Donald Trump plans to make massive cuts to spending after Congress decides on the #budget..taking a wrecking ball to our democracy, nothing is stopping him newrepublic.com/post/192733/tr

  7. PBOT sent an email letting area residents know that police may now, without notice, impound vehicles not displaying a VIN and which have no license plates.

    That the chosen conjunction is "and" tells the reader so much about abandoned vehicle removal in the Rose City:

    1) If you have no plates and cover the VIN so it cannot be seen through your windshield, it's going to get towed, and

    2) there are a LOT of abandoned vehicles with no VIN and no plates around here for this to get added to the city code in the Year of our Lord 2024.

    Note: Some of these are wherein
    members of our homeless community reside. Again, if it has no plates, do not cover the VIN!!

    Note 2: If we'd get the rabid right-wing politics out of humanity's obvious problems, they'd sure be a lot easier to solve.

    It would also be nice if the city and county agreed on approaches to solving the problem of capitalism ramping up its generation of homelessness, which this code change probably isn't going to help.

    Yes, I could get more cynical. Please don't tempt the tooter.

    The relevant city code:

  8. One #PotreroHill #SFMuni rider was surprised to discover her #pickuptruck stolen while she rode the bus to work, and even more baffled by a #city policy requiring all stolen #CarOwners to take time off work and be physically present at #TowYard while #SFPD #police officers #verify and process #Impound records for recovered #StolenVehicles. She had to spend two full days at the ever hospitable #CityTow yard before getting her own wheels back.
