"Every time this happens, the creators say it's all in good fun, but the truth is blindingly obvious: someone with more money than compassion wants to amuse themselves by watching broke San Franciscans tire themselves out for the chance to get out of debt. The really sad part is that the need for that kind of cash has only grown in the past decade."
"Even leaving out the hole-digging aspect, there was the fact that the show I was attending, the location of which was only given out a few days before the show, was at Ocean Beach. If you've heard anything about SF politics of late, you know that Ocean's now-open road was the catalyst for the upcoming recall election for Supervisor Joel Engardio."
A high-profile scavenger hunt had local residents deciphering clues on social media and digging up holes for a $10,000 cash prize, repeating a similar 2014 occurrence. Creators framed the event as harmless fun, while the reality showed wealthy individuals amusing themselves by watching financially struggling San Franciscans exhaust themselves for a chance to relieve debt. A performance took place at Ocean Beach with the location revealed only days beforehand, and Ocean's now-open road became the catalyst for a recall election for Supervisor Joel Engardio. San Francisco performance venues and troupes are closing, eroding the once-sustainable independent theatre ecosystem and producing widespread stress about its future.
