SAN FRANCISCO – GREAT HIGHWAY PARK VICTORY NIGHT
Lee Heidhues 11.9.2024
Tonight I feel vindicated with the passage of Proposition K and the approval of Great Highway Park.
My advocacy has been steadfast and unrelenting for a more pedestrian and cyclist friendly San Francisco. The creation of JFK Promenade and now Great Highway Park are two of the political achievements I will forever treasure and cherish.
It’s been a nearly five year battle with the smug, spoiled, petulant and virulent motorists who feel they have a birthright to drive their cars anywhere, anytime.
In March 2021, after responding to the personal and political social media attacks, I was labeled by Nextdoor as someone who “Rants” and was flagged by this organization. On which almost any behavior is tolerated.
Nextdoor admitted “your posts were not attacking your neighbors or using language deemed inappropriate, they still fall under our Guideline regarding ranting.”
My account was, in a nice Orwellian turn of phrase, “disabled.”
A short time later I exited Nextdoor and have not posted since July 2021.
Now, that my years long advocacy has been rewarded, I am reblogging the exchange I had with Nextdoor’s minders nearly four years ago.
