    I gotta call them and ask, “bitch, how are you not a hostile occupying force again?”

    Technically they’ve allowed it for some time, but only this last year did someone point out that it could be interpreted this way. It shouldn’t be there at all (and to date it hasn’t been used in this fashion), but I also suspect this will get changed in a year or two, knowing the climate in SF.
