also the sticker program is dumb anyways, at least in the bay area, because you can drive in the carpool lane in an suv as a single driver forever and ever and never get ticketed, highway patrol basically does not exist here. and if you're even slightly worried, get some tinted windows like everyone else

badum dish saved you $30k on a new car

tinted windows are for "those people" and given that a majority of people do follow rules if they recognize them strongly enough, the premium payment is enough for their conscience

i mean theres like an estimated "only" 40% violation rate on the bay bridge in the early morning when the cameras can't be used

i did spend a long period of time behind a single-occupant BMW once :thumbsup:

it almost literally is that; my ex "had" to go to one when she twisted her ankle in a hidden animal burrow in some median area of a company parking lot

go to the place, lobby full of people that pretty obviously work in fabrication and construction and the like

they start the whole "care" process off with a nice battery of questions about what exactly happened and drug use and drug tests, etc, very obviously building a case for the employer if you decide to feel litigant in the future

i think people get suckered into it because it feels like you have to go, though i'm pretty sure your employer can't make you go there, and the possibility of free/cheap treatment

BART posted:

BART is teaming up with the City of San Francisco and the San Francisco Police Department on a new joint plan to improve public health and safety conditions at Civic Center Station.

The comprehensive action plan will increase the number of officers patrolling the station as well as closely align existing health strategies.

“These beefed up patrols build on the strong relationship that has already been established between BART and the City of San Francisco,” said BART General Manager Grace Crunican. “Our latest budget reflects our commitment to safety by providing $1.6 million to fund Homeless Outreach Teams, elevator attendants, and other quality of life initiatives at our downtown San Francisco stations.”

Under the plan, SFPD will dedicate an extra 290 officer hours a week to patrol the Civic Center Station area, a more than fourfold increase from existing levels. BART will increase its patrol staffing levels by 78 hours a week. That’s an increase of 30%

“Since taking the lead of the BART Police Department a year ago, I have made boosting the visible presence of our officers a top priority,” said BART Police Chief Carlos Rojas. “We think the ongoing efforts of our officers combined with this boost from the San Francisco Police Department will make a big impact on public safety that will be noticed by our riders.”

In addition to the enforcement component, a new syringe disposal kiosk has been installed at the United Nations Plaza near the entrance to the Civic Center Station.

BART and other partners will coordinate services through the City’s Healthy Streets Operation Center, a multiagency initiative to address homelessness and street behavior issues in San Francisco. The partners will work collaboratively to ensure residents experiencing homelessness, including those suffering from mental illness and substance use issues, receive the health and social services and support required for their recovery.

"Without actively engaging city services, we can't make Civic Center Station what it should be," said BART Director Bevan Dufty, who represents San Francisco on the BART Board. "We will continue to work together on housing, treatment, and care."

by the way the sfpd is famous for not doing required patrols

the supervisors and voters have both passed laws requiring them to do foot patrols and community policing and they just don't bother

if you see a sfpd officer outside of their vehicle they're either waiting for coffeee/food, arresting someone or there's a special event going on

i get to drive in them with the babby in the car because that counts as a carpool for the state's dumbass 2-person rule

honestly i'm surprised that there isn't a push to count dogs as passengers

Some people at work got really confused when I suggested that babies shouldn't count for carpools. I was suggesting "two occupants" be redefined to mean not babies. They thought I was suggesting to redefine babies to not human, therefore not occupants. It was odd.

'and if you get a little snacky...' he placed a bottle of yoohoo and a handful of old batteries on the armoire. i swore his teeeth rearranged themselves in his mouth. 'anyway see you in the poooooooooooooooooool' he said as he grabbed the 1920's full coverage striped bathing suit and hair net from a cabinet near the door.
