Nobody said those aren't a problem. Is SF only allowed to work on one problem at a time?

No but with limited resources what they prioritize is telling. Scooters should be near the bottom the list, not the top.

> and there is $250,000 in the current fiscal year’s budget to fund the effort.

Uhm

SF spends 2 orders of magnitude more on homeless and housing annually

Feel free to check I dont mind being wrong, the actual point is that this whole article and thread is about a new office on a $250,000 budget and people think this materially effects the city’s resources at all

This actually makes this announcement even worse. A $250k budget is an utter joke, so it begs the question if this was all done as a troll move toward the entire startup ecosystem in SF to get everyone riled up.

One form of obstructionism that has been used by Peskin is to require a new or expanded type of permit and then decline to fund the permitting agency, so it doesn't have the resources to issue any permits.

No, but it seems like SF has made the choice to ignore one and restict the other, and most residents would probably prefer the opposite.
