SFMTA Relents on Parking

Parking is Such Sweet Sorrow

When it comes to the SFMTA’s plans for meters in the neighborhood, I have to admit that I don’t have a dog in this fight. When my fiancée and I took up residence here this spring, we chose it for its proximity to her work and the Caltrain stop. She walks two blocks to the […]

Did they remind you that we live within shouting distance of a working seaport and one of the largest estuaries in the world? In case you somehow […]
