Bad news: San Francisco might ban public nudity

Under the proposed law, nudity would still be allowed at San Francisco’s street fairs, festivals, parades and beaches (which are under federal control). The ordinance is instead targeting an increase in daily occurrences of nudists around the district.

“We’ve always had some public nudity in the Castro,” Wiener told NBC on Thursday. But Wiener said there has recently been a significant increase in the neighborhood’s Jane Warner Plaza.

“Our town square [is] becoming an ad-hoc nudist colony,” Wiener said, adding that on a slow day there are two to four nudists at the plaza, and on a busy day, upward of 10 to 12.
