   Sad to learn (via Wikipedia watchlist of course) that Donald Shoup https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Shoup died a couple days ago. I never read _The High Cost of Free Parking_ cover to cover but it comes up in my thoughts frequently and I occasionally make reference to it. Shoup pointed out one of the many ways our world could be far better and was himself a Shoupista, relentlessly working to make it so til the end. Personal site https://www.shoupdogg.com/

     If unfamiliar with the issue https://www.worksinprogress.news/p/the-prophet-of-parking is a decent overview.

     It notes SF Park, and I'll note that expansion has been resisted by yokels who should be banished to the wildlands. But, that may be changing https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/money-crunch-push-sf-transit-major-parking-change-20113851.php do it now!
