Every parking spot on the block is taken, and a handful of drivers are double-parked or stopped in front of businesses’ driveways. Others simply idle in the middle of the road.

It sounds like this is what happens when you have limited public transit and lax traffic enforcement.

“I’ve seen drivers cuss out the police. They cuss us out. They threaten to fight us,” Koral said. “We are verbally assaulted on the daily and threatened with physical violence on the daily. ... It gets scary.”

Oh, and assholes. They make any situation more shitty.

I'm not actually sure what level of public transit San Francisco has. I know they have trolleys and trains, but I'm not sure what the service area/coverage is like. It sounds like the neighborhood in question isn't covered well enough, though.

I'm not opposed to removing parking minimums, but it needs to be done in conjunction with other improvements to avoid situations like this. It's wishful thinking to enact the former, hoping that this sort of pain will force political action to enact the latter.
