Also, (I think this is non-partisan, so) I'm glad that measure I didn't pass. It wasn't directly spelled out in the measure itself, but reopening and keeping open great highway south of sloat would require a big-ass sea wall, which just couldn't be a good thing for the beach.
I'd have to disagree. That part of the great has been fixed a bunch over the decades, and closing it to cars won't stop the erosion. Using that as an excuse to keep the Great from Lincoln to Sloat closed, even on weekends, is a burden to folks who live in the outer sunset and people who use it to commute.
80mil? Hell the city spends ten times that on the homeless every year. When I was a kid we rode bikes everywhere-to GGP and through the Presidio into Marin. All over Fort Funsten, lake merced, etc. We stayed out of the way of cars. Now bike riders expect the cars to stay out of their way, and SFMTA is down with it. Backasswards to me.
I don't live in the city but do use the great to get home to Pacifica. If those bike nazis try to block me when the highway is supposed to be open, it will take a lot of will power not to put it in 4wheel drive and just go. I'm glad it hasn't happened. It's frustrating enough dealing with the anti car BS in SF as it is, without facing felony manslaughter.
