		<description><![CDATA[This twist is due to the fact that some citizens were using their (rare) garage space to start up new businesses, even retailing from their garage. If you knew what the businesses were paying in property taxes you&#039;d understand their screaming. Further, garages were not assessed property taxation (per sq foot) even up to &#039;living space&#039; rates. 

Then, throw in  some embarrassing fires in the Mission District. (Chronic -- going back a full century.) This regulation proved handy to get the bums out of SF -- and to gentrify the Mission. (District) Now that the micro-firms are gone, it&#039;s safe to use bikes again.

BTW, for Americans elsewhere, SF is DRASTICALLY under-garaged. Major sections of the city were built before the automobile -- and on rock or tough ground. (One notable location was, and is, an ex-quarry!)
So, during the housing boom, the BIG thing in SF was jacking up the Victorian to install a squeeze-fit custom garage underneath.
Lastly, no-one uses a bike in old SF. It&#039;s strictly a Mission District and such thing. Classic SF is as steep as down-town Seattle. Brutal.


And, for your historical amusement: Prohibition Era speakeasies were commonly &#039;underbuilt&#039; when the new-fangled garages were errected. These would be &#039;retail&#039; speaks that catered only to the locals -- so as to not raise attention. A garage &#039;cap&#039; was used because of its low loading -- and because the entire affair could be pulled off without a building inspection. (No water, no power, no-one sleeping, no hearth,... such out-buildings get away with murder even now.)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bikes were invented before cars.  If a person wasn&#039;t walking riding a horse. traveling in a train carriage or trolley, I assume that some of them were riding a bike to work or around town.  I assume they kept the bike out of the elements when not in use in a shed or a garage.   Those are just assumptions I am making and maybe I am stupid and (x)or the San Francisco city council is the brain trust of the world.]]></description>
