Prioritize moving people, not storing cars

Support a rational parking policy in San Francisco

In a dense city like San Francisco, there is a lack of space. A lot of it is dedicated to storing private vehicles on public property for free for long periods of time. Everyone suffers from it - drivers who legitimately need access have trouble finding parking. People on foot are at risk by cars circling impatiently in search of the coveted parking spot. People on bicycles are endangered by double-parkers, who have given up trying to find a spot. Muni's reliability and performance is ruined by the increased congestion caused by circling for parking and the double-parking that blocks the right of way. We support a policy that discourages driving and vehicle storage, in favor of making it easier those who truly need to drive and park, to do so. We support a policy that encourages transportation by foot, bicycle and Muni, so that overall MORE people benefit. We believe this policy benefits everybody. Do you agree?
