The amazing 60-40 landslide of Proposition J and the demolition of the Dede Wilsey Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco’s insidious so called ‘Access for All Alliance’ is a historic event.
Tens of thousands of San Franciscans stayed the course since the creation of car free JFK Promenade and The Great Walkway.Undaunted by the whining and complaining of the motorists.
The Entitled motorists and their camp followers waged a vicious, expensive and dishonest campaign to destroy less than three miles of car free spaces.
Personally, Liz and I have been criticized and lectured on Nextdoor, The Chronicle Conversation page and The Richmond Review. Neighbors and friends took us to task for not drinking the kool aid that motorists and their camp followers have an unlimited right to drive anywhere, anytime.
The voters have spoken emphatically. They no longer have this right of entitlement on JFK Promenade and The Great Walkway.
Following are several photos from the 14 events Liz and I have participated in to preserve JFK Promenade and The Great Walkway since March 2021.
