San francisco is clownworld

For decades, Judy and Ed Craine parked their car in the driveway in front of their San Francisco home. Parking in the Golden City can be tricky with its steep hills and busy streets, and the Craines say they were lucky to have a spot that's all their own for the past 36 years.
That is, until they received a $1,542 fine for parking on their own property -- with the threat of a $250-per-day fee if they didn't get the car off their carpad.
The Craines told ABC-affiliate KGO-TV that the San Francisco Planning Department is enforcing a decades-old section of code that bans motor vehicles of all kinds from being parked on a carpad or setback in front of a house unless it's accompanied by a garage or cover.
The Craines believe the space has been used for parking since the house was built in 1910. So the planning department told the couple that the city would waive the fine if they could prove that the lot has historically been used for parking.
Then, after a lot of Googling, they found a blurry aerial photo from 1938 that shows a car -- or a possibly a horse-and-buggy -- pulling into the driveway of the home. But the planning department said the photo was not clear evidence.
Planning Chief Dan Sider told KGO that the code was enacted decades ago for aesthetic reasons, and that no exceptions can be made.
The planning department was alerted to the Craines' use of their driveway by an anonymous complaint that was lodged against the Craines and two of their neighbors, who were also tagged with the same violation.
In the end, the city closed the case against the Craines and threw out the fines after the couple agreed to no longer use the carpad, according to KGO.
City officials told the Craines that the couple can build a cover for the carpad, or a garage, if they want to continue to park there.

just put a couple poles with a tarp over it
if they want to play "aesthetics" choke them with that rope

i would think the space would be better suited for human feces and discarded needles myself

How many thousands will that cost for “planning approval”?

Welcome to homosexual communism…

$50,000 minimum. If an addict wants to shit and shoot up in the parking space in the meantime that's fine though

Their fault for remaining in that literal shithole.

>the code was enacted decades ago for aesthetic reasons
Yeah, San Francisco would look like a pile of human shit if people parked cars in front of houses.
