Am I the only one who noticed that video is timestamped April 2010 while the arrest this story is talking about happened in 2007? Sheesh.
What happened is after prohibition they started adding corn and rice to beer and people were just glad to have any beer to drink even if it tasted like corn (which is cheap).
Most people aren't picky and it started a trend.
Of course it's cheaper. I drink Pabst from time to time and it is acceptable, especially for the price. But in most other countries people would take exception to tasting corn in their beer.
You are blaming the city, yet you admit you didn't pay the meter and parked wrong. The same thin could have happened to you in Milpitas. Disingenious.
Don't forget $200 for your healthcare deductible. Bicycle riding is very hazardous in SF.
The Sunset and the Outer richmond (and all the hoods down past Bernal) feel a lot like the burbs and not suprisingly it takes as long to get downtown as the burbs do. I don't think the 20 somethings moving to the city think of the Sunset as a viable option.
This is changing, hence TFA.
In SF, with very few exceptions, the sale of the property does not result in eviction. Renters have almost the status of owners here due to renters laws.
I've lived in SF since 1994 and I can say beyond doubt that Muni is far far better back then. Heck, just the GPS use combined with smartphones allows me to leave my apartment 3 minutes before the bus arrives! But also, in the old days, without GPS, the drivers would stack up with 3 bus turning up at once and then none again for an hour. Now there is much more accountability of the whereabouts of buses and they are for the most part on time.
I find that people who complain about Muni are just those kind of people who insist on using a car no matter what, looking for any excuse to denigrate public transit. Sad for them that SF is a transit first city and cars are slowly being phased out. The young people moving to SF seem to like this fact.. I have met many who do not own a car.
Here's Droid 4 which came out 2-3 months ago.

Wish I had mod points -- what a great, and positive post.
That particular Dell "upgrade" was a downgrade in many other ways, most notably CPU throttling (google "throttlestop" for the solution), and the sound quality of the built in speakers.
I recently discovered that I could make my own barbecue sauce from scratch and have it taste precisely as I wanted to. Seems like a simple concept but for 35 years I was too busy doing other things to learn how to cook. After I made a barbeque sauce better than any bottled variety I had ever tried (for my tastes), I decided to aim higher.. making soup from scratch. I now make the best vietnamese beef soup I have ever tasted. Someday I will be able to make pie crust, caramels, and hand made bread like my grandmother used to make. Although right now, those goals seem too lofty.
I noticed that the motivations for me wanting to learn how to cook today is very similar to my 12 year old self wanting to understand the machine in front of me until I could make rudimentary video games that I would want to play. Deep diving into the details so I could have to the power to control the machine and express my creativity with it.
When dealing with helping kids, I don't think the tool or topic matters, its the process. It's possible that computers are no longer to tool or topic de jeur with creative and intelligent kids these days, and that's fine.
Just figure out what excites the kid and do what you can to encourage exploration.
Mine is also worn, and has had extra pages added, etc. I was warned by the woman at the United desk that if the laminate begins to peel, they will deny me entrance. I was shocked to hear that.
