It’s my money, and if I wish to push for our dependence on foreign energy, then so be it. I don’t tell other people how to live.

Thank you for maintaining our dependance on foreign energy! All the money you spend on gas is good for the economy right?

I like the parklets because I don’t have to worry about being door’d by the parked cars as I bike by. Driving and parking in the mission is a big waste of time anyway. I don’t won’t driving to end, but rather reserved for special occasions and be expensive.

Two quarters gets you 15 minutes. But I get what you mean.

the outrage over the removal of this small handful of parking spots seems like a lot of crying over very little. did the motorist community celebrate when the 26 bus stopped running and they added 20 or so new parking spots? nope. there are a few hundred thousand other parking spots in the City, it’s silly to whine over losing a couple in an attempt to make the city more livable for those who occasionally step out of their vehicles.

the parking meters in this city are ridiculously cheap, they serve to keep people from parking days at a time in areas with a lot of restaurants and shops, such as Mission and Valencia streets. compared to the other costs of owning a car, the two quarters you put into a meter seem pretty trivial.

The truth usually comes out in the arguments in the voter information booklets. It’s tedious reading, but I actually regret not saving any of them for, lo, these many decades.

Don’t the businesses adjoining the parklet compensate the city for a portion of the lost meter income? The city does not care about parking except as a revenue stream.

With permits and other fees, yes.

This is a great idea! Have you ever thought about expanding this project to, say, the freeways?
