Back from San Francisco, still puzzled by their hill elevator counterweights.

Those counterweight systems look clever until you realize I can barely balance my checkbook. Makes me feel better about my own basic math skills honestly.

Yeah charlie_rodriguez31 asked what's weird. I don't find them puzzling at all, they're a pretty smart fix for a steep city. Just seems like solid engineering to me.
