Tragedy strikes San Francisco, and rents are affordable

Come along on an epic walking tour of San Francisco's primo retail neighborhood and its financial district that savages the pusillanimous patriotism of the Right, the heartless disbelief of the Left, and the hedonistic vapidity of those who don't subscribe to any social philosophy at all.

San Francisco's housing crisis is predicated on the privatization of the community-generated value of "location, location, location." Land values rise with the evolution of the community, but it is those who own the pieces of nature to which those land values attach who score like an SEC powerhouse against a fourth tier opponent this opening weekend of NCAA football.

The Right parades allegiance to the inalienable rights announced by Jefferson, but upholds the essential aspect of kingship--private ownership of nature beneath others.

The Left bleeds blue-blood sympathy for the poor, but doesn't trust that men and women given equal access to nature with their landlords can fulfill their own economic desires.

And the ill-educated trundlers of their mere gustatory appetites sup at open-air sidewalk restaurants oblivious to the urine of raggedy pantcuff denizens of the streets darkening the curb.

Join The Commons SF on this breath-taking stomp through town that identifies security of economic control of geography as the key to an understanding of social movements, including San Francisco's on-going resistance to displacement.

The illustrative histories of Willie Brown, Chris Carlsson, David Campos, Dianne Feinstein, and Barbara Kaufmann will be shared.

Early birds will be treated to the literary aplomb of SF's preempter of the soft-pedalling soft-pedling Solnitizian archipelago of ink-spilling urban archaeologists.
