My pet peeve is that this city keeps trying to bill itself as "green" and "progressive" yet does nothing to earn the title. Gavin Newsom seems to think being green means planting ficus in the Tenderloin. We need to be MUCH more progressive about global warming and traffic congestion by implementing congestion tolls, raising parking fares, making MUNI actually viable, and forget about requiring MUNI to "fund itself." The subway needs to go way past Chinatown into North Beach, a neighborhood that crawls with drunk drivers every night.
And how about making Alioto-Pier’s token gesture of making it illegal to smoke in parks and make it apply EVERYWHERE. For crying out loud, Omaha, Nebraska can make smoking in public illegal but our progressive city can’t? OMAHA?? More progressive than San Francisco? Even Paris, France is working on banning smoking. Forget the parks. People are much more exposed to second hand smoke just walking to work every day, and the sidewalks are littered with butts.
My biggest pet peeve is all the morons who say "I like Gavin Newsom" and then, when pressed on the issue, can’t come up with one reason why. DO SOMETHING, FOR GOD’S SAKE.
