I would like to see many of these datasets for demographics (such as homeless populations), social services (food stamp applications, WIC, CalWORKS, MediCal), and crime reporting be posted not only for the whole county, but by census tract. Many GIS researchers use census tract as a basic geographical unit to study areas - zipcodes and counties are too big.
The City and County of San Francisco has a new open data site: Data.SFGov.org.
Please follow the link to the site to search, browse and view San Francisco data.

DataSF is a clearinghouse of datasets available from the City & County of San Francisco. Our goal in releasing this site is:
(1) improve access to data
(2) help our community create innovative apps
(3) understand what datasets you'd like to see
(4) get feedback on the quality of our datasets.
