On Saturday I decided to take a walk to Haight off of Masonic.  I walked down Haight Street toward Ashbury and observed a few things.  The street is pretty narrow and the all the parking spots on the street are taken up.  There were not that many bikes and I think that is due to the street being so narrow it would be hard and probably dangerous to maneuver the street on a bike.  When I was there I did see many people getting into ride sharing vehicles such as Lyfts or Ubers.  As Zimmer states in his article the amount of ride sharing has increased in the past few years and will continue to increase due to the costly upkeep required to own a car.  On my trip I saw this was evident as I’ve said I saw many people getting into ride sharing vehicles.  As I mentioned Haight Street was full of cars and as Zimmer states cars aren’t the problem it’s how we use them.  Cars are parked about 95% of the time and this seems like a bad use of space that could be used for more bike lanes or bigger sidewalks for pedestrians.  On Haight this would probably help with the congested street and help to improve the flow of traffic on the very narrow street.
