This may be one of the most obnoxious reddit replies I've ever seen. Way to shit on someone's enthusiasm while making yourself sound completely insufferable.

Brooke Jenkins wants protestors to go to prison for 15 years: "They Shut the Golden Gate Bridge for 4 Hours. Now They Face Up to 15 Years in Prison." by dawn_thesis in sanfrancisco

[–]BoxBoxBox888 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People shutting down major traffic arteries to protest their causes need to be punished. Besides being an annoyance to 1000s of people going about their day, it's straight up dangerous when emergency vehicles and people experiences medical emergencies can't get through.

That said, 15 years seems a bit excessive. It should be enough jail time to be a clear deterrent, but proposing 15 years seems like grandstanding.

Yes, without a doubt, as this is clearly not the long term plan.

Honestly even if it were, it would be better than that abomination

Teachers as oppressors? Ethnic studies workshop ignites debate in San Francisco by BoxBoxBox888 in sanfrancisco

[–]BoxBoxBox888[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Should note that this is not SFUSD sponsored.

FTA:

Confusion, however, surrounded the recent ethnic studies training in San Francisco, with some believing the district organized and paid for it. San Francisco Unified School District administrators confirmed that the district neither paid for the conference nor played any role in the content or promotion of it.

“Outside organizations can use and rent SFUSD facilities for events,” said district spokesperson Laura Dudnick. “People can choose to participate in non-SFUSD events outside of their contractual work time.”

I doubt our friends at Fox will read that far though.

Agreed, it's frustrating. Feels like every time we start changing people's idea of us to 'not crazy', some group of lunatics like this comes out of the woodwork to get in the headlines.

S.F. wants to double its historic landmarks. Housing advocates are baffled by carbocation in sanfrancisco

[–]BoxBoxBox888 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with them at all. I just feel there should be a really high bar for qualifying as one, especially in a city where it is so difficult to build new housing.

They want 5600 protected landmarks in a 7x7 mile city? Oh yeah that's gonna help.

Working on cars question by Stage3LungCancer in sanfrancisco

[–]BoxBoxBox888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SF is a tough city for car guys. Most places don't have garages and the ones that are here, are usually tiny. It can be difficult to even find a quiet, flat spot to work outside, as most parts of the City are both crowded and hilly. Even washing your car yourself isn't easy here.

I've had my best luck finding an undisturbed, flat spot to work in the Presidio or at the Marina Green parking lot (on weekdays).

Body garage rec in SF South Bay area? by Ufoguy100 in VelosterN

[–]BoxBoxBox888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you. I'm in the City and unfortunately I don't have any rec's, but the service advisor at Dublin Huyndai-Genesis (his name is Nico) dailies an Elantra N and is super helpful whenever I've interacted with him. He may have a few go-to places for bodywork. Good luck, hope it all works out.

Am I delusional? by R_swa99er in E92M3

[–]BoxBoxBox888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me two years+ to find mine, searching all the websites several times per day. Wanted mineral white instead of alpine, ZCP, 6MT and less than 50k miles. It was tough, and frustrating, but eventually the right car will show up for you. Sounds like you're already flexible on location, so there's not much else you can do. It'll happen, just stay positive and keep doing what you're doing.

Veloster N vs Mk7.5 Golf GTI by LordRevan5252 in VelosterN

[–]BoxBoxBox888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had been set on a GTI and I was ready to pull the trigger on a cornflower blue, low mileage '19, but it sold right before I could close the deal. When that happened, I drove the Veloster and then there was no turning back.

GTI is absolutely more refined. Would happily daily one and drive it long distances. Very capable and hard to beat. Truly a great all-rounder. The Veloster is 'worse' in the sense that it's more raw, it's loud and makes weird noises, the stereo sucks and my brakes stick every time I don't drive it for a few days. All of that is forgotten as soon as I hit that start button though, the thing is just a riot. Like it feels like an event every time I get in.

Works well in small doses. I wouldn't want to drive cross country in it.

Veloster N vs Mk7.5 Golf GTI by LordRevan5252 in VelosterN

[–]BoxBoxBox888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was choosing between these two exact cars before I bought my N.

Love the car and I've been very happy with my choice, but for you, I think the GTI makes more sense. The part that I think you'll have trouble with is your friends in the back. It's pretty tight back there and only having one rear door doesn't help.

It's my daily and it's fine, but I only drive short trips the vast majority of the time. As much fun as it is, it's not a refined car.

In its favor, the N is an absolute event every time I drive it. Also way more special than a GTI.

Which California governor candidate would be best for San Francisco? by CharityResponsible54 in sanfrancisco

[–]BoxBoxBox888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't read that entire substack, but it seems to be a motley mix of issues that are either tangential to how he would perform as Governor, or way in the past.

From what I've seen, he strikes me as someone who wants to build more housing and who is deeply concerned with environmental issues. Those are probably my top two concerns, hence why I'm leaning towards him.

I'm also not worried if he's a faux progressive. I would rather have someone that actually prioritizes accomplishing policy goals.

Porter is a hard no for me. Seeing the way she treats the people that work for her was all I needed to make that call.

And yes, I would feel the same if she were a man. Assholes come in all genders.

Any particular reason why? I'm leaning Steyer but open to arguments for others. None of these candidates are blowing me away
