Should dogs be allowed off-leash?

I spotted this sign in the Upper Haight recently and was surprised to find it linked to a database for reporting off-leash dogs.

• As someone who's mostly viewed off-leash dogs as part of San Francisco park culture, I now find myself wondering where people draw the line.

🐾 So fellow dog owners, when is it ok for dogs to be off-leash and when is it not?

• Maybe you're fine with it at the park, but not on sidewalks. Maybe only if the dog has perfect recall. Maybe never near kids or traffic.
