Look at this guy – see all the stickers he has from San Francisco’s ridiculous residential parking permit program?
He’s probably paid, all by himself, for two or three day’s worth of retirement benefits for a Parking Control Officer.
Hurray!

And look, he bought a bunch of parking permits the right way, you know, one after the other.

Bush Street from Masonic to Market is straight, hilly, and fast – it’s San Francisco’s version of Marin County’s Blithedale Ridge Roller Coaster trail.
Looks as if we got our weekly Tuesday Noon Siren Test in early when some of San Francisco’s emergency sirens went off today at 3:45PM to … mark the end of Sunday Streets Chinatown?
Take a look:
“The siren signified the end of Sunday Streets this week in Chinatown. We apologize for any concern.”
So more than just the one siren went off and that was the mistake?
Why should our City Family be horsing around with the emergency sirens in the first place?
So we should call them San Francisco’s Emergency/End of Sunday Streets sirens?
Anyway, it sounded like this:
Here’s an update from Tom Prete of Ocean Beach Bulletin:
“A siren from San Francisco’s Outdoor Public Warning System sounded at about 3:45 p.m. Sunday, but a City Twitter account stated that the siren was activated accidentally.”
And here comes Johnny-come-lately AlertSF.org:
“The sirens were activated citywide inadvertently this afternoon. There is no emergency in San Francisco.
Thank you,
Alert SF”

UPDATE: Well geez, people, this was just a fleeting peek – I didn’t stick around to see how far dude made it down Bush Street and how fast he was going, etc. I’m just saying, “When This Cyclist ‘Takes the Lane’ on Busy Pine Street, He Really Takes the Lane.” That’s all.
“21202. (a) Any person operating a bicycle upon a roadway at a speed less than the normal speed of traffic moving in the same direction at that time shall ride as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway except…”
I don’t know, this seemed like a big deal on Saturday but I passed by yesterday and couldn’t even tell that there’d been a fire.

A $1.3 million place with just one bathroom?
OK fine.
Attention truck, bus, and limousine drivers of the world:
It’s hard to drive in San Francisco.
If you’d only realize that when you’re planning your trip into town, life would be so much easier for you.

Remember, it’s hard to drive here…
Or maybe John Lee Hudson isn’t back but his car sure is, having been spotted in the Financh on Friday.
(Parked illegally, of course, with the four-way flashers flashing.)
As seen on Halleck Alley in the heart of the 94111 – note ogler taking a snap while gushing about this 100% fake 1928 Mercedes Benz SSK replicar:

Now, if I had gotten taken down by Jim Cox over at the Socketsite in this fashion, well, I’d have left town vowing to never come back.
But some people are shameless.
Even more shameless than Hollywood Foreclosure King Nicolas Cage, who used to own 1945 Franklin* before JLH et ux.
Anywho, this ride is not a “Refurbished 1936 Mercedes Excalibur,” just saying.
*I think he was the one who added the garages to the front – at least that’s what the nanny told me back in the day.

You know, back in the day, SFGov freely violated the 14th Amendment until it got slapped down.
These days, SFGov violates the 1st Amendment with its Christians Park Free rule. When will SFGov get slapped down on this issue?
I know not. It’ll take a new Yick Wo to file a lawsuit. (Right? ‘Cause just nagging the SFGov isn’t going to cut it. SFGov will just ignore you.)
In the meantime, enjoy San Francisco’s Transit First (Except for Church-Goers) policy.
It’s exactly like this, or at least this is what it looks like through the telephoto:

Of course, Skateboarding is Not a Crime, as they say, but this certainly looks illegal…
Isn’t it beautiful?

Of course the National Dollar used to advertise Everything $1 or Less but there came a time when that wasn’t actually true, so City Attorney Dennis Herrera got after them.
So now the sign says “Everything ___ or Less.”
Hurray!
