If you turn off "Globe" on Google Maps it will show the updated view on the web as well.

But NYC, Chicago and others almost certainly don’t differentiate between human- and animal-poop, either. So to the extent that the maps are inflating the problem, it’s still fair to compare us to other cities.

I remember reading that the initial rollout of the public toilets was stopped by a coalition of disabled people because the proposed public toilets weren’t accessible. And that the city offered to find nearby businesses that would provide, uh, separate but equal facilities for the disabled, but they held out until the toilets were made fully accessible. Assuming that’s true, each toilet probably costs significantly more (and there are fewer places that it can be placed in).

It’s half a mile according to Google Maps.

Google Maps on mobile has a more update view.

Quite frankly, there should be relatively few reasons to grant a SUP in my opinion. The "S" stands for "Special"; I seen no compelling reason for the business to open here at this point in time.

Sidenote – It would be nice if Google Maps actually kept their map images up-to-date so one could see how developed this area has become – the street-view version shows much of this but the top-down image is very old.

And that leads back to how the city is managing development. It allowed SF residences (as best I can tell – at higher density) in this area so the direction has been set. That direction is not compatible with new industrial-style development. You can argue that the city should not have allowed residential (or anything not compatible with the original industrial-type businesses) development in this area, but that’s water under the bridge now.

Blame the city for casting the die. Blame them for lack of planning. Blame them for not adhering to any particular long-term plan (or planning process). This is a common problem throughout the region. Developers pretty much do whatever they want wherever they want because the local government tends to respond positively to those with (or claiming to bring) money.

Here ya go:

I’d say the Planning Commission can approve them based on their merits, along with fact based information such as traffic studies, density maps, and the like. Base approvals on objective matter, not subjective emotions, politics, and NIMBYism. We could also start with a full audit of current neighborhood zoning by property and ensure it aligns to the current property use, is in line with its surroundings, and overall just makes sense.
