   this 91 year-old San Francisco driver wants pedestrians, bicycles, public transportation, AVs, and any paint that is not white or yellow off of his San Francisco streets. Letters: S.F. streets are for drivers and cars. Why everyone else needs to get out of the way

     @lmc I can’t tell if this is real or satire? like legitimately can’t tell.

     @eniatitova I googled and there is definitely a guy with that name and age living in Golden Gate Heights!

     @lmc @eniatitova Yup. He got married the first day it was legal, and his photo appeared in the Chronicle for it.

     @luis_in_brief @kingrat @eniatitova I think the city should put all the tax receipts they receive into one account and then hold daily public meetings all year round so we can all tell them where we want our tax dollars spent.

     @kingrat @lmc @eniatitova toxic car culture: not just for the midwestern straights!

     @eniatitova @lmc I don't think it would go well. (I've been reading up on the psychology of changing minds, and I wouldn't attempt those conversations without training...)

     @lmc oh I believe he’s a real guy but I can’t tell if his opinions are sincerely expressed or a way to highlight the insanity of the pro-car lobby? Given he’s 91 and living in Golden Gate Heights probably sincere? But still can’t tell. Think I should knock on his door? We’re neighbors technically.

     @kingrat @lmc you are correct that I don't possess the requisite training to change anyone's mind. I'm a litigator: I'm only good at defending my position staunchly in front of a "neutral" arbiter which is no way to get to a solution that works for everyone.
