#3 He says transforming Alcatraz will "liberate energies, raising the whole consciousness of the Bay Area."

Sounds like it's a matter of faith for him. So does he think the city should also build places of worship for, oh, Catholics?

#5 ...non-violent conflict resolution...

#6 Someone should make a counter proposal that Alcatraz should be rebuilt into the most expensive real estate in the city. Strictly for the ultra-wealthy and their servants.

Of course it wouldn't happen, but wouldn't it be a hilarious proposal. The old hippies eyes would bleed at the thought, while the yuppie leftists would be having orgasms at the thought of living there with rich celebrities.

Maybe they would kill each other.

#7 Moose, pitting one against the other? Evil! I like it.
