A subway under SF’s Chinatown?
Won’t they have problems with Lo Pan? Not to mention the “black blood of the earth”?

PS: a “congenial disease“?
Is that anything like “assault with a friendly weapon”?

This is why I’ve given up the dream of ever owning the car I have wanted for a very long time.
By the time I will be able to buy one, it will be illegal to own a car, or, at best, the roads will be in such shitty condition that I won’t be able to drive it.

Using my MBA knowledge of the
Laffer CurveLaughter Curve, I calculate that Friso can purchase 1000 rickshaws for $3000 dollars, reduce unemployment to zilch AND hire the defacating bums to (cough)run(cough) the rickshaws on all the downhill segments. Like the Pony Express, they could swap the rickshaw power sources with “Stanford U. Freshman” for the uphill portions and the city would pay their *student loans* off with a 30 year Bond issue, purchaseable only by residents of Marin County and addresses along Haight-Ashbury. AND, we know the bond buyers would *fucking leap* at the opportunity to accept the bond risks, just knowing that San Francisco was doing its part to reduce teh “deadly CO2 margin” that the ENTIRE FUCKING STATE OF CALIFORNIA is doing for the ENTIRE FUCKING PLANET EARTH and certain to please MoonBeam Brown!!!!!!{…I see: WIN, WIN, WIN here, Dudes…..}

By the time they walk down 95′ and back up, they may as well walk the the half mile. That should take about 7-10 minutes fer petesake. What is the matter with these assholes?
All they’ll use that fucking hole in the ground for is shooting dope and grabbing strange peters in the restrooms. Oh, yeah, and boondoggle payoffs to local contractors and unions in return for votes. I wish that shithole would fall into the sea and get it over with, esp. if Lucretia Pelosi is home.

Not unusual at all. In fact, where do you think there was the least damage in the most recent earthquakes?
In SoCal, the Red Line subway opened one year before the Northridge quake and there was no significant damage. All the damage was above ground.
Tokyo has subways.

dick, nqdwg, now that the son, d-i-l and grandson are in Oakland, you’re perfectly welcome to have your wish come true.

“[The Wall Street Journal:] The subway is a case study in government incompetence and wasted taxpayer money.”
Government incompetence? But they repeat themselves.
COL Jerry: You’re real close to a great solution. Follow China’s lead: they have the cleanest streets on the planet. This is because they have billions of people and millions of jobs. So they have millions of people sweeping streets.
Frisco has large numbers of people with lots of time on their hands. They cold provide useful services, like street-sweeping, pulling ricksaws, &c.

Bloated, dead eyed politician asking for another “…just a little bit more. It won’t hurt.”
I’m about ready to barf.

I remember seeing a program on PBS about 20 years ago, about public transportation. A woman relayed a tale about being on a SF city bus one day when a Filopene (I know, sp) woman got on the bus with a live chicken under her arm, and the bus driver told her that live animals weren’t allowed on the bus. So she wrung its neck on the spot and then went and took her seat.

The egyptians used to build their pyramids and other monuments of ego above ground. But I forget, this is san fran freakshow where up is down, right is wrong and, well, you get the idea. . .
