San Francisco commissioner resigns in scathing letter to Mayor Breed after exposing city's squalid conditions
Story by Jeffrey Clark •
 
San Francisco land use commissioner Alex Ludlum, the creator of the "doom loop" walking tour which went viral online before getting canceled, resigned in a scathing letter to Democratic Mayor London Breed.

"I regret that my attempt to bring attention to the deplorable street conditions & rampant criminality in my neighborhood has been misconstrued as a mockery of suffering individuals," Ludlum wrote in a letter that was shared by the San Francisco Chronicle.

"Satire is a poor way to address the grave issues we face as a city," he added.
 
The former commissioner was reportedly identified after refunds for his "doom loop" walking tour, which was designed to show off downtown San Francisco in all its "doom and squalor," revealed his email to the public, per the San Francisco Chronicle.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
