Libertarian Party of San Francisco News

So, Proposition K won. I didn’t vote for it, nor did most westside residents apparently, but it passed. The ballot measure promised to replace the stretch of the Great Highway from Fulton to Lincoln with a park. But it didn’t say what kind of park. So let’s think about this!

San Francisco today suffers from a lack of imagination. Sure, people still do creative work here – the AI revolution bears witness to that. But when it comes to civic projects, we’ve gotten so used to letting government clog everything up with masses of regulatory red tape that we’ve forgotten how to dream big.

If you've spent any significant time engaged in libertarian activism, or even if you haven't, you've probably heard people say things like, "Well, I have a life, I don't have time to play activist", or "those people are losers without real jobs or responsibilities", etc. I can't count how many times I've heard non-activists make comments like these in an effort to dismiss activists and their efforts. Living in the SF Bay Area where most people are politically on the left, I most often hear such complaints voiced against left-wing activists (often by right-wingers who are quite statist and not necessarily contributing much of meaning to society themselves), but it sounds much the same when they are voiced by statists against libertarians.

America is obsessed with guns – whether owning, carrying and using them, or trying to prevent others from doing so.  Loving them and hating them is part of the national culture, as common (and loathed by some) as sex or cigarettes.  And self defense is a natural human right, which translates into the civil right to keep and bear arms.  Just do not tell that to one local baker. 

Reem’s California, an Arab bakery and street food establishment with several outlets in California including one at 2910 Mission Street in San Francisco, is refusing to serve customers who have guns on them.
