Shafer asked Breed about the motivation behind those comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that came about because I was angry. I was frustrated,” Breed said. She said she made the comments after speaking with immigrant families in the Tenderloin, who told her about violent encounters in the neighborhood through tears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why do people who deal drugs have more rights than people who try to get up and go to work every day and take their children to school?” Breed asked. The crowd at KQED applauded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shafer pushed back and asked, “Do they, though? Have more rights?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed said she wanted to talk about “the reality of the situation,” and that there are many people who come from Honduras dealing drugs.

We are very surprised that the City of San Francisco, which prides itself of being a liberal and tolerating city, does not see that their cease and desist letter is an open violation of free speech, contrary to the First Amendment of the US Constitution (“I have the right to tell people if I am about to leave a parking spot and they have the right to pay me for such information”).\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Herrera spokesman Matt Dorsey told \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/cityinsider/2014/06/26/monkeyparking-tells-sf-its-not-going-to-kill-its-parking-app/\" target=\"_blank\">the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>\u003c/a> that's \"wildly inventive verbal gymnastics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s be honest,\" Dorsey told the Chron. \"It’s like a prostitute saying she’s not selling sex — she’s only selling information about her willingness to have sex with you. It’s semantic hair-splitting, and it’s absurd.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MonkeyParking's statement also appears to fly in the face of the way it has pitched its service, both on its website and in its app. Just a couple of days ago, a sample app screen on the MonkeyParking site included this dialogue: \"John will pay $10 for your current parking spot. Are you in?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sure sounds like a parking spot, not just the information about it, is up for sale. We note that the sample screen displayed on MonkeyParking's site has changed in the last 48 hours. It now says, \"Maggie will pay $10 to find a parking spot. Can you help her?\" (And yes, that sounds like Maggie is willing to pay \u003ca href=\"http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=7323\" target=\"_blank\">a sawbuck\u003c/a> just to have someone tell her where she can find parking.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_140491\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 315px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/monkeyparking5.png\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-140491\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/monkeyparking5-360x640.png\" alt=\"A screenshot of the MonkeyParking app, informing users they can make $150 a month by selling on-street parking spots. \" width=\"315\" height=\"560\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A screenshot of the MonkeyParking app, informing users they can make $150 a month by selling on-street parking spots.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The MonkeyParking app, as downloaded from the iTunes App Store Friday afternoon, seems more explicit about what you're buying and selling.
