It's time to end this "dine in the middle of the road" stupidity.

San Francisco seems to be having a lot more of these car crash stories lately.

Would you like some lead, mercury and arsenic to go with your side walk salad?
I have no respect for a table full of Idiots blocking up the whole damn sidewalk to dine on over priced fare, in a rickety table and chair.
And I wont eat in an establishment that informs me, that there's outside dinning, then point to a busy sidewalk.
The biggest thing that annoys me is, it's a sign that a market is over saturated with over priced eateries. They are all creating a beast that is eating its own tail.
There's apparently no adequate retail space available for the restauranteurs to open in a location that can contain their patronage. So they move to locations that wasn't designed for eateries with that volume of traffic. The landlords love it, because they get to raise the rent for those <400sqft spaces. The City loves it, because they get to raise the taxes, the neighborhood loses, because higher taxes and regentrification is soon to follow. A process that tends to build around the notion that their town is so fucking stupid, they gladly eat out in the toxic traffic emissions. The only thing the town gains in the end is a perfect storm of fart sniffing smuggery.
The quality of food suffers, because every copy cat unoriginal shitbird in that town, is then opening a sidewalk eatery. And all of the great people that could bring a decades long eatery institution to the town are priced out.
