As someone who grew up in the outer sunset where this is also a frequent occurrence, it's surprising to me how so many people engage in such anti social behavior and don't see a problem with it.

If $1300 per year in SFMTA tickets isn't enough to dissuade you, I can only hope that the violations are increased substantially. I wish we would follow the Nordic model of fines being scaled to income.

If they are treating it as a cost, an escalating fee schedule might be a good approach. 1x the first ticket, 2x for the second one within 12 months of the first, 4x for the next one within 12 months of the second.

Doesn't hit accidental offenders too hard, but hits the scofflaws pretty good.

You really think that's anti-social behaviour? It's a matter of practicality, my delicate flower.
