You know, I’m not as connected as I used to be so I’m making guesses here, but Man, it sure looks like SFGov is making things as hard as possible for you to counter-protest the Patriot Prayer rally at Crissy Field featuring Kyle “Based Stick Man” Chapman, assuming he’s not in jail / under detention.
So, why is the best part of our Presidio reserved for the rally? Well, it’s to make you, the counter-protester, walk AS FAR AS POSSIBLE from the Presidio “gate” at the west end of the Marina Green.
OTOH, how is Based Stick Man et al going to get the the microphone? Is it going to be on a bus from Marin County complete with a CHP escort? That would sure make sense, especially if the Planet Granite area is going to be where this small (300-something attendees?) event will take place.
Look at the map:
So if buses come down from Marin, it’ll be easy for them to get to Planet Granite. But for actual people who live here, you’re looking at a one-hour walk after your MUNI ride. Your options:
BY CAR: Guess what? You’ll have no place to park. Of course I would, I could find a space, but I know what I’m doing in this regard and even if you as well could find a spot, IDK, on Greenwich or something, certainly all of the counters could not. Als0, then you gotta hoof it to the solitary entrance and then you gotta hoof it even further once you’re at long long Crissy Airstrip / Field.
BY MUNI: All the buses will turn around at least 2.4 miles away, as the ped walks, from Planet Granite. Here’s the shortest way AFAICS:
(Take the Lyon Steps of course – Google wouldn’t let me, but you should be able to, after getting off at the temporary terminus near 2300 Jackson)
BY UBER LYFT: Sure, why not? Load up and then get as close as you can, and then hoof it to the gate.
BY BIKE: No, not your fixie, but your $74 Walmart mountain-style bike with 21 speeds and “solid” axles what you torqued on real good, the better to prevent a street urchin from stealing your wheels with short-handled hand tools hidden on his person. Lock up near the Palace of Fine Arts and leave your $15 Walmart helmet and hope that no one pilfers it, as helmets are BANNED.
BY FOOT: Yep. This is how you do it.
Anyway, that’s how you’d do it if you’re going.
(The last time I can remember SFGov going so far out of its way to snuff a protest was when another Willie Brown appointee was Mayor. He bent over backwards to please the government of the People’s Republic of China, so that it could have its Beijing Olympics Torch Run with the Golden Gate Bridge as a backdrop. This go around, SFGov is doing pretty much the same thing, except for the benefit of the “Patriot Prayer” people.)
