How to use city streets
Letter to the editor in today's SF Chronicle:
“S.F. debating whether to bring cars back to scenic coastal road” (June 24) has some valid points on both sides of the issue. No one group is going to be 100% happy so why not settle for a compromise, something sadly missing in America today? It doesn’t have to be “My way or the highway.”
I did shake my head at one thing in the article. The proponents of keeping the road closed to all traffic stated: “the closure created a space to safely recreate with children — an oasis where pedestrians and bicyclists can enjoy the city’s natural abundance without fear about safety.”
Hmm, an oasis. Isn’t there a beach and the ocean on one side of the highway and Golden Gate Park on the other side? Seems like they both qualify as an oasis better than a cement highway.

Rob's comment:
Yes, for the anti-car movement, "a cement highway" is best used for anything but those wicked motor vehicles.
Recall Heather Knight's statement last year of the anti-car case:
San Francisco finally has some European-style outdoor plazas, like the shuttered blocks of Valencia Street and some roadways where kids can safely learn how to ride their bikes, skateboarders can do tricks, and families can walk their dogs right up the middle...We’d be crazy to give them up.Here’s hoping San Franciscans can gather in big numbers again someday soon on these streets to bike, jog, walk — and yes, hug our friends...
Who doesn't want to watch those brave, charming skateboarders do tricks? And why not let dogs crap in the middle of the street? They crap everywhere else in the city.
Even though experts worry about children on bikes and traumatic brain injury, let's use city streets without cars to teach our children how to ride bikes.
And what about hugging our friends? Surely we need a lot more room to do that.

I enjoy going back and forth with you on politics republican/democrat etc. But every single time you post a quote this Heather Knight it makes the both of us more stupid.
Why not allow bike riding and skateboarding in Disneyland.
“And yes, hug our friends”
What the fuck does she do message a friend on Instagram “hey can you meet me on 17th and Valencia at 3pm”? “Sure why?.” “I need a hug”
What a dumb ass. She has a PHD in donkey-ology. Crack was scientifically created using her brain cells. What the fuck!!!!!! Your killing me with this bitch seriously.
Yes, you like my posts about the dumb anti-car stuff our local liberals---and the local media---are pushing. But you don't like my anti-Trump, anti-Republican posts.
Still waiting for your answer to this question: Was the 2020 election stolen from Trump?
Anti car subject is the only thing you actually tell the truth s out.
To answer your question....

That links a Jimmy Kimmel monologue, not an answer to the question. This is where you get your political ideas, late night TV?
Instead of sticking to Heather which we both agree is an idiot. You done at me simple because I’m not a democrat. Proves my point on a lot I’ve said on here about you.
“ This is where you get your political ideas, late night TV?”
Exactly! We may be getting somewhere now.
I "done at you simple"?
Me not clear on where us maybe getting.
Must be racist for you to be speaking like an American Indian played by a white person in a movie from the 1960s.
Here’s the correction for you corn ball:
“You come at me simply”
Yes, it's all about race with you. If you take your ideas and your point of view seriously, why so careless with your comments?
