Even during pandemic, too many city departments are overly focused on enforcing fines, fees & strict rules than helping small businesses & residents survive. We need to shift mandate, mindset & culture of city departments from erecting barriers & punishment to services & support.

The irony of getting parking tickets for street cleaning when people do/deal illegal drugs, expose themselves and take shits on public sidewalks. Oh & get let out of jail to kill innocent pedestrians too of course

Ummmmm...this is hella classist. Rich people with cars should not have to pay fines while poor people without access to a restroom should? I would the the inverse would be fairer.

Trust me when I say small businesses pay A LOTTTT in fees and taxes for the privilege to operate in SF. That does not make us “wealthy”. It feels like discrimination that laws and fines apply to tax paying, contributing members of society and not criminals.

I am a small business owner in SF and pay the same taxes. The origin of this thread was the opinion that breaking parking laws is less bad than pooping on the street. This has nothing to do business owners.

No that was not the opinion, the opinion was that being held accountable for laws, fines, tickets only happens for some people, those who are law abiding. Its frustrating to get a street cleaning ticket when there’s poop on the sidewalk. That’s undeniable.
