What is your point exactly?

by yapcguy 13y ago
I hate this story. It's pure exploitation. Firstly, and most importantly, Leo is still homeless. Second, who the hell is Patrick McConlogue? This whole charade is like the film Trading Places, it's like those awful Bum Fights vi

Muni buses now have cameras and there is a team which looks through all the footage spotting violations, even parking violations, and then they issue tickets. The city should have enforced the traffic laws right from the start and not allow

Yes, yes and yes. Google & co. did not ask anybody before they started using the public Muni stops. They just used them. To hell with regulations, traffic laws, and the city of San Francisco. Google & co. are bullying the city. Th
