Intro
San Francisco is a fractured city. Someone gathered the peoples and ideas of the west and squeezed, compressed until they fit on a napkin. the baserock shattered and the people were fractured onto islands split by ravines, mountains, rivers of traffic. Now to walk through San Francisco is to traverse the tectonic record of separated people in close quarters, bound by by geology and dreams of a beautiful bridge that promises to lead to greener pastures, that promises gold.
