Fog, Cable cars, Ghirardelli Square, Alcatraz Island, Golden Gate Bridge: clue-by-clue explanation

Clue 1: Fog

"Fog" is the opening clue, and it is deliberately broad — on its own it could support several different theories. The efficient move is to park two or three candidate answers instead of committing.
