Funny how people become entitled. It's NEVER ok to park illegaly. Why would one even ask? If one gets away with it, great; if not, well, what do you want? It's not legal to park on a median strip. I recently saw a Marina Chick arguing with a cop that "it's legal to park in your own driveway." Yes, the cop was saying, but it's NOT legal to block the sidewalk. If your driveway is not long enough or your car is too long to clear the sidewalk, you are PARKED ILLEGALLY! Whooo, that Marina Chick was steamed, huffing and puffing over her ticket. Probably the first time a man said no to her.

Ah, median parking. It's an eternal SFist question.

In the Western Addition I think some of the drug dealers have permits for double parking too.

OK, cool; I'll check out the 24th St double-parking and mortuary/church situations next week!

I think a couple of the church's and the mortuary at 26th street have permits for people to legally park in the median on Valencia. My theory is that people see that and assume it's cool for them to park in the median.

People parking in the median is my second biggest SF driving pet peeve. Thanks for covering it! Maybe the next questions can be - "When is it OK to double park on 24th street?" – the top frustration on my list. Remember folks, this street is busy and only has 2 lanes.
