The text of the proposition was:
"Shall it be City policy that the City should explore and facilitate the
acquisition of Alcatraz Island from the United States Government to
transform it into a Global Peace Center?"
In other words, it wouldn't have done squat, even if by some miracle it
had passed.
I'm not sure if that makes it more or less ridiculous.
