As far as I’m concerned the mid-street parking for various religious institutions are a selfish and self-righteous, i.e., I’m worshiping — better than you — and I deserve a break. It is disruptive and dangerous, with car doors opening into the street, and jaywalkers.

With as broke as the city is, for a long time I’ve thought that in order to take up the Public right-of-way, they should pay for a permit every time they use the street for their own benefit.

When neighborhood groups need to use a lane of traffic for a safety buffer while planting or maintaining medians, a permit is issued. The churches should apply the same way.

In another unrelated note, what’s up with these stalky Mission Fashion pictures that keep showing up that are mostly images of female legs and buttocks? In many images it doesn’t look like the subject is aware they have been photographed.

Do it. And then sue the city when the laws are selectively enforced based on religious discrimination.

Right, so you want your special privilege to continue and that’s fine because you don’t have a problem with it.

Do you see the issue yet ? If I was fine with people spraying graffiti all over your house cause I didn’t have a problem with it, you would be ok with it, right ?

What is the source of this belief that cyclists don’t pay taxes ???

We just want you to follow the same laws as everyone else. Why are you so special?

Right on. These churchgoers don’t even live in the neighborhood, why should we encourage them to drive and park here? They should either take transit or pay for parking just like everyone else.

I am a second generation San Franciscan and I am sick of these holier than thou types.

Was thinking about having a party at my place next Saturday night. Anyone have a problem if 30 or so of my friends park in the left lane of Guerrero between 21st and 22nd for a couple of hours? I can print some permits that they can put on their windshield.

you really think thats what this is about? she knows she will attract more attention with that ‘crusade’ like thinking. i am a church goer in the mission, as well as a resident who lives on guerrero street. i dont care if people park their cars in the median to go to the mission dolores, or if they are going to dolores park for the afternoon to enjoy a nice day. in fact, numerous friends have taken advantage of this more times than i can count to head down to bi rite, and NEVER have they been yelled at. its actually something to look forward to in an odd way. you should check your self righteousness.

No taxes to fix local streets come from the gas taxes. Recall that we just passed a $248 Million dollar streets bond. That will all be repaid from the general fund, coming from sales and property taxes among other things, but not from the gas tax.
