So the Board of Stupid-visors of San Francisco unanimously approved the plan to revoke upscale department store BARNEY'S NEW YORK permission for partial use of public space in their basement area (the basement area in question will become part of a new subway station, when completed). Seems SF is ready to begin work on the 1.5 mile central subway system, which will run from China Basin to Chinatown for the bargain-basement price (no pun intended) of . . .1.6 Billion Dollars. Yes, that is not a typo, 1.6 BILLION, with a "B."
Rather than spend that wad of greenback on a more useful transit project (oh, like the Geary St. Subway, that could have run all the way to the beach from downtown, thus clearing the Geary Street/Boulevard corridor of traffic AND dirty air), those in charge decided a 1.5 mile subway system that offers limited service to a small segment of MUNI riders was the better choice.
Idiots.
