It drives me insane too, but I'm not sure what you're expecting to hear.

  • "I'd rather endanger than be in danger."
  • "I'm not driving a car right now and only cars go in streets."
  • "I don't trust drivers here... or anywhere."
  • "That's what my friends and neighbors do. I honestly don't think about it much."
  • "Of all the laws broken in this town today, who would bother to enforce this one?"
  • "I'm paying by the mile, and it'd add $$ to my trip if I threaded it through what bike infrastructure we have here."

I went back to Little Havana last month for the first time in maybe 10 or 12 years and it was absurdly bad. In the 00's it was a passable brunch/day-drinking spot for twenty-somethings, but today its Cuban sandwich is complete garbage. Don't waste time there, OP.

It's one person. Other taggers probably know who they are, and this sort of conversation is exactly the kind of recognition that motivates them.

This sub (and reddit in general) isn't a place you usually find practical conversation about how programs can impact single-property private landlords trying to comply or 'do the right thing.' I like this comment because it places the onus where it belongs instead of just reflexively making fangs at OP for being a LL.

It might have started or spiked there, but I'd be surprised if abuse didn't account for at least half of the paper tags on the road at the moment. Regardless, if you see paper tags (especially expired ones) it's safest to assume the driver is uninsured.

Don't try to make sense of it. People want to believe that the effort they expend digging a car out so they can drive it somewhere means they now own that patch of road 'round the clock. "I did a hard thing for myself so now fuck any neighbor or visitor who isn't me!" as local custom.

That's a pretty good example, well laid out. I don't know a thing about the MV nightlife scene as of the mid 00's, but it used to be you could bounce from spot to spot more or less at an amble from Dionysus & BA to stable to pint size all the way down to midtown in the dead of winter without getting cold.. seems like more of a non-starter today.
