DESCRIPTION:We read and hear that for many citizens reparations for centuries of 
 institutional and implicit discrimination relative to skin color and 
 physiognomy appear as right and good and necessary, while for many others 
 there is flinch and balk and even a feeling of outrage when contemplating a 
 sin and affirmative action offering by those living today for yesteryear's 
 white folks' mean-spiritedness and callous indifference and even evil 
 sadism.\n\nCome along on a walking tour that proposes a sort of restorative 
 justice that would break up a tremendous quantity of the accumulated wealth 
 advantage enjoyed by those who have benefited from the past's institutional 
 racism.\n\nThough hardly a once-and-only fix, the socialization of all 
 ground rents--both actual and potential--would emancipate all those living 
 in the USA from having to pay a private party (whether an individual or a 
 business entity) for occupying North America. Under such a scheme, all the 
 income currently derived from mere ownership of the Earth would be 
 requisitioned by society and available to pay for public education, 
 universal health care, and other social goods. We're talking about an 
 annual revenue equal to all of today's public revenue derived from taxes on 
 earned income, sales taxes, and business taxes.\n\nYou're cordially invited 
 to come along on a tour surveying the intersection of real estate and 
 social justice as revealed through the stories of seven San Francisco 
 social movements.\n\nFREE. Since 1998.\n
