Why do we only have one street fair a year at the Haight?

      People also burn out of street fairs really fast, so limiting it to once a year will make them more enjoyable when they do happen.

        What is the cost of having a street fair?

        I guess I'm use to the nyc's street fairs that are all over the neighborhoods. I'm looking for some uniqueness or authentic items and not overpriced merchandise possibly less yuppie-like for example polk st. (sorry I hope I didn't defend anyone.)

          Street fairs are usually too overthought and underfunded - I'm familiar with Milwaukee where the churches did beer busts and there was a fair every weekend

          A stret fair could happen if it was well organized and started as a block long or even better - a private parking lot where gate donations could go to local charities that serve the people of the area - like homelessness or shelters, food programs etc
