Car brainiacs of San Francisco
At the same time, I have no sympathy for politicians who encouraged recalls as a way of life instead of an exceptional tool, so they can suck it up
@skinnylatte sometimes it feels like no city does local cranks quite like SF
@ekuber they are also, broadly, the reason we don't have housing (NIMBYs)
@skinnylatte Very peculiar 'legal reasons' to sue.
When the local gov't judges it's "no longer needed for vehicular traffic," the town can close roads. Plaintiffs say the city violated rules, creating a "partial" closure: Prop. K "explicitly OKs transit, emergency, official gov't, & other auth'd vehicles to use the road." The exemptions, "directly contradict the voters’ finding … that the road's 'no longer needed for vehicular traffic."
Cali may have too many rules if this is an attack vector.
@skinnylatte there was a recent article about (yet another) recall attempt against Newsom, which noted he got 61.5% in the ‘18 general and 61.4% in the ‘22 recall; the whole boondoggle convinced basically no-one.
