While checking out a cool S.F.F.D. Fire Truck parked in the red zone at the corner of Rondel & 16th Street, (where Esta Noche Cantina used to be, we saw an Uber Driver pull up and park in the Commercial Parking Only Yellow Zone, in front of El Cafetazo Cafe.
We took a picture and asked him about parking in a spot that is intentioned for commercial vehicles to come and go fast to do deliveries, loading and unloading. He said, 'It's okay because I have commercial plates and that lets me park in any commercial zone like this.'
That sounds cool... but then we thought, wait a minute, if the intent of these spots is fast 'in and out' access to get goods and services into our local restaurants and shops, then what is the legitimate reason he is parking there, in fact ?
Is he using the commercial space for bonafide commercial purposes, as intended or is he misusing or 'taking' that space, illegally for his own personal use, such as personal shopping or perhaps... eating a lunch at a nearby restaurant, but he doesn't want to pay for a real consumer parking spot... he'd rather slide by using a commercial space for personal stuff.
It's our understanding that if a public servant uses city property for personal use, without legitimate approval, it's considered to be 'an unlawful taking' or theft of city property.
If a caretaker uses a disabled person's car and placard to do personal shopping with, it's a criminal offense, like a kind of a fraud to use a valid thing to cover use of time or vehicles to do personal matters and errands with. It's a form of deception.
When people cheat like this, it tells us alot about their true underlying nature of their character and conduct 'when they think no one is watching'. It's fun like babysitting bad spoiled children from afar.
When the S.F.F.D. Firemen came over to their fire truck, we discussed slow emergency response times relative to increased number of amateur drivers for fire, who constantly block bike lanes, pull fast U-Turns, leave 20 foot gaps in front and behind while sitting in traffic using their distractive devices and told the firemen the truth.
When our city is capable of STOPPING the renegades and regulation avoiders who are here en masse, clogging up our streets, stealing parking spaces and pissing off the entire town, slowing down all emergency responses and our normal local traffic & shopping patterns and flows -- we will NOT support using more tax money to buy more emergency response vehicles and personnel.
Why would any sane person support increasing the number of emergency vehicles and personnel on the road, not while we have ever increasing numbers of newcomer & other amateur drivers IMPACTING OUR ABILITY TO MOVE FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER QUICKLY & SAFELY, IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Adding more emergency vehicles will just cause more conflict and delays.
When our city leaders cater to corporations that BLOCK OUR ABILITY TO SAVE LIVES QUICKLY and FAIL TO ENFORCE OUR LAWS TO STOP THEM then we must replace our city leaders.
They sucked up to the same global banks and corporations that are plundering our city and stealing local cash flows.
They are causing a clear and present threat and danger to our people walking on the streets.
They steal from mom and pop shops who need affordable space and unimpeded parking and pedestrian traffic flows by using commercial spaces for personal errands and driving while distracted, as a habit that kills.
We're putting in a call to SFMTA and City Hall to learn if it's illegal for anyone to use commercial plates, to avoid paying their fair share of parking fees.
Or when they are using them for their own personal or non-commercial purpose or some other use -- which is not the intended use, as expressed by local codes.

Stay tuned.... we think MANY VALID COMMERCIAL vehicles are now driving round and round the block, causing more pollution, traffic, delays and costs to us all.
Only because scores of amateur drivers like from Uber and perhaps Lyft, et al. are TAKING AWAY & MISUSING space and meter time that was NEVER INTENDED to used by them for their personal errand parking convenience, in the first place.
WANT TO HAVE MORE FUN ? TRY THIS:
1. Call up Uber & Lyft - ask them if it's Company Policy to allow Uber Drivers to Use Commercial Plates to use to park in Metered Commercial Yellow Zones to do their personal errands with ?
2. Call up SFMTA - ask them if it's cool to have Uber vehicles parked in LOADING ONLY Yellow Zones while they run errands and go eat lunch down the street ?
3. Call up the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and Mayor Edwin Lee (aka Liar, liar, pants on fire, leave you to die in a bomb threat at city hall Mayor) - ask them:
Why Do You Let These Mega Corporations get away with grand theft, murder and causing over 5,000 local businesses and over 10,000 local residents become homeless in the past 3 years alone ?
Why do you allow a climate to exist that results in over 3,000 Homeless children enrolled in schools to happen, when there was only a few hundred, before Chase Bank & All These Global For Profit Monsters came to town starting in 2006-2007, to this very day.
SHAME ON YOU ALL !
Why did you take away public bus lines on Valencia, spend a fortune on trees and bike lanes only to have Google Buses (often empty), Uber, Lyft and others come along and clog it all up and make it unsafe ?
They are over-running (aka Nazi Blitzkreig) our local mom and pops and local residents & existing public services and grass roots community groups (like in Our Bayview).
They continue to get away with this, only because of a general lack of protection and enforcement of laws that we wrote for our protection.

| Honor Given To Known Criminals |
To reduce harm, costs, risks and save lives and be locally prosperous, self-sufficient and independent of not from here banksters, corporations and bad higher government.
Why Do You Honor Known Criminals Like Raymond Chow ?
Ask them if they are Traitors or are they Honorable leaders ?
Ask them if they are going to admit they screwed up big time for short term personal, political and other gains by destroying the lives of over 10,000 San Franciscans who did no wrong, caused no harm.
They were simply PUSHED OUT by renegade techies who do not respect locals, do not respect our traditions, customs, laws and ways of living.
They are here to take, take, take and our current city leaders ARE GUILTY AS CHARGED.
Gee, we sure wish the Honorable San Francisco Board of Supervisor Jane Kim would be OUR MAYOR & KICK ASS of all these carpet bagger, newcomer plunderers that our current Mayor kisses up to...
What a piece of work Lee turned out to be.
His actions have spoken louder then his empty or much too late promises... to many, it's a disgusting lack of honor or heart FOR THE PEOPLE.

| Bit Younger Jane Kim circa 2005 |
We've watched her 'really grow up' these past few years and have gotten to know her and understand her better.
She's for real. She's not for sale to greedy shortsided developers and carpet baggers from the East.
She has A HEART and IS VERY SMART and understands CIVIL RIGHTS.
She WORKS WITH OUR PEOPLE, not making megabucks on the side harming them and making them become homeless.
WE ARE BEHIND YOU 100% JANE!
THINK ABOUT IT... THE HONORABLE MAYOR JANE KIM FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY & COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO ...
OR THINK ABOUT BECOMING CALIFORNIA STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
WE CAN SEE IT NOW!

IMAGINE THAT PEOPLE!
A CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY - FOR THE PEOPLE - AS OUR STATE'S TOP LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.
Do you think she would let The Elite get away with destroying our local cannabis collectives and allow them to create Cannabis Monopolies For The Elite ?
Cheers to you all. Remember you are never alone. There are new groups -not on facebook- growing all over many other Social Network Sites that do not track you or resell your personal data and habits and contact lists. We've been reviewing a list of 49 Alternatives To Facebook and will update that Issue in a few months. We're already on a so-far-so-good, steady-as-we-go 'secure' sites in Iceland which are on two sites.
One site (https://seen.is) is for more public group social networking with forums and groups, classifieds and is very cool and clean. You'd be surprised how many groups you know and don't know have scrambled like bees to Seen.Is to get away from the others we can't trust.
The other twin site is ( https://UnSeen.Is) is very much more private. Great for secure, voice, text, video chat and group and team building for family, trusted peers, other group leaders, et cetera, so you can get real stuff done, without advertising or constant commercialized distractions or the taking of your personal data and content for profits like facebook and all like them have done, to us all for too long.
Stay safe and never be alone on the Streets of San Francisco or the place where you live.

I have used Uber pretty much since it was introduced. However, now that Uber tracks your location EVEN if your phone is OFF, i'm out. I will never use Uber again until they change this policy. Deleted it from every device in my family and am passing the word to everyone who will listen to do the same.
