It's like in Sand Fransisco where the anti-suicide nets on the Golden Gate Bridge are costing more and taking longer than it did to build the bridge in the first place.
Like most insane ideas, it will accomplish the exact opposite as intended. CO2 emissions will double as the entire band travels into town rather than the individual traveling to see them.

SF should save money and build the suicide plank. I'm not in any way trivializing suicide as it affected me greatly (this time of the year, every year), but stupid ideas are stupid regardless of the subject.
