I think it's great that people want to solve problems, but this isn't actually solving the problem. It's shifting the problem from rich people to poor people.

In contrast, there are plenty of startups that are actually making the parking problem better. City CarShare and ZipCar are reducing the number of cars in the city by having cars available on demand. GetAround and RelayRides are upping the number of drivers per car. Uber and Lyft (and taxis and transit) let you get somewhere without having to park at all. Parking Panda and Park Circa are turning unused private parking spaces into publicly available inventory. Even Amazon is helping: part of what makes happy to do without a car is the fact that they will make almost anything I want show up in a couple of days.

Yeah. The real solution to parking in SF is to have fewer people driving, which would involve improving the public transit options.

Always struck me as off is SF that has a trolly buss system why they didn't extend that with trams for longer distance commutes.

Or did NIBY residents stop any such developments.
