We are Friends of SOMA Springs

ATTENTION: The SF Chronicle is spreading false accusations that FoSS is 1. fake and 2. in the past tense. This FAKE newspaper better check its facts!! Friends of SOMA Springs is very much real and demands an immediate retraction. If Mr. Dineen does not correct these factual errors he will be considered an Enemy of the Springs.

The Springs are in Danger ⚠️

FoSS will be taking immediate action in response to this wanton destruction of the last natural wetlands in San Francisco. ✊

This was SOMA Springs

The last naturally occurring wetland environment in San Francisco.

Hayes Creek revitalization

For millions of years SOMA Springs was a riparian zone at the confluence of the Mission Creek and Hayes Creek watersheds. Now nature is reclaiming the land through the miracle of groundwater infiltration.

As for your high towers and monuments, there was a crazy fellow once in this town who undertook to dig through to China, and he got so far that, as he said, he heard the Chinese pots and kettles rattle; but I think that I shall not go out of my way to admire the hole which he made. Many are concerned about the monuments of the West and the East—to know who built them. For my part, I should like to know who in those days did not build them—who were above such trifling.
