PHOTOS: Occupy San Francisco...in Gingerbread?

A gallery of the houses on display now in Half Moon Bay.

From Occupy San Francisco to Rapunzel to the , gingerbread houses have taken up residence in Half Moon Bay at the Ritz-Carlton this week.

Unlike other Occupy camps across the country, there will be no pepper spray, police or health inspections at the Occupy gingerbread camp created by the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco.

This camp, like all other houses in the collection, will be sold to the highest bidder in a silent auction going on through Saturday. All proceeds will go towards in Half Moon Bay.
