a go.

pretty cool idea!

1. They should paint them green, not bright red

Whenever you walk around any city, there is NEVER anywhere to just sit and relax for even a few minutes.

These are great idea.

6. Or trompe l'oeil, or graffiti artists. I think it's a great

idea, too.

2. It's been said "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"

Therefore, I won't.

5. What's that taking up, maybe two parking places? Ever try and find a spot in the City? eom

7. it looks like

one of those tiny side streets that SF has so many of. can't park on them, so might as well do something green and positive about it.

8. putting turf on a roll sounds like it would taste quite gritty
