Argument Against Avalos

229 Words1 Page

At 5:30PM on Wednesday July 29th, hundreds of bike riders gathered at Waller and Steiner streets and launched an unusual demonstration in which they scrupulously followed law. They did so by coming to a full and complete stop at every stop sign and red light. The protest was a response to SF police Captain Jon Sanford’s recent crackdown on bike riders who ignored stop signs or traffic signals. Soon after the protest, supervisor John Avalos proposed a policy to let cyclist treat stop signs as a yield signs. I support Avalos’ policy because it brings not only order and safety on the road, but also economic and social benefit to San Francisco. Avalos’ policy is a special right for cyclists, but reasonable and necessary one because drivers could

    This campaign does not start with civil disobedience, rather it begins with collecting facts. These facts could be how the law came to be, the context of the law, who wrote it and why. These facts prove the injustice of a law. Then negotiation of the law takes place, in hope one can avoid breaking the law. If and when negotiations fail, the third step is self-purification.

    No person wants to tread the difficult trail when it would be much easier to follow the herd along the easy route of following laws. Yet, those who still hold passion for moral truths disobey the law when unjust, and this is a true testament to the power of American perseverance. Most recently, the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline have brought more attention to the pipeline. This is another strong effect of civil disobedience. Even when no legal change is brought about immediately, attention to the cause still promotes change for the future.

  • Technology's Impact On San Francisco

    Protests such as these are due to the displacement of lower income individuals from their homes after their rent was raised due to the increasing property values. In fact, a UC-Berkeley study and map shows that evictions and rent increases often directly coincide with areas that the Google buses stop. Moreover, the median rent in San Francisco has increased to over 3000 dollars a month, 10 percent more than the previous year and three times the national average. Ironically, San Francisco boasts the nation’s largest minimum age at over 10 dollars an hour; though even this is not enough to make an impact on the increasing cost of living in the area due to the tech boom. Property inside the city has been bought and remodeled to suit the liking and taste of the tech employees that are now seeking to call the city home.

They also say that 715 lives in all states could have been saved if all motorcyclists had worn helmets.
