PROJECT SUMMARY

Urban Action is a journal of public affairs & civic engagement published annually in San Francisco. I published two papers with them in Fall of 2012.

Parking, Poverty, and Employment explored the effect of parking enforcement penalties on San Francisco residents. It showed the adverse effect high penalties and towing has on low income populations. I felt victimized by the parking enforcement system in the city and wanted to look closely into how decisions were made in regards to fines, and how they were applied.

San Francisco’s Emergency Water Supply described the condition of San Franciscos fire and drinking water systems, their problems, and the dangers associated with earthquakes in the region. I was studying resiliency and emergency preparedness for a potential venture Urban Thrivalist and compiled my studies into this report.
