Downtown Doom Loop Walking Tour

SF Anonymous Insider

An expert tour through all of the worst of San Francisco! Your guide is a SF native, political junkie, & opinionated loudmouth.

San Francisco City Hall

You&#x27;ve read the headlines, you&#x27;ve seen the Tweets, now get close and personal to the Doom and Squalor of downtown San Francisco! How can a city with a $14.6 billion annual budget be a model of urban decay? How can it spend $776.8 million per year on police and have no rule of law to show for it? How can it spend $690 million on homeless services and receive an official United Nations condemnation for its treatment of the homeless (&quot;cruel and inhuman&quot;; &quot;violation of multiple human rights&quot;)?T﻿he tour will start at City Hall, and continue through Mid-Market, the Tenderloin, and Union Square. We will view the open-air drug markets, the abandoned tech offices, the outposts of the non-profit industrial complex, and the deserted department stores. Discover the policy choices that made America&#x27;s wealthiest city the nation&#x27;s innovative leader of housing crisis, addiction crisis, mental-health crisis, &amp; unrepentant crime crisis.You will find no better expert. Your guide is an urban policy professional, card-carrying City Commissioner overseeing a municipal department with an annual budget over $500m, and cofounder of San Francisco&#x27;s largest neighborhood association. He has spent hundreds of hours on both sides of the government dais, shouting into the opposite abyss. (This event is the result of his own mental-health crisis.)Total walking distance 1.5 miles. Sneakers advised. P﻿roceeds will be donated to a non-profit that does not actively degrade its community.
