National Cathedral to offer tours of underground garage

People are too lazy not to park a little further away and walk??? For crying out loud what about people with medical problems? How obtuse

My wife is disabled and we do drive a van but not wheel chair adapted. Only a fraction of hadicap people have these vans and if not allowed to park in van accessable sites we would have to pass these spaces and walk a great distance. The spaces would be empty if not allowed by car and non adapted vans

More things in in the United States need to be free, like medical care and housing, along with public transportation and parking. How to pay for it all, just ramp up our production and tax the wealthy down to a level thats sensible a income and relaunch the tax money in impact areas like education and research. The people can do it, but not with the team we have now in place, like people in charge like Nancy Polosi and her friends, these people and their ideas are the problem.

what ever happened to free parking?

What are the Burlingame citizens complaining about? Parking lot on Park ave. $1.00 for 10 hours...come to SF.......

Come to San Francisco. Most of the meters have a time limit displayed behind scratched plastic you can't read. Guaranteed city govt here wont fix it. Not a major problem to spend city dollars on...unless of course you can't read the time limit display and get a ticket. Oh well. They don't care so why should I. I NEVER shop in San Francisco. Parking Parking Parking. I do ALL my shopping out of San Francisco. I shop at Kmart and eat at Apple Bees in Redwood City every weekend. Try it. You'll like it. Friendlier workers, no parking issues, better prices, no crowd rush, and yes the wonderful smart parking meters. Gotta love it. "Anywhere But San Francisco"

I love your writing style.

GREAT JOB KEEP up the awesome work

On two separate occassions the meters did not work. The first time it took my money and did not deliver a receipt. The second time it took some of my money, spit out some and did not register some, but kept it. On the first occassion the authority said they would refund my money, but it has been over a month and I have received nothing. I'm waiting for a response to the second incident but not holding my breath

"This is classic SF Progressive oppression of the poor. By not requiring below market rate units to provide parking, it makes life harder for the poor living there to have the same convenience regarding their cars as everyone else expects." WRONG--this measure will reduce the cost of apartments by $50,000-$80,000. That's a big chunk of change, especially for the poor, and above all for those who can't afford cars in the first place. Why should the government FORCE you to buy a parking space when you don't want one? All this rule is give you FREEDOM OF CHOICE.

Right on Tom, poor people don't drive so why not take away their parking. You progressives give me the creeps. The minimum is ONE parking space for every FOUR units of housing and you want to take that away. Tom, you and Peskin need to Get A LIFE! I bet that Mr. Peskin has at least 2 parking spaces in his million dollar condo in Nothe Beach. Leave us alone!!!

This is classic SF Progressive oppression of the poor. By not requiring below market rate units to provide parking, it makes life harder for the poor living there to have the same convenience regarding their cars as everyone else expects. It makes a hard life still harder. Sad.

I have been in Baltimore for the last 5 years. I have a disability, because of which my lower limbs are paralyzed. Recently, I have found a spurt in disability tags for parking in the last couple of years. I surveyed 7 vehicles on Redwood street, and found five had disabled tag!!! I have found that some young people in early 20s park their vehicle and walk 5 blocks without any trouble, and I on a wheelchair is unable to get a parking place. Sometimes it has been frustrating. The cops cannot do anything, as long as these disability tags certified indiscriminately by family physicians. Unfortunately, carrying a "illegal" disabled tags no longer is a social stigma. It has become as acceptable as illegal license. I hope, this letter brings some sense of morality and social responsibility to those people using disabled tags. They should understand the hardship they are causing to the disabled community. Regards, Jeremy

Does this mean they will stop ticketing legally parked cars? I've got 2 tickets in the last year while parked legally.

DAMN IT!

Ticket fines in Baltimore are absurd....so, don't pay them. Request and officer when you go to court for your ticket+fines and if he/she doesn't show (they rarely, if ever will) you only have to pay the fine + court costs....goodbye $800 fine on $21 ticket.
