There's a lot of stupid in the world, but here's some more.
For those of you not in San Francisco: we have an old freeway running right past the ocean. It is falling into the ocean, and for decades had been closed like 20% of the time as backhoes regularly had to be deployed to haul sand dunes off the freeway.
So eventually sane minds at SFMTA said, "Well this fucking sucks, let's just close it and make it a park" and the voters overwhelmingly said yes.
People love it, merchants love it.
But it turns out that there are so many car-brains in the Sunset District ("The Staten Island of SF") that they will literally burn the world to the ground if it makes them have to drive 2 blocks out of the way. Like they have recalled their supervisor over this, filed multiple specious lawsuits, and constantly vandalize the artwork in the new park. Oh, and after that recall, our car-brain millionaire Mayor Danny Bluejeans spectacularly stepped on his own dick, which was just... *chef kiss*.
Anyway,
Judge tosses lawsuit claiming Great Highway closure was illegal:
A San Francisco judge denied all arguments in a lawsuit that sought to undo Prop. K and return cars back to the coastal road. The voter-approved ballot measure to turn the Upper Great Highway into a park remains intact.
Previously, previously, previously, previously, previously, previously, previously.
