I used the term “ridicule”,because you can’t shame San Francisco. That just doesn’t work.
The TLDR version of this crisis du jour is that the City of San Francisco ( or BART,or some species of Bay Area tax lice ) managed to spend a couple of billion dollars building what amounts to a somewhat glorified bus terminal. Yes,that’s “billions”,with a “b”. A numeric “2”,and then it gets nine zeroes penciled in after it.
That’s a great many shekels.
And then,after shiting out all these shekels,they finally got the doors open,although this thing isn’t fully operational yet. And might never be.
However,injury isn’t complete without insult. And now the whole shebang has been temporarily closed,because a crack has been found (the structural kind,not the kind that gets sold in the hood).
The crack is in a steel beam that supports some unholy amount of weight. Since the beam is built up out components,it’s possible that there was just a faulty weld,and this might be a tempest in a very overpriced teapot.
However,since this is all taking place in Salt Water Sodom,my bet would be that the problem will eventually be traced to some sort of human error. At which point this happening will get to yuge entertainment status,on account of the scramble to find someone to blame who isn’t a homo,or vibrant,or trans,or has a couple of “x” chromosomes,or whatever.
