    Nothing is stronger than the SF NIMBY.

    Everytime I visit SF I see people urinating in public and at least twice not even attempting to hide it by facing a wall. I feel like it's a general lack of law enforcement issue in the city.

      I once saw a grown man pull his pants down and take a shit right on the sidewalk on market street. San Francisco just be like that.

      What does that have to do with NIMBY?

        NIMBY probably don't want a 24/7 tesla charging station right next to their homes. It's like living at a gas station, but people fill up for 1hour+ at a time. Seems like a zoning failure and should never have been approved.

        Read the article, it's basically just homeowners near by complaining and city councilors responding to that by demanding Tesla fix it.

    The urine thing is startling. I'm not much of a car person, much less an electric Tesla person. Is urine a large part of the Tesla sub-culture?

        It's also hard to park and find public bathrooms in San Francisco.

          It's generally hard to find bathrooms or trash cans at any tesla supercharger. They're not part of the design.

          You either have to find an amicable business nearby or you're out of luck.

    I'm honestly amazed there isn't a toilet there? Like, there's toilets at gas stations, why wouldn't they (by default) put toilets in a supercharger lot?

    That's pretty cheap! I mean, does Tesla expect people to use the toilet at a gas station when they're not even buying gas?

      Costs money to operate.

        And anything remotely close to a public toilet in SF is doomed to disaster.

    So it's cleaner than the sidewalks?
