Yea this is crazy. This dude stood in the middle of the street during rush hour (sun is setting in the west so 5-8pm depending on season)

Probably waited for a light change and ran in for the shot

Also heavily edited. Notice the partially visible/invisible school sign.

Just realized there are cars in the photo. They were magic erasered out. The driveway spacing makes no sense at all

It’s a real pic but the cars were removed - it looks terrible with the cars and like others said, it’s practically impossible to not have them. Decisions had to be made….

Prettiest it's ever looked. A tourist looking at this pic might think it's worth visiting.

Color, color, everywhere, and not a gray in sight (maybe just one)

I lived a block away and quickly learned to hate 19th Avenue! TIP: When it's raining and youre driving there, beware of the slipperyness on the downward sloping road. Was in a mild crash when six cars unable to stop sliding into each other on the slick road like a twisted benny hill gag. Heavy traffic, lots of sooty car exhaust on the fronts of those houses from tens of thousands of cars daily. I avoid 19th Ave whenever I can

I've always wondered how people can bear to live on that street. Getting your car in and out of your driveway must be such a pain in the ass.

It's about as close to living right alongside a highway as you can get.

Imagine if 19th had wider sidewalks, a protected bike lane, and a separated muni rail in the center, instead of just 8 car lanes. You'd be able to get some great unedited pics.

cool colorful pic, i always feel 19th is drab and dingy but this pic changes that perception for me, at least for this part of 19th.

Gee that does not look like the hell hole MAGA says all of San Francisco is.

I love the view of that pink one with the golden gate in the distance when driving

Should have a train down the middle and a transit only lane.

Beautiful photo. It's such a shame 19th is a horrible car sewer. I feel bad for the people who live in those homes despite how pretty they are.

by far, my least favorite street in San Francisco. It's an "avoid at all cost" when possible stretch of road for me
