The sightseeing venture, opening on Saturday August 26, will begin at City Hall and continue through Mid-Market, the Tenderloin, and Union Square.
The tour claims to offer the chance to see ‘open-air drug markets, the abandoned tech offices, the outposts of the non-profit industrial complex, and the deserted department stores’ of San Francisco’s troubled downtown.
The scathing Eventbrite advertisement says this tour will allow participants to ‘discover the policy choices that made America’s wealthiest city the nation’s innovative leader of housing crisis, addiction crisis, mental-health crisis, & unrepentant crime crisis.’ More
Aaaaaaand I would not go to San Francisco to puke!

Walking tour, they must be nuts. Is security provided?
Probably tongue-in-cheek, perhaps it might shame the shameless city corruptocrats.
Maybe an armored tour bus would be more appropriate.
Bob – exactly what I was thinking. Like the armored bus in “The Gauntlet.”
My memories of California (Canadian Kid).
Went down to Laguna Seca to watch some road racing.
Had a race car at the time but no where enough money to tow it down there.Had a great week just checking things out.
Then the morning i was to leave on a flight 9/11 happened.Got to spend an extra week in Cali.Drove all over the area in my rental and i must admit once people found i was out of country and stuck there i was treated like kings, from restaurants to hotels even had an interview with the SF Chronicle,( i know, i know ).
Went to the Airport when flights resumed, got bumped to first class.
When Californians were Kings.

As a Californian it pains me to say I doubt if you would receive the same treatment today. Unless you were out of the Bay Area.
Would be a lot better tour if Paul Pelosi would jump out at the end, holding a bloody hammer…BOO!
Brad.
That’s why i posted,what is now is not what it was then.
Does the tour end with a group shoplifting spree.
If I could get a government grant to study the whys, whats and how-comes of the destruction of ‘American greatness’, I could readily explain in ‘short-sleeved English’ just what the biggest Fucking problem has been AND just WHO needs to be hanged, shot, permanently incarcerated or otherwise forever eliminated from society and if the proper steps were taken; I would refuse the grant money.
Am I to the understanding that people are going to actually pay to go on this cesspool excursion?
in other words a preview of gruesom newsom’s america
