Churches say Sunday parking meters 'hostile, negative measure against faith communities'
Source: San Francisco Examiner
A proposal to expand parking meter enforcement to Sundays has drawn the ire of local churches and other places of worship.
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency is exploring options to make up its two-year projected budget deficit of $53.2 million. Enforcing parking meters on Sundays, an initiative that would generate $2.8 million annually, has received support from several members of the agency’s board of directors.
... Amos Brown, a pastor with Third Baptist Church, said the proposal was a “hostile, negative measure against faith communities in The City.”
“San Francisco prides itself on being an inclusive, diverse city,” said Brown. “But this measure is suggesting that people of faith are not welcome here.”

Idiot needs to learn what "inclusive" means 
That being said: if MTA wants to close their budget gap, try cracking down on fare cheats!
If we don't enforce meters on Sunday (for the xtian churches), then we shouldn't enforce on Saturday (for Jewish temple-goers, at least the ones who might drive), and shouldn't enforce on Friday (for the mosque-attendees).
Ok, sounds good to me!

Her driveway was blocked every Sunday so she couldn't get out to go to HER church. So she decided to park on the street every Saturday night, blocking her own driveway. The church sent her a letter, complaining that their parishioners needed that spot to park so THEY could go to church.
