Newsom (might have) said when he answered yesterday's one millionth call to <a href="http://sfist.com/2007/03/29/san_franciscos_new_311_telephone_service_.php">311</a>.</p>

<p>Since its launch in April, <a href="http://www.sfgov.org/sf311">311</a> helps SF residents bypass "over 2,300 telephone numbers that existed previously to access city services...[and] reduces calls to the City’s 911 center, where over 50% of calls received are for non-emergency services." (Really? Like, "Hi, I just called to chat, is all" or "I just saw Loni Anderson over on Chestnut!" kind of non-emergency calls? Because there should be an eleven-number just for those. That would be awesome.)</p>

<p>And what was the one millionth call concerning? A report of <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/10/24/BAG4FSVA9Q.DTL&amp;feed=rss.bayarea">upturned newspaper racks</a> at Geary and Kearny. Newsom told the man that he would make sure the problem was fixed right-quick, and to have a nice day. Us, we would have asked him if his arms were broken.</p>

<p>San Francisco's other and <a href="http://sfist.com/2007/04/02/theres_a_new_eleven_in_town.php">inferior</a> eleven, <a href="http://sfist.com/2007/08/13/511org_still_in.php">511</a>, has no comment as of this time.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
