A good thing. People with good paying jobs, choosing to live in Noe Valley is also a good thing. It would be wonderful if those good paying jobs were 3 blocks from where people live, but since that isn't the case, shuttle buses provide a service to those who ride them as well as the rest of us who care about the environment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008050911800805999.post-47403069301406550732011-06-03T01:32:30.065-07:002011-06-03T01:32:30.065-07:00This map is from 2009 but it shows less than half ...This map is from 2009 but it shows less than half of the neighborhood is permitted.<br /><br />http://www.sfmta.com/cms/pperm/13442.htmlcrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008050911800805999.post-80806921027354675542011-06-02T14:32:30.825-07:002011-06-02T14:32:30.825-07:00"Because there are so few parking permits in ..."Because there are so few parking permits in Noe Valley,a great number of Apple, Google, LinkedIn, and others park here to catch their shuttles.

Of course the Google employee is paying people who "live and work here" hundreds of thousands of dollars to remodel his house, assuming he can get past the hurdles that his jealous neighbors throw at him in the permitting process. During the day the spouse keeps Small Fry's and Peek-a-boutique in business. Then he or she comes home and goes out with spouse and kids throw down $120 at Lupa for dinner.<br /><br />The majority of consumptive spending is not done while you are at work.
