Gotcha.  And that does not seem to comply with the City's ordinances...

I hear that in San Francisco there's a wheelchair-bound lawyer who earns a pretty good living suing over the sorts of things that are common in Houston.

That's not as easy as it used to be. Businesses in California can pay a "Certified ADA consultant" a few thousand dollars and make themselves immune from being sued for a handrail being 3/8 of an inch too high.

If there's any truth to that story, apparently those sorts of things must be pretty common in San Francisco!

Me and my friends go here from time to time on a busy weekend, usually find parking no more than 10 minutes. Its really not needed IMO

10 minutes is a long time to find parking.

If 10 minutes is a long time, they're better off just stay home 😂 most of the nightlife scene is like that especially in the urban areas of town. If you want 10 minute parking, your best bet is going somewhere in the suburbs of far out of the center.

Do you really think it's acceptable to spend as much time looking for parking as it takes to drive there?

That choice is literally on you. If you don't feel like its worth it, don't go? This concept applies everywhere, any mall, any shopping area, any dense area..... you need to look for parking. If you don't like the idea of sitting inside your AC'd vehicle for an extra few minutes to look for parking, don't go to that place, move, take a rideshare, bike there, the options are endless. HOWEVER, if you're not even from/live in the area, it doesn't give you or anyone who's outside of the area the right to demand/ expect parking. Parking, specifically parking lots, make affordability a problem as prime land is used for nothing but cars instead of housing/needs for the neighborhood. These parking lots also create heat islands and legit does nothing for the actual neighborhood.

The lot looks much better than what was there previously.  The added lighting is great.

Agreed! When I saw the trenches being dug for the conduit, my immediate thought was, "Not another parking lot." Also, with the number of bars located along St. Emmanuel within 5 blocks of this lot, driving should not be encouraged.
