What is so special in the Castro about those two time periods? "and now arrive every Thursday and Sunday, typically between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m." OK, I’ll bite.

“and now arrive every Thursday and Sunday, typically between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.”

I agree that having tour buses gawking at one's neighbourhood and community would be uncomfortable and even annoying. On the other hand, if the tourists wanted to walk the streets and visit local businesses (I don't know the Castro district, but if it's like many bohemian areas, I assume that there are cafes, restaurants, small retail, maybe artist studios that would appreciate some extra business). If the neighbourhood could find a place for tour buses to park on the edge of the area, provide visitors with an anotated map, then this could be a benefit rather than an annoyance.
