No on measure H. Loopholes You Can Drive a Hummer Through

The Loopholes

Watch out for Measure H.  The Examiner calls it “a veritable minefield of unintended consequences.” Brought to the ballot without a single public hearing, its sixty-one pages of fine print are full of loopholes that help downtown developers and out of town commuters—but not us.

Loopholes for gas-guzzling SUV’s
Prop H provides unlimited parking for what it calls “low emission vehicles.” Hybrids and bio-diesel, you think? Not a chance. “Low-emission,” according to this law, includes HUMMERS, Cadillac Escalades, Ford Expeditions and Range Rovers—none of which get even 20 mpg.

Backed by big developers & Republicans
This measure was placed on the ballot by big developers, downtown interests and conservative Republicans. It triples the parking allowed for downtown luxury condos and huge office towers.  It benefits out-of-town commuters, not San Franciscans.

A bad deal for neighborhoods
This measure reduces on-street parking in neighborhoods, takes away neighborhood control, and allows big apartment owners the absolute right to eliminate bus shelters, pedestrian walkways and street trees without the input of neighbors.

More traffic and pollution 
The San Francisco Planning Department estimates that Measure H will put 20,000 new vehicles on San Francisco streets. That means more traffic, more air pollution, and the problems 
associated with both—more danger for pedestrians, childasthma, and global warming.
