> San Francisco ended up waiving the fines after the couple agreed to stop parking on the pavement. If the Craines build a cover for the paved property or a garage, officials said they can resume parking on it — in compliance with city code.
So they didn't have to pay the fine, and building the simplest garage would prevent them from being fined again. Seems like a good compromise.

- ASalazarMX 4y agoThey could also use the street in front of their house and pay nothing, it's like 3 meters away. I agree that it's a weird law to throw at them, maybe they obstructed the sidewalk sometimes? It doesn't make sense, but the video someone posted above shows the pavement strip is barely enough for the car.
- anarazel 4y agoStreet parking in most of SF requires a parking permit (which isn't free), you typically have to move the car weekly for street cleaning and in many areas of SF it's hard to find street parking.

- robonerd 4y ago"You're blocking the sidewalk [you aren't] but it will be okay if you also build a garage on top of the sidewalk" A good compromise? More like insanity.
