Rand's Objectivism is inadequately yet pithily connoted by the OKLAHOMA musical refrain, "Don't fence me in." Meanwhile, the sharpest burst of her narcissistic philosophy's bubble arrives with the Sermon on the Mount's beatitude, "The meek shall inherit the Earth" married with John Locke's proviso that one must leave to others as much land and as good.

In short, don't fence me in but neither fence others out.

Come along on a jolly good walking tour exploring the intersection of real estate and social issues featuring 12 San Francisco social movements as cases in point. The point? The control of land values determines oppression.

The Mormon Hegira, the Black Panthers' break-away, Sun Yat-sen's 3 Guiding Principles, The Occupy Movement's failure to occupy, and a slew of other stories fill this mental door jamb splintering pilgrimage from Promised Land to Palestine . . . all right here in San Francisco.
