Okay so, you know how we're always talking about parking in the City? Like, finding a spot feels like winning the lottery on a Tuesday night. Well, SFMTA is cracking down hard on sidewalk parking, and it's getting real, fam.

### Cops and Sidewalk Parking

The SFMTA announced Wednesday, April 15, that they’re specifically targeting sidewalk parking violations. And get this: in the Bayview, it’s coming with police involvement. Not just a ticket, but actual cops. This isn't just about keeping the sidewalks clear; it feels like another layer of enforcement in neighborhoods that already see a lot of it. For anyone who’s ever tried to navigate a stroller or a wheelchair down a crowded sidewalk in the Outer Richmond, you get it. But bringing in the police? That’s a whole other vibe.

* **Who:** SFMTA

* **What:** Cracking down on sidewalk parking, with police assistance in Bayview.

* **When:** Announced April 15, 2026.

* **Where:** City-wide, with a specific focus on Bayview for police involvement.

And then there's this other nugget that just dropped:

### Big Money for District 2

Turns out, the co-founder of MAGA WhatsApp just dropped a quarter-mil — $250,000 to be exact — into a PAC supporting Lurie. This came out Tuesday, April 14. We're talking District 2 here, which covers hella prime real estate from Pacific Heights to the Marina. You gotta wonder what kind of influence that kind of money buys, especially when we’re talking about school assignments for SFUSD students, which is what the District 2 candidates were just discussing. That's the City, fam — fog, hills, and all.

We'll see how these new parking enforcement measures roll out and if that $250K starts swinging votes in District 2.
