Together forever, in Ignatius Heights from a few days back:

PS: MUNI sucks. And San Francisco’s “strong Mayor” systems sucks as well. Perhaps there’s a relationship there…
PPS: Speaking of which, Mayor Ed Lee’s approval rating is now in the 40′s and MUNI’s on-time rating is down in the 50′s. Perhaps there’s a relationship there…
PPPS: An on-time rating is a fairly stupid way to keep track of MUNI, but it’s what we have so oh well.
And no one’s been lying
‘Cause we don’t lie any more

Even with a spotter, trying to park this trailered rig on the left side of Fell Street, well that can’t be a picnic. The very prospect of thinking about which way to turn the stearing wheel gives me a headache.
Didn’t see how this one turned out, but just for the bold attempt, and considering the degree of difficulty, this man deserves to be San Francisco Parallel Parker of the Year, 2009.
¡Bienvenido a San Francisco!

Now take a look at this full-size Chevrolet Silverado work truck parked on the Streets of San Francisco (a Quinn Martin Production). The driver literally had about one inch of maneuvering space fore and aft, so it was fairly obvious he wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Whose fault is it? Either the driver of the Subaru wagon on the left or the 3-series BMW on the right. The onus is on you, the parker, to make sure others can get out, right?

In this case, the Chevy owner gave up and the BMW left a few hours later. It was replaced by a MINI Cooper, whose owner actually checked to see if he left enough space.
That’s your transportation-related Lesson of the Day.
¡Bienvenido a San Francisco!

When it comes time to paint your house, consider using only the three primary additive colors - red, green, and blue. But don’t mix them or anything. That would be like cheating.
As seen on Parker Avenue. Click to expand:
Could University of San Francisco students somehow be involved? Possibly.
