Description

Unless you live or work in the tenderloin, the parking permit office at 1 South Van Ness Ave. is at an incredibly inconvenient location. There's probably nowhere else in the city that's harder to drive around in or park than than there.

This is especially true for the 3/4 of the city residents who live west of City Hall.

Why not open some satellite offices?

DMV on the Panhandle would be one obvious place. There are probably others.

Doing this would probably raise city permit revenues too.

And it would help shift the city away from the predatory posture inherent in living on parking tickets.
