Things I find of interest

Well, here’s what I think…..

Text Box: The Board of Supervisors have approved the construction of massive apartment complexes in SoMa and the downtown area with a 3 to 1 unit to parking space ratio.  Now they are claiming a crisis in available spaces. 25 cents for 5 min ($3hr) is not enough for the board of supervisors. Now they want to increase it to pay ‘according to demand’.  Again the city is trying to extort its citizens to its failed mass transit policy.  

It is bad enough that the city nickel and dimes its citizens at every turn, whether it be a temporary server tax (15+ yrs), or ticketing people on Columbus Day ($50 for expired meter) which all city and federal agencies observe.  DPT doesn’t observe it yet it pays its agents holiday pay for working that day If you want people not to drive, fix Muni.  An on time run rate of less than 70% is not reliable transportation.  Use the model that Paris, London, or New York use.  Those systems work.  Until we have a transit system that connects the Sunset and the Richmond to the rest of the City, I am driving my car.
Text Box: The City of SF spends $145mil each year on a homeless population estimated to be between 6-7 thousand.  Why do we still have bums in SF denigrating the quality of life in SF for taxpayers and tourists.
Text Box: Isn’t is strange that when you are in a big city and walking down the street, everyone seems to be walking in the opposite direction.  Even if you stop in a store and go the back other way, the majority seems to be walking towards you as if they know something is there you shouldn't be walking towards.

Text Box: London to Paris on the Eurostar is now down to 2hrs.  The TGV can get you pretty much anywhere in France from Paris in a couple of hrs.  Here is what it looks like from the passenger seat.
