San Francisco folks: the city seems to have digitized a *lot* of old photo negatives of properties recently.

if you wanna see old photos of your house: https://sfplanninggis.org/PIM, search for your address, click "Historic Preservation", then look under "Property Photos"

wait, this means that the Biden administration could have unilaterally renamed “Florida” to be whatever they wanted? and they just passed up that opportunity? https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/27/google-maps-to-show-gulf-of-america-after-government-updates.html
