Four years ago, my wife and I and our daughter bought a condo in Huron Village, in Cambridge, Mass, where Heather goes to school. ... Right from the start, thinking of Huron Village gave us a "warm and fuzzy feeling". We felt an identification with the other members of Huron Village, a kinship... It felt like "its own entity", even though it is just a mile north of Harvard.
Last year, just for fun, I googled "Huron Village", and was delighted to see some clips on YOU TUBE, about Huron Village. One of the villagers had gone around with a cameraman friend, and interviewed his fellow vilagers, to get a handle on the gist of being a member of Huron Village.
If you have a minute, please do that google search, and see that video, to get this idea.

Although I have now lived in the Inner Sunset District, for 40 years,... I do not get that same "identification" that I do, when we are visiting the kiddo in Huron Village, which, if it had a Village ball team, I would feel impelled to root for, as they represented My Village, ...not just my shopping district.

So: this blog is an attempt to see if folks in S.F. , and in particular, my neighbors, right around me, would be open to having the S.F. Planning Dept re-envision my immediate area as "Inner Sunset Village". I want to be able to go down to Big Rec ball field, and root for my Inner Sunset Village Whippets... My neighborhood is more than an "economic unit", more than a shopping district. We are family. We, in fact, are members of the same Village. We just don't think of it in those words. We should. No?
