Well, at least for this particularly oddly-shaped piece of real estate on Main Street near Folsom, the answer was this many:
“Last in, first out.” Click to expand.
I don’t know if this lot in SoMA is still around. The photo was taken from the office of a billionaire who was quite solicitous owing to a project he wanted to kick off before he himself kicked off.
Here’s what I wrote a half decade back:
It might be a pain to park here, under the shadow of the new Infinity San Francisco towers, but at least you won’t get the boot, or get into a chain reaction accident, or get all messy. Of course, if you work for San Francisco Honda, then just park wherever - the sidewalk, for example.
Lastly, DO NOT PAY THIS MAN!“

For an hour, anyway.
You’ll need to approach your free space from 5th Street, as Clementina is a one-way.
And I guess the main entrance to Target is at 4th and Mission, so if that’s your destination then it’s more better to say two blocks away.
But still, free parking is free parking.
See?

Enjoy

Good-bye BODY MASTER USA / Auto City on Divisadero. (You can visit it now at its new location on Folsom Street.)

Jesse Mullan of the Dogpatch Howler has the deets of the remission of SFMTA’s parking-meters-solve-everything expansion. It appears Operation Barbarossa is bogging down this winter due to heavy assault from the Proles.
Per the crappy SFMTA’s Jay Primus:
“I am writing with a brief update on the parking management proposals for the Mission Bay, 12th & Folsom, and 17th & Folsom areas.
The SFMTA Board will no longer be taking action on the SFpark expansion areas at the February 7th Board meeting. Rather, we will conduct further outreach ahead of Board action.
The northernmost section of the Mission Bay Parking Management Proposal was already designated as an SFpark area and will be the only part of the proposal going forward.
For the SFpark expansion areas, including the Dogpatch and Potrero Hill neighborhoods and the 12th and Folsom and 17th and Folsom proposals, the SFMTA will conduct additional outreach and engage in further discussion with various stakeholders before any further action is considered.”
So, that’s their way of saying no parking meters for now.
Doesn’t the SFMTA know by now that it sucks? It’s hard to tell. Sometimes it seems that the SFMTA thinks it’s not dysfunctional. Isn’t that funny?
Speaking of funny, let’s let Jess Mullan spank the SFMTA over all the bullcrap it spews about SFPark.
O.K. then.

Our San Francisco International Auto Show runs through Sunday, November 27th, 2011 down at Moscone Center.
See hundreds of photos of this year’s show courtesy of Eric Broder Van Dyke.
That’s Fisker Automotive down there on the left. They make the Karma hybrid car. (Half a decade ago, Fisker competitor Tesla Automotive had this very space, but they’ve run into trouble since then and they were nowhere to be seen in 2011):
This is the second thing you’ll see as you descend from Howard Street:
From the Academy of Art University (“the Art School of Art Schools”) collection:
Isn’t it cute?
It’s a 1959 Autobiancho Bianchina Transformabile, “the rich man’s Fiat 500.”
Lot’s of nostalgia on hand this year, as per usual:
Classic 1965 Ford Mustang pool table with working headlights:
Here’s your Best in Show #1, the 2012 MINI John Cooper Works Coupe:
All the deets:
A huge Nissan something or other:
The American Pride Camaro:
Here’s the Aftermarket Avenue. Why would you need even one flat panel TV in your trunk?
Oh look, Tesla Automotive makes gasoline-powered cars now! These Lotus cars are shorter and lighter than those failed Tesla Roadsters, so handling is probably much better. Oh, they’re a lot cheaper to boot:
Does your Rolls Royce convertible have suicide doors? If not, why not?
Toyota will slam your Prius hybrid these days. What’s next, a factory chop and channel job?
And here’s your other Best in Show, the Scion IQ 3+1. That 3+1 means that the seat behind the driver has zero legroom, basically, but the seat behind the front passenger is roomy owing to the front passenger seat being mounted closer to the windshield than the driver’s seat. Check it:
See you there!

October 16th, 2011 will be on a Sunday so I’ll prolly be breakin’ in the malls, breakin’ on the streets, natch, but you, you’ve got kids, so you should head down to SoMA for Yerba Buena Family Day 2011.

“…San Francisco’s biggest daylong family block party with free admission, special art activities and free performances for children and families at the following venues within 1 or 2 blocks of each other in the Yerba Buena arts district at 3rd Street and Mission Street in downtown San Francisco.”
That means that Target will pick up the tab when you visit the SFMOMA, the Jew Mu, the MoAD and the Children’s Creativity Museum.
Hurray! (Hey Target, why are you taking so long to open down there in Metreon? Or for that matter, Geary and Masonic. C’mon, wiki wiki.)
All right, see you and your fam there!

You know, I never really thought of 11th and Folsom as a bad place for a bidness to end up, until I saw this ad.
See?
Just a few blocks from the site of the new and improved, tax-unencumbered Twitter world HQ:

Can you tell where the ersatz decay ends and the genuine decay begins? ‘Cause I sure can’t. This looks like Detroit to me.
(But hey, wouldn’t this be a good place for, I don’t know, a nightclub or something? Oh, the SFPD doesn’t want to deal with any more shooty bridge-and-tunnel types coming in from the East Bay? And area NIMBYs prefer arrested decay over anything else in the world? Oh, I see…)
Still waiting for the corrupt Twitterloin to Change Everthing…
