This all seems resonable to me. Yes, you should put something down if you sit on a public seat!! I do it at home. GB

I'm amazed that they chose to regulate nudity rather than outlaw it. This actually legitimizes being nude on city streets. I see this as a major milestone for nudist legal rights.

Yeah, and just think of how many things we have seen start in California then work their way east.

Yea, living in the Liberal state of Kalifornia, trends seem to start here and eventually catches on to the rest of the states. Although I do not agree with most of these ideas, this one is a sure winner. Hopefully someday, it will be legal to walk out your front door and enjoy a nice day just as you do now, only you will be able to enjoy it in the nude. What a dream, walk out your front door in the buff and be totally safe from the law.

Mind you, so far this is just a city issue and not a statewide issue. We still have a long ways to go, but who knows, this could be a great beginning of things to come. There are some very conservative areas in this state, so statewide approval of any such notion could pose a major hurdle. But who knows, it sounds promising.

Can I arrive at San Francisco airport and disrobe without going to jail? Cool, time to make vacation plans...

That may be true, but I believe most of the Nudity is in the Castro district.

According to Wikipedia < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_..._San_Francisco >, "there is a rarely enforced anti-nudity civil ordinance in the parks of San Francisco, including the crown jewel, Golden Gate Park. The parks are run by an unelected Parks and Recreation Commission who draw-up the park codes. If the Park Rangers encounter someone nude in a city park they will inform the nudist that he or she is violating a city ordinance. At that point, the nudist can decide whether to dress or to be issued a citation which would require time and effort to have discharged. No criminal charges are pursuable from the encounter."

I would love to have the full details of that. Being able go shopping nude would be great, it says no restaurants in the article, but what about shopping? What about just walking down the street to get the paper. Are their zones to be dressed or not dressed?
