Not the good kind of "ban cars," just temporarily disallowing parking on specific blocks so drug users can't hide behind cars from cops driving by.
This would be moot if
- cops could bother to get out of their cars; or better yet,
- SF addressed the drug crisis with evidence-based solutions instead of a failed enforcement-only War on Drugs

GRID: hitting many cars
In general I don't like racing games where you can damage your car and it impacts on performance. I'm not great at driving a clean race, and like to be able to graze the walls in order to get around corners when needed. You can't really do that in GRID. You have quite a lot of leeway before the damage gets too much, but a lot of that is often lost in the first corner when one of the opponents drives straight into you.
