"content": "\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]You see them everywhere in San Francisco: luxury doggy daycares and hotels, dog gyms, dog spas, even dog bakeries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s pretty clear that San Francisco loves dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, in honor of our furry companions, we’re going to be answering a few questions about dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Do San Franciscans Have More Dogs or Children?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you’ve lived in San Francisco for more than a few months, you’ve probably heard the oft-repeated line: There are more dogs than children in San Francisco. But is it true?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that there are less children in San Francisco than a typical city due to the many reasons it’s hard to raise them in the city,” says Bay Curious listener Michele Speck. “But I also think it’s hard to have a dog in this city. So that’s what makes me question if there are actually more dogs than children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Answer\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The saying is true! There are more dogs than children in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/\">the American Community Survey\u003c/a>, in 2016 there were about 115,000 children under 18 living in the city. At the same time, San Francisco Animal Care and Control estimated there were about 120,000 to 150,000 dogs in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, getting into why there are more dogs than children in San Francisco is a bit more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>There Aren’t Many Children in S.F.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Turns out that San Francisco is not barking mad for dogs. It actually just doesn’t have very many children. San Francisco has the lowest percentage of children of any major city, according to U.S. census data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 18 percent of households in San Francisco have children under 19, whereas nationwide the average is 29.4 percent. You might think it has to do with city life, but that isn’t the case. In Los Angeles, 33.4 percent of households have children, and in New York City it’s 30.5 percent. The only other city where fewer than 20 percent of households have kids is Seattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this could change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11669286\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11669286\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-1020x678.jpg\" alt=\"A child hugs a pug.\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-1020x678.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-800x532.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-960x638.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-520x346.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A child hugs a pug. \u003ccite>(Liz Randall/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since 2010 there has been a slight increase in the number of children under 5, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The question is whether or not the families of these newborns will stay in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing is one factor that might determine whether young families stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2010, 61 percent of new market rate development has been studios and one-bedroom units, predominantly in larger buildings, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://default.sfplanning.org/publications_reports/Family_Friendly_Briefing_01-17-17_FINAL.pdf\">San Francisco Planning Department\u003c/a>. So, despite the creation of new housing, the majority of it isn’t built for families. As for the family-friendly housing that already exists — which includes dwellings of all kinds, from apartments to detached single-family homes — currently only 30 percent of units with three or more bedrooms are occupied by families with children.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Has S.F. gone to the dogs?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While we have solid data on kids, the data on dogs are harder to come by. Though owners are required to register dogs, very few do. Deb Campbell, spokeswoman for Animal Care and Control, says it estimates that fewer than 30 percent of dogs in the city are registered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To calculate the number of dogs in San Francisco, Animal Care and Control relies on an estimate based on how many people live in San Francisco. The American Veterinary Medical Association puts out one such \u003ca href=\"https://www.avma.org/KB/Resources/Statistics/Pages/US-pet-ownership-calculator.aspx\">tool. \u003c/a>It uses \u003ca href=\"https://www.avma.org/KB/Resources/Statistics/Pages/Market-research-statistics-US-pet-ownership.aspx\">survey data\u003c/a> and census data to measure the percentage of people who are likely to own a cat, dog, horse or bird. Every few years it updates the formula, and is currently working on that now, said Assistant Director Sharon Granskog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, such tools often rely heavily on national data. For instance, they estimate that about 1.5 percent of households in a community own horses, but there are probably not 13,408 horses in San Francisco. To get San Francisco dog estimates, Animal Care and Control uses several formulas to determine how many dogs are in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11669287\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11669287\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-1020x765.jpg\" alt=\"A child and a dog.\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-520x390.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A child and a dog. \u003ccite>(mliu92/flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And lucky for us, there are other researchers looking into pet data, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.nielsen.com/us/en/solutions/capabilities/scarborough-local.html\">Scarborough Research 2017 survey\u003c/a> (a branch of \u003ca href=\"http://www.nielsen.com/us/en.html\">Nielsen\u003c/a>) found that while San Franciscans are certainly dog enthusiasts, they are less likely to own a dog than the average American.

The Emerald City has more households with cats than with children. It’s the only other city in the United States where less than 20 percent of households have children.

At the same time, San Francisco Animal Care and Control estimated there were about 120,000 to 150,000 dogs in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, getting into why there are more dogs than children in San Francisco is a bit more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>There Aren’t Many Children in S.F.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Turns out that San Francisco is not barking mad for dogs. It actually just doesn’t have very many children. San Francisco has the lowest percentage of children of any major city, according to U.S. census data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 18 percent of households in San Francisco have children under 19, whereas nationwide the average is 29.4 percent. You might think it has to do with city life, but that isn’t the case. In Los Angeles, 33.4 percent of households have children, and in New York City it’s 30.5 percent. The only other city where fewer than 20 percent of households have kids is Seattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this could change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11669286\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11669286\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-1020x678.jpg\" alt=\"A child hugs a pug.\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-1020x678.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-800x532.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-960x638.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b-520x346.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/5612081436_f92472496a_b.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A child hugs a pug. \u003ccite>(Liz Randall/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since 2010 there has been a slight increase in the number of children under 5, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The question is whether or not the families of these newborns will stay in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing is one factor that might determine whether young families stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2010, 61 percent of new market rate development has been studios and one-bedroom units, predominantly in larger buildings, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://default.sfplanning.org/publications_reports/Family_Friendly_Briefing_01-17-17_FINAL.pdf\">San Francisco Planning Department\u003c/a>. So, despite the creation of new housing, the majority of it isn’t built for families. As for the family-friendly housing that already exists — which includes dwellings of all kinds, from apartments to detached single-family homes — currently only 30 percent of units with three or more bedrooms are occupied by families with children.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Has S.F. gone to the dogs?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While we have solid data on kids, the data on dogs are harder to come by. Though owners are required to register dogs, very few do. Deb Campbell, spokeswoman for Animal Care and Control, says it estimates that fewer than 30 percent of dogs in the city are registered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To calculate the number of dogs in San Francisco, Animal Care and Control relies on an estimate based on how many people live in San Francisco. The American Veterinary Medical Association puts out one such \u003ca href=\"https://www.avma.org/KB/Resources/Statistics/Pages/US-pet-ownership-calculator.aspx\">tool. \u003c/a>It uses \u003ca href=\"https://www.avma.org/KB/Resources/Statistics/Pages/Market-research-statistics-US-pet-ownership.aspx\">survey data\u003c/a> and census data to measure the percentage of people who are likely to own a cat, dog, horse or bird. Every few years it updates the formula, and is currently working on that now, said Assistant Director Sharon Granskog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, such tools often rely heavily on national data. For instance, they estimate that about 1.5 percent of households in a community own horses, but there are probably not 13,408 horses in San Francisco. To get San Francisco dog estimates, Animal Care and Control uses several formulas to determine how many dogs are in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11669287\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11669287\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-1020x765.jpg\" alt=\"A child and a dog.\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b-520x390.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/2348384871_16a9e9466c_b.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A child and a dog. \u003ccite>(mliu92/flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And lucky for us, there are other researchers looking into pet data, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.nielsen.com/us/en/solutions/capabilities/scarborough-local.html\">Scarborough Research 2017 survey\u003c/a> (a branch of \u003ca href=\"http://www.nielsen.com/us/en.html\">Nielsen\u003c/a>) found that while San Franciscans are certainly dog enthusiasts, they are less likely to own a dog than the average American.

Let’s consider an ancient bit of black-and-white footage, filmed in San Francisco in the spring of 1906, barely one week before the Great Earthquake and Fire. ... As the camera — which has been attached to the front of a streetcar and shakes with every jostle of the vehicle — records a journey east on Market Street, with the Ferry Building as its terminus, a different set of correlations begins to emerge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pedestrians cut in front of the streetcar with seeming impunity, while cars and horse-drawn carts veer in and out of traffic lanes. The effect is somewhat chaotic, as if the citizens haven’t yet learned how to use the streets. In fact, however, it is a portrait of another version of city living, in which the streets have not yet been taken over by the automobile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we turned streets into pipes of cars over the past century,” Amin argues, “we did all kinds of damage to communities, we killed people, and created traffic jams.” In this glimpse of San Francisco on the eve of its destruction, then, we observe not just the city as it was but also (perhaps) as it may again be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The instructive thing,” Tierney said of the film during a 2016 Curbed digital symposium, “is seeing people walk without being conditioned to walk under the front of buildings. They just use the space whatever way they want. Up until about 100 years ago, that was how everyone experienced the city. Only recently have we been trained to walk dutifully along a little sidewalk, waiting for the man on the sign to turn from white to red.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\"A portrait of another version of city living\"? \"Trained to walk dutifully along a little sidewalk\"? That makes it sound like we're missing out on some kind of pedestrian paradise of the pre-automobile past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It made me think: How many people were dying on the city streets depicted in \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/jZpKqOoMpnk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">that 1906 film\u003c/a>? That question prompted a quick review of vehicle-related deaths in the city, principally in \u003ca href=\"https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-95FQ-9ZZW?i=144&owc=319R-W38%3A20726101%3Fcc%3D1402856&wc=319R-DPX%3A20726101%2C33207001&cc=1402856\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">city coroner's records\u003c/a> digitized by FamilySearch.org and 1906 issues of the San Francisco Call available through the \u003ca href=\"https://cdnc.ucr.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Digital Newspaper Collection\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overall death toll -- at least 95 in a San Francisco with less than half the population of today's city -- was surprisingly high. Also eye-opening, for me, was the principal cause of vehicle-related deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main menace plying the city streets in the year of the Great Earthquake was not automotive. Though frequent collisions involving motorcars were reported, just seven people were reported killed by motor vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seven others died in incidents involving trains (that count does not include the dozen or more railroad workers killed in the city's train yards during the year).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty deaths involved horse-drawn vehicles that struck and killed bystanders or sometimes their own drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the real scourge for people venturing through San Francisco's boulevards was the streetcar. Sixty-one people were listed as dying in incidents involving the frequently overcrowded transit vehicles. People fell from the cars. They were run down crossing tracks. Many were fatally injured as they got on or off the cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Call often related these fatalities in excruciatingly explicit detail. Skulls were crushed. Heads were severed. Limbs were torn off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's how the paper described the demise of a teenager named Helen Umfrid, who died while changing cars at Mission and Third streets:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Mowed down by the thirty-ton juggernaut, her body was churned round the forward wheels and mangled so frightfully that it became almost welded to the [car] and could not be removed for more than an hour. When it was finally recovered the appearance it presented unnerved the great gathering that had watched employees of the United Railroads working round the car with primitive wrecking apparatus, and heads were turned away as it was borne to the Morgue wagon.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This account of the vehicle toll in the city doesn't count the dozens or hundreds of incidents in which people were injured. And it portrays the city at a moment when it was about to change dramatically. By 1927, automobiles ruled the streets and accounted for a huge majority of the record 158 vehicle-related deaths reported that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the sake of comparing 1906 San Francisco with its modern self: The city has averaged about 30 traffic deaths a year since 2005, according to the city's Vision Zero program. The 20 fatalities recorded last year was the lowest figure in the city's modern history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the city's population of roughly 450,000 people in 1906, the incidence of traffic-related deaths was about 21 per 100,000. The approximate incidence in current-day San Francisco -- where we'll use the average of 30 deaths a year and a population of 800,000 -- is 3.75/100,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe title=\"Vehicle-Related Deaths in San Francisco, 1906\" aria-label=\"Long Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-gFHhI\" src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/gFHhI/2/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important;\" height=\"17400\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Let’s consider an ancient bit of black-and-white footage, filmed in San Francisco in the spring of 1906, barely one week before the Great Earthquake and Fire. ... As the camera — which has been attached to the front of a streetcar and shakes with every jostle of the vehicle — records a journey east on Market Street, with the Ferry Building as its terminus, a different set of correlations begins to emerge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pedestrians cut in front of the streetcar with seeming impunity, while cars and horse-drawn carts veer in and out of traffic lanes. The effect is somewhat chaotic, as if the citizens haven’t yet learned how to use the streets. In fact, however, it is a portrait of another version of city living, in which the streets have not yet been taken over by the automobile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we turned streets into pipes of cars over the past century,” Amin argues, “we did all kinds of damage to communities, we killed people, and created traffic jams.” In this glimpse of San Francisco on the eve of its destruction, then, we observe not just the city as it was but also (perhaps) as it may again be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The instructive thing,” Tierney said of the film during a 2016 Curbed digital symposium, “is seeing people walk without being conditioned to walk under the front of buildings. They just use the space whatever way they want. Up until about 100 years ago, that was how everyone experienced the city. Only recently have we been trained to walk dutifully along a little sidewalk, waiting for the man on the sign to turn from white to red.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\"A portrait of another version of city living\"? \"Trained to walk dutifully along a little sidewalk\"? That makes it sound like we're missing out on some kind of pedestrian paradise of the pre-automobile past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It made me think: How many people were dying on the city streets depicted in \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/jZpKqOoMpnk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">that 1906 film\u003c/a>? That question prompted a quick review of vehicle-related deaths in the city, principally in \u003ca href=\"https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-95FQ-9ZZW?i=144&owc=319R-W38%3A20726101%3Fcc%3D1402856&wc=319R-DPX%3A20726101%2C33207001&cc=1402856\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">city coroner's records\u003c/a> digitized by FamilySearch.org and 1906 issues of the San Francisco Call available through the \u003ca href=\"https://cdnc.ucr.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Digital Newspaper Collection\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overall death toll -- at least 95 in a San Francisco with less than half the population of today's city -- was surprisingly high. Also eye-opening, for me, was the principal cause of vehicle-related deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main menace plying the city streets in the year of the Great Earthquake was not automotive. Though frequent collisions involving motorcars were reported, just seven people were reported killed by motor vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seven others died in incidents involving trains (that count does not include the dozen or more railroad workers killed in the city's train yards during the year).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty deaths involved horse-drawn vehicles that struck and killed bystanders or sometimes their own drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the real scourge for people venturing through San Francisco's boulevards was the streetcar. Sixty-one people were listed as dying in incidents involving the frequently overcrowded transit vehicles. People fell from the cars. They were run down crossing tracks. Many were fatally injured as they got on or off the cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Call often related these fatalities in excruciatingly explicit detail. Skulls were crushed. Heads were severed. Limbs were torn off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's how the paper described the demise of a teenager named Helen Umfrid, who died while changing cars at Mission and Third streets:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Mowed down by the thirty-ton juggernaut, her body was churned round the forward wheels and mangled so frightfully that it became almost welded to the [car] and could not be removed for more than an hour. When it was finally recovered the appearance it presented unnerved the great gathering that had watched employees of the United Railroads working round the car with primitive wrecking apparatus, and heads were turned away as it was borne to the Morgue wagon.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This account of the vehicle toll in the city doesn't count the dozens or hundreds of incidents in which people were injured. And it portrays the city at a moment when it was about to change dramatically. By 1927, automobiles ruled the streets and accounted for a huge majority of the record 158 vehicle-related deaths reported that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the sake of comparing 1906 San Francisco with its modern self: The city has averaged about 30 traffic deaths a year since 2005, according to the city's Vision Zero program. The 20 fatalities recorded last year was the lowest figure in the city's modern history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the city's population of roughly 450,000 people in 1906, the incidence of traffic-related deaths was about 21 per 100,000. The approximate incidence in current-day San Francisco -- where we'll use the average of 30 deaths a year and a population of 800,000 -- is 3.75/100,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe title=\"Vehicle-Related Deaths in San Francisco, 1906\" aria-label=\"Long Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-gFHhI\" src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/gFHhI/2/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important;\" height=\"17400\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated 2 p.m. Thursday\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco transportation officials have unveiled the outlines of their plan to regulate electric stand-up rental scooters -- and gotten immediate pushback from the biggest of the scooter firms. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/reports-and-documents/2018/04/4-25-18_emsc_item_8_pilot_scooter_share_program_permit_slide_presentation.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a presentation\u003c/a> to a San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency committee on Wednesday, agency staff said they contemplated a 24-month pilot project in which the city would permit as many as five companies to operate up to 500 scooters each. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bird, one of the three companies that began operating the rental scooters in San Francisco last month, immediately challenged the proposed cap on scooters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think that a firm cap of 500 scooters per company is something that's arbitrary and doesn't take into account demand that's already been shown,\" said David Estrada, chief legal officer and head of government relations at Bird. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that the company considers the current SFMTA proposal -- which could be submitted for approval by the agency's board next week -- to be \"a draft for discussion.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bird said Wednesday that as of last week it already was operating 1,614 scooters in the city. The company says that in its first 30 days of operation, it recorded 95,418 trips by 32,211 individual riders covering 143,725 miles -- an average of about a mile and a half per ride. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a little context, Bird's ridership in its first 30 days averaged about 3,200 trips a day -- and close to 5,000 a day by last week. San Francisco transportation officials estimated the number of daily trips in the city by all modes last year at 4.1 million. That estimate includes 1.6 million trips a day by private cars, including 155,000 by Uber and Lyft. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bird and its current scooter competitors in the city -- Spin and LimeBike -- all say their vehicles could be an important part of reducing traffic congestion and helping San Francisco realize its long-term goals of dramatically reducing car trips and greenhouse gas emissions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bird says it wants the city to adopt what it calls \"dynamic caps\" for scooter fleets -- essentially by letting companies determine the number of vehicles they deploy by user demand. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would look at how much the users are using each vehicle,\" Estrada said. \"The way we think is the right way to do it is to cap the supply such that you don't add more supply unless your fleet of scooters is being utilized on average three rides per day per scooter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A LimeBike spokesman said the firm will issue a response to the SFMTA proposal on Friday. Spin said it's reviewing the proposal and \"deferring to SFMTA.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regulation and permit process is the city's response to complaints that arose after the three companies launched the mini-vehicles without notice last month. Complaints have centered on users riding illegally on sidewalks and haphazardly parked scooters obstructing sidewalks. The city's Public Works agency says it has seized about 350 improperly parked scooters over the last 10 days. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Attorney Dennis Herrera last week sent Spin, Bird and LimeBike cease-and-desist letters, and the firms face a deadline next Monday to file reports on what they're doing to end careless and/or illegal behavior by riders. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three companies have vowed to act on the problems the city has raised. Bird's Estrada said concerns about sidewalk-riding and sloppy parking can be addressed through public safety and rider education campaigns -- while still allowing large numbers of scooters to be deployed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All of that is solvable,\" Estrada said. \"The way we're not going to solve it is if we simply and reflexively cap the number of vehicles. All that's going to do is slow down something that's shown a lot of promise for taking cars off the road.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SFMTA's Jamie Parks told a Board of Supervisors hearing last week that one of the agency's main goals in developing regulations was to understand how the scooters are being used -- whether, for instance, they're actually replacing trips taken by Uber and Lyft. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To accomplish that, the SFMTA's proposed permit rules for the 24-month pilot would require companies to share detailed data about how and when the scooters are used. The agency would also require the companies to have fare plans for low-income riders and adopt policies on user education privacy of user data. The firms would also need agree to operate in approved service areas and provide proof of insurance. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parks said in an email Wednesday that the proposed cap of 500 scooters per permit -- a total of 2,500 citywide --could be raised if the 24-month pilot proves successful. The SFMTA estimates that a total of 2,000 to 2,500 scooters from the three firms are currently on the street. \u003c/p>\n\n",

The company says that in its first 30 days of operation, it recorded 95,418 trips by 32,211 individual riders covering 143,725 miles -- an average of about a mile and a half per ride. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a little context, Bird's ridership in its first 30 days averaged about 3,200 trips a day -- and close to 5,000 a day by last week. San Francisco transportation officials estimated the number of daily trips in the city by all modes last year at 4.1 million. That estimate includes 1.6 million trips a day by private cars, including 155,000 by Uber and Lyft. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bird and its current scooter competitors in the city -- Spin and LimeBike -- all say their vehicles could be an important part of reducing traffic congestion and helping San Francisco realize its long-term goals of dramatically reducing car trips and greenhouse gas emissions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bird says it wants the city to adopt what it calls \"dynamic caps\" for scooter fleets -- essentially by letting companies determine the number of vehicles they deploy by user demand. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would look at how much the users are using each vehicle,\" Estrada said. \"The way we think is the right way to do it is to cap the supply such that you don't add more supply unless your fleet of scooters is being utilized on average three rides per day per scooter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A LimeBike spokesman said the firm will issue a response to the SFMTA proposal on Friday. Spin said it's reviewing the proposal and \"deferring to SFMTA.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regulation and permit process is the city's response to complaints that arose after the three companies launched the mini-vehicles without notice last month. Complaints have centered on users riding illegally on sidewalks and haphazardly parked scooters obstructing sidewalks. The city's Public Works agency says it has seized about 350 improperly parked scooters over the last 10 days. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Attorney Dennis Herrera last week sent Spin, Bird and LimeBike cease-and-desist letters, and the firms face a deadline next Monday to file reports on what they're doing to end careless and/or illegal behavior by riders. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three companies have vowed to act on the problems the city has raised. Bird's Estrada said concerns about sidewalk-riding and sloppy parking can be addressed through public safety and rider education campaigns -- while still allowing large numbers of scooters to be deployed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All of that is solvable,\" Estrada said. \"The way we're not going to solve it is if we simply and reflexively cap the number of vehicles. All that's going to do is slow down something that's shown a lot of promise for taking cars off the road.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SFMTA's Jamie Parks told a Board of Supervisors hearing last week that one of the agency's main goals in developing regulations was to understand how the scooters are being used -- whether, for instance, they're actually replacing trips taken by Uber and Lyft. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To accomplish that, the SFMTA's proposed permit rules for the 24-month pilot would require companies to share detailed data about how and when the scooters are used. The agency would also require the companies to have fare plans for low-income riders and adopt policies on user education privacy of user data. The firms would also need agree to operate in approved service areas and provide proof of insurance. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parks said in an email Wednesday that the proposed cap of 500 scooters per permit -- a total of 2,500 citywide --could be raised if the 24-month pilot proves successful. The SFMTA estimates that a total of 2,000 to 2,500 scooters from the three firms are currently on the street. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
