SOMA's Bold New Parking Meter Designs

I can't help but see these meters and be reminded of Aaron Perry-Zucker and his self-started bright bench project in McLaren Park: sure, it might not be legal, but it looks a helluva lot better than the bland gray and silver finish they originally saw.  Plus, they match those vandalized light poles oh-so-nicely.

(Also, be sure to see what organic matter lives at the foot of these)

The heinous turds at SFMTA are about to plant a slew of those things in the Mission. Harrison to SVNess, Division to 18th. So git yer spray cans ready. You will find plenty of volunteers.

Why does these look a “helluva” lot better? are you fucking serious? they look like some low life high school drop out tagger got some cheap paint from the dumpster and got drunk with his thumb.

this is not art. this is tagging trash.

Agree with Coward – they look terrible. STOP PAINTING THINGS THAT YOU DO NOT OWN!

I don’t have a problem with the way they look, but it is bad that they are now un-usable.

Someone must have received an unfair parking ticket -
