I take it the author of this article came from the Fox News "some people are saying..." school of journalism?

Can't believe I wasted my time on an Examiner link. WTF, Fark.

So, if I have my kid's birthday party in a San Francisco park, I can't hire a professional clown?

Sounds like win/win to me...

The letter of the law is important. I won't rely on the word of the bill author simply saying: "Nah DOOD! No way! We didn't mean to say that, man! Like, you can do whatever. It's cool."

Then after it's passed, the Po-Po are all like: "WHERE'S YOUR G-DAMN PERMIT BIATCH!! SPREAD 'EM!"

That's usually the way it works here in Maryland.

It's good to see that liberals can be just as stupid as conservatives.

Walker: It will soon be easier to list the things NOT banned in San Francisco.

Plastic bags, pets, companies profiting...makes you wonder why anyone would live in such a whacked out part of the country. It's like the people actually go home and masturbate to ideas on how to screw over everyone else.

You could always hire a not for profit clown.

They're far more righteous, but no less scary.

It's actually ridiculous here. In Balboa park in San Diego, I've seen three different weddings in one day, each hogging a different section of the park. So I can imagine how bad it could get at more popular parks.

lenfromak: Free baseball in Candlestick Park! Woo-Hoo!

God knows nobody should have to pay money to watch the farking Niners...

Liberalism is about control.

Fun fact: Cemeteries are banned in SF

Wait what, you need a permit to have a picnic in any of San Francisco parks?

sorry guys...



/hot and distraught

FTA: along with ensure that current facilities or events that don't have entry fees remain that way.

Walker: It will soon be easier to list the things NOT banned in San Francisco.

1. Public displays of nudity
2. Panhandling
3. Illegal immigrants

What about circumcision parties?

Let me get this straight:

Problem: City isn't spending enough on parks and rec from the general fund.
Solution: Those places that don't have an entry fee can't be leased to private companies.

New problem it creates: Things like weddings, b-day parties, or picnics where, at most, somebody paid for services to take place in said park cannot happen?

Is that's what happening?

Good luck, it's San Francisco...

Britney Spear's Speculum: Fun fact: Cemeteries are banned in SF

Wrong. I live across the street from one.

Fade2black: Plastic bags, pets, companies profiting...

1. Plastic bags are only illegal at large chain stores.
2. Pets are legal, dunno where you got that one.
3. It's not our fault Twitter is based in SF.

you live across the street from Colma?

Id be surprised if anybody in that cemetery was buried after 1930.

They sure all pulling out all the stops in their quest for a FARK tag of their very own.

Ass_Master_Flash: you live across the street from Colma?

Nope! There's at least two cemeteries in SF proper.

a Policy banning permits for ostentatious, loud, noisy 'THIS IS OUR PART OF THE PARK GO AWAY' parties?

GENIUS!

Walker: It will soon be easier to list the things NOT banned in San Francisco.

Public gay sex.

Why can't we all just ban San Francisco?

There's a proposal to ban selling pets in SF. It's being overshadowed by the anti-circumcision measure. Yes, the ban would include goldfish. Because it's evil to keep goldfish in a big bowl of water.

//the very personification of liberal fascism

What a bunch of cocksuckers.

OgreMagi: There's a proposal to ban selling pets in SF.

Proposal != law. And this proposal has about a zero percent chance of becoming law.

Since you live in SF, you should know there's a good chance it will pass.

Don't be stupid. There are more dogs than children in this city. If any supe votes for this, their political career will be dead.

If passed, it would not outlaw current pets, nor would it prevent people from obtaining pets. It would just put pet stores out of business. Besides, few pet stores sell dogs or cats. It's mostly birds, rats, and fish.

Hey dude, hippies like adopt. Dogs are Canine Americans and shouldn't be sold into slavery.

The term is "animal companions". Calling them "pets" is frowned upon (if not outright illegal).

You're really a resident of SF? Seems blaringly obvious this will pass since 99.9% of the SF dog cultist hipsters are already "adopting" dogs for $ rather than buying them for $.

Ahhh, to be a young 20-something from outlying NorCal, back when SF was f*cking MECCA. The possibility of making a living playing music, Non-biker tattoo places, screaming hot women everywhere (probably men too, but they're not my flavor), every kind of rad food in the world at all hours of the day and night, nonstop live music, great record stores where one could find all the rare and import vinyl one wanted, great art scene, great local sports teams. Some neighborhoods smelled like piss ( they still do BTW) and were places where you definitely wanted to keep your eyes out for riffraff, but you could afford to move there with your hopes and dreams and at LEAST get an apartment with a couple room mates and take your shot.

Now? Living in the city is as expensive as Manhattan and, oh yeah, this>

So sad. Glad I was a miserable failure 20+ years ago there and moved back where I belong. At least there was NEVER hope here.

Mr Rusty Shackleford: Seems blaringly obvious this will pass since 99.9% of the SF dog cultist hipsters are already "adopting" dogs for $ rather than buying them for $.

Right, because only "cultist" "hipsters" own dogs. Your logic is infallible.

DrLearned: Glad I was a miserable failure 20+ years ago there and moved back where I belong. At least there was NEVER hope here.




Yeah, that's what the middle of the country's for: People that gave up on their dreams

Makes me wonder if this also applies to Moscone center. Another reason not to hold shows in SF.
