San Francisco Nudists Save Tourist from Blowtorch Attack

San Francisco nudists save a Brazilian tourist after a "pirate" tried blowtorching him.

This may be the most San Francisco thing I've ever seen.

The incident reportedly happened in the Castro district, a "gay-friendly neighborhood."

Nudists Pete Sferra and Lloyd Fishback jumped into action after a nearby coffee shop worker snatched the blowtorch away from the "crazy kind of pirate guy."

"My buddy Lloyd is a quiet, respectful guy. But he didn’t waste any time and got the guy with a right hook," said Sfarra.

38-year-old Zero Triball, who is known for causing problems in the area, was arrested.

"We just want to be seen as good contributing members of the community," Sferra added.

By Daniel Garvin
St. Louis Place témoigne de la riche tapisserie culturelle qu'est le quartier chinois de San Francisco. En vous promenant dans cette ruelle pittoresque, vous serez accueilli par des peintures murales colorées, des boutiques pittoresques et l'arôme alléchant de la cuisine chinoise flottant dans l'air. C'est comme une version réelle d'un livre « Choisissez votre propre aventure », mais avec plus de boulettes et moins de dragons.

Slate Magazine : Cruise Control

A major robotaxi company was all over San Francisco—and poised to go national. California just banned it.

California DMV cited “an unreasonable risk to public safety” posed by Cruise robotaxis.

Good article and I'm sure it's all correct. But despite mentioning loads of reasons for the downturn, it fails to mention high prices due to inflation. Most of the businesses being hurt depend on discretionary spending. "Let's spend the weekend in The City." Nope. "Let's go for a drink. Let's go dancing. Let's go shopping." Naw, let's not. People are spending only what they have to spend in order to function.
