The Frontier Thesis as it relates to Independence Day: a walking tour

As we approach the USA's 4th of July celebration, we reflect upon the substance of citizenship. Join an interactive walking tour that raises the consideration that citizenship without economic entitlement to land is dubious affiliation with the nation.

"San Francisco's Gold Rush Century" treks to the city's American advent original shoreline to reveal Fog City's 1879 "Big Idea" that the economic value of the USA should be utterly socialized in order to make landlords of us all. In 1893 Frederick Jackson Turner presented his Frontier Thesis that the American mind was largely shaped by the prospect and availability of lots of land ensuring freedom from interloping landlordism. San Francisco crashed into the shoals of landlordism in 1852 when the "world rushing in" encountered the State's at last operational Land Office. No longer could the land be claimed in usufruct. Instead, land title precluded independent occupation of the state, with paper title preempting self-employment. Join a FREE walking tour presenting the case for ending private title to "location, location, location" values in order to restore the frontier.
