I just returned home from out of town. I went to park my car and in front of my garage, I found a man standing, full of drugs and alcohol, swaying. He's so inebriated he can't stand straight. He is groaning and moaning at me while I park my car. I am actually glad I let my wife out before I went to park.

Urge Mayor Newsom
to Fund Transit Services
The SFMTA Board is considering service cuts that would affect every bus and light rail line, creating longer wait times, crowded vehicles, and less incentive to take public transit. We need to let Mayor Newsom and the SFMTA Board know that we want MUNI services funded, and we'd prefer extending the hours of parking meters as opposed to MUNI service cuts. The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition (SFBC) has an online form that makes writing the Mayor and SFMTA Board simple. Email to save MUNI today!
