That part of Lombard street has been closed before.

Ah, San Francisco, the city I detest. Every time I had to go there the very first thing I wanted to do was leave.

Clever, funny article, thanks for posting.

Reminds me of my 10 years in that city — I started turning up my nose at tourists who arrived in summer clothes in June. How gauche. WE didn’t wear shorts and, heaven forbid, WHITE shoes.

Actually, it was too COLD and DAMP for shorts of any color.

Actually, I’m pretty impressed that a communist city like San Francisco would have a higher regard for property owners and local taxpayers than they would for gawkers.

Methinks advocates knew how self-important they appear when complaining about tourists clogging up their curvy curbsides, so they dressed up their self-serving request to keep other people's cars off Lombard Street as a concern for others. The MTA also is considering gating the public street so only residents can use it. For safety reasons.

And I just watched this Milton Friedman interview yesterday. It is related.

Do Gooders Who Do Harm.

I wonder what would happen if we rebranded illegals as “tourists”...
