- lokar 3y agoPeople need to accept the legitimacy of government and laws, especially local where you have the most direct representation and influence. Stop complaining. Either change the rules or shut up. If everyone on SF hates these rules they will be easy to change.
- legitster 3y ago> hardship overhanging the sidewalk imposes on the handicapped Some of the neighborhoods in question are in off the path areas and on steep grades. I wonder how much this is a legitimate problem or a "gotcha" justification.

- pavel_lishin 3y agoNot just handicapped - accessibility features help the able as well. Someone pushing a child stroller, or a grocery trolley. A child on a bike. An adult carrying something heavy. When people park in such a way as to block the sidewalk, I walk around their car through their yard. If they can help themselves to the sidewalk, I can help myself to their lawn.
- bifrost 3y agoIt has zero to do with that; A bulk of SF was built when cars were enormous. The people parking ON the sidewalk do it because they either don't care, already have a car in their garage or street parking is taken up by people who have 12 people living in their house with 16 cars on the street.
