What Makes a Street ‘Private’? And Why Does San Francisco Have So Many?

What Makes a Street ‘Private’? And Why Does San Francisco Have So Many?

Published 4 years, 2 months ago
Description

When Victoria Eng did a web search for her Duboce Triangle avenue she learned something curious. “It popped up on a list as an intersection of a privately owned street nearby.” That got her wondering why San Francisco has private streets at all. “Who owns these streets and why would someone want to own one of these streets?” She asked. Today we dive into a private street primer, and revisit one of the city’s most notorious private street sagas.
