i live outside NYC i am well aware of how it is, which is exactly the reason i am leaving for someplace more reasonable, Id rather have land, and keep more of my own money to spend on myself then give it up to the state and pay insane rents.

sorry - link http://www.reuters.com/article...

so no, its not a dollar, its 3.55 PER stop. thats 3.55 cents for about 35-60 seconds of parking.

well then you should complain to the law makers and make it so that you can use it for stopping or picking up IF there is no bus currently using it, instead of complaining about someone who is paying for the right to use it

google is paying the city for the right to do so....

by doing so they are lowering emissions by taking cars off the road

they are lessening traffic, by taking cars off the road

there really is zero reason to be complaining, im sure if they wanted to start a ride shareing program and rent busses to drive their neighbors around and pay the city millions, they could use those stops as well.

do what im in the middle of doing.... move to somewhere you can afford. by moving to NC ill be able to save about 40% more of my paycheck every week based on less taxes and lower cost of living on the same cash im paid in NY.

if you are in that situation you really cant complain if the person who owns the property thay are letting you use wants to use it for something else. Ive been bought out of my apartment 2 times in the past, and it was always for the better in the end. i mean seriously ive never seen people bitch about other people making the place better, if they dont like it maybe they should all go to detroit, they would be happy there i guess

yeah, ive never seen a group so stuck up and anti money as san fran. perhaps if these people saved up and bought their own homes rather than renting, they wouldnt be in this mess.

if you dont OWN something, you cant complain when someone else buys said item

if that is true, that is the best story i have hear at a hiring ever...err, non hiring anyway

hey dumbass, they have permission and they are doing you a service by taking 100 cars off the road for every bus give or take. U mad bro?

not important to the point i was making at all.

common sense? no no cant be. that HAS to be racist what you just said.....

so... people are mad that someone has the balls to call it like we all see it???

political correctness my freinds, making the truth bad since it started

I didnt say anything abut dismissing outright, just skeptical as one would be of any partisan site

corruption is still corruption.

you will excuse my skepticism when it comes to trusting thinkprogress.
