• Commented on Things That Are Like Death To San Franciscans: Parking
  @Wordygirl - you were doing it wrong. There's plenty of parking near Duboce park - an easy walk to all of the lower Haight. I own a car in the city and I have to agree with Greg - you...
• Commented on James Fang Reelected To BART Board, Says He Still Wants To Build BART To Ocean Beach
  In an election full of depressing results, this was just another punch in the face. When will we pull together a real transit-oriented advocacy group that stands up for riders and isn't just a shill for one side or another...
• Commented on Tenant Troubles: District 8 Tenants, Your Only Candidate for Supervisor is Rafael Mandelman
  You can do better than "OMG CHRISDALY!!!"...
• Commented on ARCO Station, Bicycle Activist Group Remain Locked in Heated Stalemate Over Bicyclist Safety Concerns
  Well put Greg....
• Commented on Ask the Appeal: Where Are The 'Cop Bars' in SF?
  Powerhouse...
• Commented on Ask the Appeal: SF Parking Tips for Tourists
  This is why I strongly suggest to visitors that they not try to park in the Northeast corner of our city. The area is rich with public transit and the parking regulations are byzantine....
• Commented on Mayoral Math: Gavin Says Half The Supes Are Hypocritical Condo Converters
  Gavin lying? Never! I would love to own my own home. But unlike Gavin I don't have a pile of Getty money to play with. So I rent. I know that Gavin would rather not have to share the city...
• Commented on Would You Vote To Ban Critical Mass? Chief Gascon Thinks You Would!
  Critical mass sucks, but it's pretty low on the list of things that are screwing up the city. And what sucks even more are people like kl2real who think dead and injured bicyclists are no big deal. Dead bicyclists like...
• Commented on Meet Your ($100K Worth Of) Dufty For Mayor Supporters
  Well, Dufty would be better than Gavin. But that's not saying much. I'll wait and see who else enters the game....
• Commented on Haight Bullies Foiled By Foot Patrols Or Sit-Lie Laws? Supe Aims To Find Out
  Study the issue? Figure out how to actually solve the problem? That's madness. I'd rather move forward with blind self righteousness!...
• Commented on Willie Brown Wants The Niners To Hire Michael Vick, Says We'll Get Over It
  Anybody who is getting self-righteous about Michael Vick but still eats animals from factory farms needs to tone down the hypocrisy....
• Commented on First Day Of Testimony In Prop 8 Trial: Change "Not Worth The Risk"
  "That is because there is a mountain of evidence that shows that boys and girls learn only certain things from men and certain things from women" This is frankly bullshit. Please provide links to some sort of peer-reviewed study that....
• Commented on See Spot Write: Are You Fucking Kidding Me?
  Bullshit like this is why I hate the Newsom gang and their cheerleading enablers at the Chron. We're facing real and serious problems in this city and they want to get their panties in a twist about uncouth language? Where's...
• Commented on Updated! Debaser's Attack On Local Blogger: Thinskinned, Or Justifiable Retaliation?
  Writing for a "blog" might explain the excessively snarky, inane, and self-referential content, but it doesn't excuse it. That being said, this whole debacle begs a much more interesting question of journalistic ethics and responsibilities in the internet age, (where...
• Commented on Updated! Debaser's Attack On Local Blogger: Thinskinned, Or Justifiable Retaliation?
  Mission Mission practices a needlessly nasty, personal, and inane version of pseudo-journalism, seems like they probably ought to expect these sorts of responses. The club's reaction fits well with MM's description, though. Nobody wins. @blooms - I'm not entirely sure...
• Commented on Dear Babe: How Can I Make Him "Ready" for Me?
  This letter just makes me sad for humanity. But it does lead to an important question. How does one have threesomes with models? I'm not willing to become a DJ. Or dink cocktails of the sort in the photograph attached...
• Commented on Tenderloin Supe Expresses Frustration At SFPD Slight Loudly, Profanely
  It'll be good for the progressive community when Daly isn't on the board anymore. While I'm sure the Chron and the rest of the usual suspects will quickly find another boogeyman, Daly does far too much to make himself an...
• Commented on Ask the Appeal: How To Choose A Bay Area Art School
  When I've gotten into discussions with my art/design friends about this topic the general consensus seems to be CCA > AAU and that one "shouldn't bother" with anything else in the bay area....
• Commented on How Are You Compensating For The Muni Service Slash?
  Raqcoon, I may look and act fit but I can't ride a bicycle. Seriously, I have an injury that prohibits me from riding a bike. I guess I could ride a motorcycle, but a hell of a lot of the...
• Commented on How Are You Compensating For The Muni Service Slash?
  This change won't really get to me, although the 26 was nice at times. It's almost always faster to walk from Montgomery to the ballpark than it is to take the N. Seriously. That's how slow MUNI is. When they...
• Commented on Speculation Time With Willie Brown: Who Else Will Feel Newsom's Ax?
  Is anybody even left for Newsom to fire? Rats and ships and such. . ....
• Commented on Supe: Newsom's Administration "imploding," Spokesperson's Departure Mere Symptom
  @Greg - All things considered I think David Chiu's doing a pretty good job as BOS president and I think he (along with Dufty, Elsbernd, Mirkarimi and possibly even Maxwell or Campos) would all make better mayors than Gavin from...
• Commented on Things San Franciscans Like: Thematic Bars
  Is "dive bar" not also an overplayed theme?...
• Commented on Poll: Where Do You Fall On The Bay Bridge Blame Spectrum?
  Sure, the accidents could be avoided if people followed the speed limits - but a significantly large group of folk are not going to follow the speed limit. Which is fine if they're the only ones who would die in...
• Commented on In The Cut: Supervisor Bevan Dufty
  @generic - Dufty has some good things going for him, but I'm not sure if transit is one of them. For example, he was the swing vote on the last muni budget and he voted the wrong way twice. Until...
• Commented on Dear Babe: I'm Disgusted By "Dude"
  I can deal with the casual use of "dude." What I can not deal with is the use of the word "bro." In any form. No matter if it's causal, ironic, unintentional, or part of crafted prose. Anybody who uses...
• Commented on Rowdy Game Day Partiers On Caltrain? It's Tradition!
  Whoops, I mean the 30. The Stockton bus from Chinatown....
• Commented on Rowdy Game Day Partiers On Caltrain? It's Tradition!
  Caltrain commuting pro-tip: Taking the 38 from 4th and king down to Powell and then onto muni is considerably faster than taking the N or the T. Walking to Powell is also faster. No joke....
• Commented on Rowdy Game Day Partiers On Caltrain? It's Tradition!
  There's nothing better than hopping on a Friday Caltrain after a long day at work, kicking back in one of their comfortable seats, and popping open a nice cold local microbrew. It's honestly one of the things that motivates me...
• Commented on On San Bruno Ave, Massage Parlor Tolerated, Pot Club Not So Much
  The club's response to your call makes me suspect that they didn't do much neighborhood outreach before venturing into the area. Whoops....
