we start in the town of llandudno, a genteel victorian beach resort.t was built after the advent of the railways, which made the welsh sea coast easily accessible to england's industrial heartland. in the 1800s, the notion that bathing in sea water was good for your health was trendy. and the bracing sea air was just what the doctor ordered. any self-respecting sea resort came with a nice long pier offering vacation goers a day at sea, and a good walk to boot. llandudno is hugely popular with the english -- you won't see many other foreigners here. the long lines of old time hotels offer their guests the warmest welcome possible. but in the fortified castle town of conwy, just a few miles away, we learn that the english weren't always so welcome. eight centuries ago, those english were invaders, sent here by their king to help establish a foothold in a land he wanted to incorporate into his realm. these english garrison towns, with awe-inspiring walls and state-of-the-art castles, created what was known as "the ring of stone and iron" around the land o

how about those beautiful victorian houses? i'm sorry, we can't take you any more. how about the painted heights? no. how about the crooked street? no. there is a concern if people can't go to the places san francisco is so famous for, perhaps they will not choose to come to san francisco as their destination. imagine going to paris and not seeing the eiffel tower. imagine going to london and not seeing big ben. imagine going to new york and not seeing the statue of liberty. that's the impact these restrictions will have on our city. >> good afternoon, thank you. can i have the overhead please? i'm the infamous kelly edwards from the infamous alamo square. this is my time of year on the historic national registry mansion that thousands of people have taken pictures of. get off your big fat tour bus and experience san francisco. okay? this is unsafe. it's the crest of 33 rr hills at the corner of scott and fulton. this car here is going this way going across the street in fell and it's going fully in the crosswalk where pedestrians are crossing. in the peak season th
