So two things to read- Nevius’ article in SF Gate, on North Beach planning effort hinges on a meal” and Eater SF’s rundown, Drying of North Beach. Lively comments on both- mostly Peskin baiting (when is he out again?) and bitterness over a lot of restaurant closures. Not to be flippant, but really the graffiti on the old theater across from Washington Square Park says it all: “No more plywood.” I feel like we’re cutting off our nose despite our face. Come on people, we can figure something out, and it’s not obscure planning codes regarding “what’s a meal.”
