Yes, quite a learning experience.

Yes, quite a learning experience. You nailed the truth of it. The parking / “business” people in San Francisco are truly in control. While some businesses can challenge these engrained power brokers, it takes billions of dollars. Your experience, like many before you, will chip away at such things in future. But no one shares / releases power on good intentions or for the sake of innovation. It’s been a great journey and you deserve the acclaim of a job well done!
