Great non answerEverywhere in the world has codified ridiculous minutiae into law. It isn't just San Francisco.
The question wasn't about the world and laws, But YOU and this city ordnance
It's not a "city ordinance", it's building code. And since I haven't lived in San Francisco for 26 years, I have no frame of reference to compare.
It was created, amended and added to the codes per ordinance.
It is how a municipality works.
Would you support such a provision in your city code wherein governance over private parking is established ?
