	Mayors take lead in fighting climate change \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		SAN FRANCISCO – Mayors from some of the world's biggest cities are gathering here this week to forge a set of international guidelines for sustainable urban living – billed as a municipal version of the Kyoto Protocol on global warming that the United States never ratified.
		San Francisco, where the United Nations was founded 60 years ago, is known as an environmental trendsetter, and city officials plan to showcase its green successes.
		Last year, San Francisco was perhaps the first U.S. city to adopt its own "climate action plan" that seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions – to 20 percent lower than 1990 levels by 2012 – by increasing public transportation use, recycling rates, renewable power and energy efficiency.

	AmericanHeritage.com / How San Francisco Was Destroyed
		A San Francisco policeman named Jesse Cook was chatting with a vegetable vendor on his early-morning rounds when he heard a “deep and terrible rumbling” and then turned to see the city streets undulating toward him like great ocean waves, which caused the earth to actually rise under him.
		In 1906 San Francisco’s water supply was known to be sorely inadequate should a major fire strike (and the city had endured many up to this point), and most of the quickly constructed buildings had no chance of withstanding a major earthquake.
		Though it happened nearly a hundred years earlier, the sad aftermath of San Francisco is easier to visualize after viewing footage from Katrina—the streams of hundreds of thousands of refugees, the bodies in the street, the largely inept handling of the disaster by both local and federal officials.

	Mayor of San Francisco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because San Francisco is a consolidated city-county, the mayor is the head of government both of the county and city; however, both entities are governed by a combined set of governing bodies.
		Today, most city officials, including the mayor and the members of the city's legislature, the Board of Supervisors, are elected by a form of instant-runoff voting in which each voter ranks his or her top three choices.
		The shortest serving mayor of San Francisco is Charles Boxton.
