06 — Where we started
It started on a Sunday in November, a few blocks from Levi’s Stadium. There was a game at four. By two, the cars were circling — slow, frustrated, looking for somewhere to leave a vehicle for three hours and a half. From a porch, a homeowner watched, and noticed: his own driveway, the one his car was not parked on, was empty.
That afternoon, a driver paid him $25. They shook hands. The next weekend, the same driver came back. By spring, the porch had a clipboard. By summer, a neighbour was doing it too.
We are not a tech platform. We are a neighbour.
