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.

Totally get that feeling. I used to be the same way with my own budget. Setting up a super simple spreadsheet on my phone was the only thing that stuck for me. Just one column for money in and one for money out, nothing fancy. It finally stopped feeling like a puzzle and just became a quick habit.

What's so weird about them?

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.
