Default Sounds like fun

Hypotheticaly speaking. What would happen if at 5am everyone in the
San Francisco Bay area drive ALL of their cars into San Francisco City
limits.

#1 How long would it take for the streets of San Fancisco to get
completely gridlocked to the point where just about every square foot
of road, tunnel, bridge, parking garage, and parking lot is covered by
a car? This is Including all of SF's parking lots and parking garages.

#2 What percentage of those cars will fit inside the streets within SF
city limits?

#3 Hypotheticaly speaking would the streets get so gridlocked that
people would simply abandon their cars in the middle of the road?

#4 If number 3 came true, how long would it take for all of the Bay
Areas tow truck's to remove and impound all of the cars and would there
be enough space on the impound lots to accomodate all of the cars?


Here is another big question. Without all the cars, can ever single
bay resident legal or ilegal fit inside the SF city limits all at the
same time? They could be inside the buildings and in the cable cars
too.

The most important question was question #1. How long would it take
for the city of SF to get totally filled up? And how many cars would
it take to do it?

You know how glaciers push down on the ground making the ground sink
under all the weight. Would the SF peninsula momentarily sink a couple
of inches from all the weight on top?

I wonder what might happen if all the bay area residents did this as a
prank. Flooding the streets of san francisco with their cars, trucks
and SUVs. It might not be a very good prank because if someone should
need a fire truck or an ambulace they might die. Nobody would be able
to get through all the gridlock.

Frisco isn't not a very nice city. Sure it's nice to look at and all
but compared to all of the other cities in the USA, Frisco is the least
practical or substantial. Frisco is very fragil and vulnerable to
natural disaster.

The most practical city in America is probably Oklahoma City. If one
can get used to all the tweekers and have a safe room in case a twister
passes overhead.
