“San Francisco is plagued with thousands of scofflaws. Their crime? Storing anything that isn’t a car in their garage. According to Chapter 6 of the San Francisco Housing Code, ‘Private and public storage garages in apartment houses and hotels shall be used only for storage of automobiles.’ Failing to comply with the law can lead to fines of up to $500. The law is particularly silly since many San Franciscans are proud cyclists. Take Kimberly Conley. She has a home in the Mission District with her husband, but no car. Because of the city’s code, she’s technically breaking the law every time she stores her bike in her garage.”
