Comedy troupe Cultivated Wit takes a humorous jab at megaprojects, outlandish crowdsourcing, and how much San Franciscans loathe Burning Man in a cheeky mock campaign that would support the construction of a 300-mile wall around the Bay Area to keep Burners out, forever. And all at a reasonable cost of $7 billion. Set up like a Kickstarter page, Cultivated Wit's MegaGoGo — "the funding platform for large-scale infrastructure"— is complete with those much-needed backer rewards and a satirical campaign video.
The host of the campaign video details the world-changing benefits of a Burner-wall: "We can make a whole new way of life, as long as we just adhere to a couple principles, like inclusion. If this project is anything, it's about bringing people together — together to lock people out...We've got to be mindful of the environment. That's why we can't leave a single trace, aside from the giant wall."

Oh, please. We all know they can break through that wall in under an hour.
Then they will have to have a special election to raise taxes build a BART tube under it that will take 10 years to build and 5 billion - only to find it has water penetration to the rebar
