The old feud. Who will win? Parking in the Mission is a nightmare. I had a car when I first moved to the neighborhood. After my first week living here, I had amassed 3 parking tickets and quickly decided that having a car in the Mission is a luxury reserved for royalty and visiting heads of state. Many years of bicycling later, I’m quite pleased with my decision, even if day trips to Point Reyes are a lot more difficult to pull off now.
