>covid happens>city closes highway and makes it car free>covid ends>city opens highway to cars just for weekdays>2024 election voters vote 55% in favor of turning it permanently into a park>car brains get mad>2 years later car brains put up ballot that undoes it>support for the park has only increasedAnyone else excited for the fallout?
Before as highway and after as a park
>>2084328so it's like a boardwalk now
>>2084328San Francisco should have been a second Manhattan, damnit.
>>2084328What happened to all the grass.
>>2084328why did they remove all that nice marshy beach grass? muh endangered insect species and fun stomping around in muh gummies
>>2084449>>2084455It's not grass, it's an invasive species called Carpobrotus edulis.
>>2084464>native to south africathat's BASED though.
>>2084327The people who lived in the area recalled the commissioner who decided to close it. Putting up to a vote city-wide is retarded, it would be like "we want to put x miles of bike path in the city" and having far-flung suburban voters block it.
>>2084519No, that's completely false. 1. The commissioner put it up for a city wide vote. He didn't decide himself. They recalled him because he supported the change.2. It's managed by SF Rec and Park, which is a city wide department. It's paid for by the whole city. The whole city gets a vote.
>>2084328I don't get the attraction. There are no shops or other amenities along that route that I'd like to visit. It's nothing like the Atlantic City Boardwalk.I suppose if you are trying to emulate the ambience of the Bataan Death March, you couldn't get much better.
