This is Jason Lally's presentation about open data for designers, which she gave during the webinar on the same subject matter. Found here: http://www.openarchcollab.org/webinar02_opendata_page
3. “I recently grabbed all crime data captured by the SFPD
Crime Incident Reporting system, which is available
through SF open data. It has ~1.7 million records from the
past 12 years with a temporal and spatial stamp on each
one. I've been interested in digging into some GIS data, so
this is awesome!” - Lance Martin

But, there's a lot more to look at with this data. I invite folks to pull
the notebook and explore for themselves!
4. “Like many cities, San Francisco runs a
311 hotline for non-emergencies:
everything from noisy neighbors to
potholes to broken parking meters. We
can use Turf to quickly calculate the
number of 311 calls by neighborhood
for a single week and see the top-five
call topics for each neighborhood.”

“The animators used detailed property data from the
city's Assessor-Recorder's office—available thanks to
the city's progressive open data program—to get
detailed information about the city's 83,000 buildings
and the nearly exact number and location of elements
like streetlights and street trees.”
