Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It is a great opportunity to take time to think about what we are thankful for. Here at DataSF we are thankful for many things: [open data](https://data.sfgov.org/) (of course!), our [Data Coordinators](https://datasf.org/coordinators/) who help shepherd open data to the portal, [civic techies](http://codeforsanfrancisco.org/projects) who regularly surprise us with novel uses for open data, and, of course, the public that loves data almost as much as we love publishing it.

But above all else we are thankful to be living in a city like San Francisco. A city that celebrates the arts. A city that advocates for green spaces. A city that supports more environmentally friendly means of travel. And most importantly, a city that protects and cares for the less fortunate among them. In other words, a city that reflects our values. Below find a few highlights from the open data portal that demonstrate each of these.

## We are Thankful for Public Art

Started in 1932 the [Civic Art Collection](http://www.sfartscommission.org/pubartcollection/about-public-art-and-civic-art-collection/program-information/) now comprises over 4,000 objects. Below is a listing of public art works currently available for viewing. Select a location from the map to find out more.

## We are Thankful for Green Spaces

What would San Francisco be without its beautiful parks and the diverse types of trees that populate our city. Below find a listing of San Francisco public parks. You can sort by type of park and see the average public score for the currently selected parks.

You may not realize it but the city cares for over 400 species of trees. Even more impressive than that is they track every single one. In the below map you can select your favorite species of tree and find its location around San Francisco. I’m personally fond of the Yoshino Cherry. &lt;div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-square"&gt; &lt;iframe width="680" height="510" src="https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=<KEY>" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; &lt;/div&gt; ## We are Thankful for our Young Readers

No one reads like the youth of San Francisco. Below is a sneak peak at a soon to be released dataset on library circulation. Sorry, but it is just a static image at this time. [Follow us on twitter](https://twitter.com/DataSF) to be the first to know about its full release.

## We are Thankful for those Protecting the Next Generation

Each day almost 200 [crossing guards](https://www.sfmta.com/services/streets-sidewalks/request-crossing-guard) ensure the children of San Francisco make it to school safely and on time. &lt;div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-square"&gt; &lt;iframe width="680" height="510" src="https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiNDM3NTYzZGMtYjRlNS00M2Y1LWEwOTgtNmZlMDJiMDFmYWFiIiwidCI6IjIyZDVjMmNmLWNlM2UtNDQzZC05YTdmLWRmY2MwMjMxZjczZiIsImMiOjZ9" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; &lt;/div&gt; ## We are Thankful that we don’t have to Cook Thanksgiving Dinner!

San Francisco is a culinary delight. While you could spend all those hours making dinner, why not just eat out! More time for data analysis! Below is a map of every food establishment in San Francisco. &lt;div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-square"&gt; &lt;iframe width="680" height="510" src="https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiMzZlZDQzNjgtYTUxNy00NTU4LWI1NmYtNGNkZDYwYzY0YzA2IiwidCI6IjIyZDVjMmNmLWNlM2UtNDQzZC05YTdmLWRmY2MwMjMxZjczZiIsImMiOjZ9" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; &lt;/div&gt; ## We are Thankful that our City Builds Inclusive Housing

San Francisco cares about people and ensuring they can afford to live in our city. This problem has no quick or easy fix. In recent years San Francisco has made sizable strides to increase the supply of inclusionary and affordable housing. You can read about the full range of programs [here](http://sfmohcd.org/). Below we highlight two.

The [Inclusionary Housing Program](http://sfmohcd.org/inclusionary-housing-program) requires “developers of projects with 10 or more units to pay an Affordable Housing Fee, or to instead sell or rent a percentage of the units at a "below market rate" (BMR) price that is affordable to low or middle income households.” The below chart shows the number of projects and total below market rate units created since 1989. &lt;div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-square"&gt; &lt;iframe width="680" height="510" src="https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=<KEY>" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; &lt;/div&gt; The [Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development](http://sfmohcd.org/) (MOHCD) and the [Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure](http://sfocii.org/) (OCII) in partnership with non-profit and private developers construct affordable housing projects. Below are two charts. The first shows the completed affordable housing projects as of 2015. &lt;div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-square"&gt; &lt;iframe width="680" height="510" src="https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=<KEY>" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; &lt;/div&gt; The following chart shows all the affordable housing projects currently in progress for 2016. &lt;div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-square"&gt; &lt;iframe width="680" height="510" src="https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=<KEY>" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; &lt;/div&gt; These are just a few of the things we are thankful for.
