San Francisco Opens its Data Stores

Yesterday Gavin Newsom, mayor of San Francisco, who is running for governor of California, announced a new website, datasf.orgthat offers datasets of all kinds about the city by the Bay. It’s a bit of a jumble, with data in several formats (and unlike data.gov, no option for .csv, shape or KML). Still it’s a start. I’m wondering if “peer pressure” from leading cities can push such an effort to grow across the U.S.?
