Most locals and frequent visitors to San Francisco (SF) would recommend against renting a car or getting to SF using their own car. This is because parking in the city is expensive and at times, hard to find. Overnight parking in the city may cost a visitor $30 to $50 per night and in some cases without in/out privileges. Parking near most of the tourist areas, may cost the visitor about $12 to $15 dollars an hour in a parking lot. Parking spots along the road are hard to find and if one does, they are all metered every day of the week in the visitor areas. Parking outside the visitor areas is timed for visitors who do not have a parking permit.
Even if one finds an empty parking spot, visitors have to check to see if parking is allowed at that time. There are street cleaning times, rush hour periods when parking is not allowed. If you don't know whether you should or should not park in a white zone, fuggedaboutit! Parking fines/tickets or the car being towed is the last thing a visitor needs to deal with on a vacation.
Visitors should spend their time seeing SF and not reading parking signs, looking for parking or navigating SF's hilly streets. The SF MUNI is quite good and will take visitors around the city. Walking is a great way to see the city. Use walking tours, bikes, as well.
Please look at the Things to do section to find Guided Tours of the city. Other options include Hop On/Off tours as well as using the SF based streetcars, buses, cable cars to see SF. Other SF Top Questions cover this information in greater detail
Kemenangan Liverpool atas Southampton kemarin malam sebenarnya ibarat pertandingan Liverpool melawan akademinya. Alasannya tak lain karena Southampton selalu menjadi klub pemasok pemain bagi Liverpool beberapa waktu belakangan.
Sebut saja nama-nama pemain The Reds seperti Dejan Lovren, Adam Lallana, Sadio Mane, Virgil van Dijk yang semalam bermain, semuanya adalah alumni dari klub yang bermarkas di St. Mary's Stadium tersebut. Belum termasuk nama Ricky Lambert dan Nathaniel Clyne yang juga merupakan eks pemain Southampton dan diboyong ke Anfield.
Melihat fenomena ini, lebih baik Liverpool langsung saja membeli Southampton daripada terus mengeluarkan uang besar untuk merekrut pemain-pemain mereka. Dari enam pemain di atas saja, Liverpool total mengeluarkan uang tak kurang dari 170 juta Pounds.
Dengan perincian Ricky Lambert (4 juta Pounds), Adam Lallana (25 juta Pounds), Dejan Lovren (20 juta Pounds), Nathaniel Clyne (12,5 juta Pounds), Sadio Mane (35 juta Pounds), dan Virgil van Dijk (75 juta Pounds).
Dan luar biasanya, total aset atau nilai Southampton sendiri berada di angka 270 juta Pounds, seperti dilansir Thesun.co.uk (11/02/2018). Hanya selisih 100 juta Pounds dari uang yang sudah dikeluarkan Liverpool untuk membeli enam pemain di atas.
Southampton sendiri baru saja diambil alih 80 persen saham kepemilikannya oleh seorang pengusaha asal Cina Gao Jisheng seharga 210 juta Pounds musim panas kemarin. Sehingga Southampton bisa dibilang menjual kepemilikannya lebih dari 50 persen pada Liverpool jika uang belanja Liverpool tersebut dijadikan modal untuk membeli Southampton.
