• marco commented on Does SF Allow "Illegal" Church Parking? SFMTA, SFPD Don't Seem To Agree
  It's completely disingenuous for the parking department to say "the City does not seek out double parking cases to issue citations" -- routinely when the Church parking "monitors" leave and there are a few unfortunately stragglers left parked in the lane, DPT comes through and tickets and tows these cars -- on Sunday afternoon....

  Aside from the fact that law enforcement actions should never be decided upon by "unwritten agreements", the safety issues caused by allowing a non-specific number of vehicles to park in a non-specific number of unmarked temporary spaces for a non-specific time period are sufficient reasons to resolve this dilemma. Driving down Guerrero St. well after normal church service hours on a Sunday, one will most likely encounter a few stray vehicles parked in the inside driving lane. It is easy to mistake these vehicles as moving. Whether these vehicles belong to church-goers taking advantage of parking privileges or not is...

I don't believe gay civil rights is at all comparable: instead consider how it's okay to restrict smoking in commercial districts. Noxious behavior is noxious behavior, impeding my equal right to enjoy public spaces......

  I live in District 6 (and not on Rincon Hill) and voted for it. Why should anyone be surprised that the city's business community ("elite", "movers and shakers") were strongly for it? To a large extent, business in SF means tourism and I know from watching their reactions and listening to their comments that tourists are very turned off by disheveled drunken bums, nasty stoned kids and the eliminations from their bodies on the sidewalks. And I shouldn't need to, but I'll remind that the presence of those same tourists is what employes a lot of less than elite San...
