Jamie Whitaker, a “plugged-in” SocketSite reader and recent homebuyer in Rincon Hill (the neighborhood, not the building), has launched RinconHillSF.org. It’s a non-commercial effort to create a “virtual neighborhood association for residents, workers, and visitors who share the region defined by The Embarcadero, Mission Street, Second Street, and Bryant Street.”
According to Jamie, “If I can get 500 folks to be more actively involved in holding our City government accountable and working together to keep our area cleaned up and to get to know our neighbors (as opposed to living in vertical gated (condo) communities), I’ll feel like the effort was worth it.” Sounds noble enough. And as such, it’s been added to our growing list of neighborhood resources.

Thank you very much for the posting about the Rincon Hill blog I started about a month ago. I really appreciate any help provided to make others aware of my site for this quickly developing neighborhood I call home.
There are a lot of wonderful plans for Rincon Hill and the Transbay area. It truly is up to us to make sure those plans are implemented in a way that enhances the quality of life in our neighborhood. I also hope others will use the site to organize activities (say, volunteering for the SF Food Bank or SF Giants game days) to allow us to meet each other.
What a great idea, Jamie! I think this will be fun.
