San Francisco voters will get to decide on November 3, 2026
All those visitors enjoying the park and basically one guy with a $5 website to make it ‘controversial.’ Advertising has ruined the news.
When I read the word ‘park’ I expected more greenery.
So far, it just looks like an abandoned stretch of road but then it seems they only closed it last year.
Hope they can keep it and get some vegetation out there.The abandoned stretch of road is kinda the appeal. It’s like a boardwalk—previously there was a small pedestrian path parallel to the highway but I never used it because it was bumpy (impossible to skate, uncomfortable to bike on), and drivers sped down the highway which is also unpleasant to be around
“beach” and “highway” two words i’ve never seen together, but here we are…
The Wikipedia Page about the park “Sunset Dunes”
Apparently it was the biggest pedestrianisation project in California history. Would be a real shame if that ballot initiative destroys the park
Video shows people walking, biking and overall having fun outside
The headline: CONTROVERSIAL PARK
Well the people that don’t like it being a park aren’t there; they’re sitting at home angrily posting on Facebook that they can’t drive on the road anymore
Drivers are short sighted morons that should not be listened to. They’d pave everything and then whine about traffic.
Just one more lane bro I swear, just one more lane will fix all our traffic problems, please bro
and about lack of parking spots (free)
They have paved everything and whine about everything. Morons.
“There’s going to be more development here. There’s going to be more density here. Our public transit is not keeping up, yet we are losing roads.”
Soooo… Put that 14mil you want to spend into transit.
a slow beach tram would sound lovely.
Drivers are always angry because driving sucks
The moment they stop driving they are still angry because parking sucks too
The city should destroy patches of the pavement and replace them with mini parks with furniture and other accomodations to stop at the start any initiative to turn that again to space for cars
Just wanted to say: great username.
What exactly does the ballot do? It sounds like the people have already spoken
I find it interesting that the locals don’t want it this time around.
Looks so cold there. It’s 102 in the Midwest. It’s only 97 in Phoenix.
September is the hottest month of the year in San Francisco, so it should start warming up soon.
“Only”? 97°C is burning!
are they swimming in a geothermal pool.
For Phoenix that is quite cool.
“The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco” - definitely Mark Twain
Pacific current off the coast keeps it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Who knows how long it will last now though.
Be hilarious for the next couple of years as the unprecedented super el niño (super is +2°C surface temp, current measurement is +6°C) causes previously unseen levels of air pressure and current fuckery. 😁
I know I’ve been saying “this weather is abnormal” for years but the Bay Area weather lately is so completely different than normal that I’m kind of reeling. Not that it’s unexpected or anything, just super surreal and sad.
