We all know how effective suggestion boxes are, right? Gavin's tacked one up in city call in digital form on his "blog," or "web log." He's asking citizens to submit lists of "peeves," so he knows what he ought to be taking credit for fixing -- including stuff in which he didn't actually have any involvement.

In a newsletter, Gavin's blog editor writes, "One of the original Peeves on ActLocallySF.org was about the inability to buy a MUNI Fast Pass online. Guess what? That's something that has been fixed." That's nice, but what's with the passive voice? Well, it's probably because online passes were in the works loooong before Gavin's website ever went up. And how about this: "We also heard that you wanted NextBus technology extended to other MUNI lines during one of our first Pet Peeves on the Street segments. This too has happened, check it out online now. That's also nice, but the MTA's been promising they'd get that online since February -- and they've been working on the NextMuni rollout for years. So, if you think there's any causality between your peeving at Gavin and Muni's improvements, think again.

So far, Gavin's site has received 1,500 submissions (including our plea to stop taking credit for other city employees' hard work). So that's 2 peeves down already, and the mayor didn't even have to lift a finger; now there's just 1,498 to go.
