obliging them to play out doors when they show up an option to play in or out and it is a winds tunnel. they usual leap want to play inside. i think once we do that the majority of the sound will being inside that's the way it has been and suspect more oshg bliging to neighbors. i think when we say we will have live music every day. reality is probability 2-4 nice dayos a week outside. >> okay. >> sounds good like you taken steps are you doing like your own sound measurements to make sure you are in compliance. i think i will meet with andrew tomorrow. to set a now sound measurement and an app on their phone we measure it. >> great t. is yea. >> we i'm not sure what mitigation we do outside.

a great thing i have been behind push for music and supporting and i saw bob take up on the not only with musicians and with art. and in the investment in that parklet that -- the whole place is a work of art in a way that is part of the intention. and it is not just for making monteis for the community. for all of us. >> thank you. more public comment? we are -- there is none. >> close public comment. discussion? motions? the part that struck me was that they have not been able to have

musicians inside and granting might bring more musicians inside. i feel like that is a win for everybody. >> i feel like i heard from the neighbors who clearly feel this has been a disruption to them and explained. we have this situation in here a lot where not everybody in the city understandses what the entertainment does. we are small but mighty. department. and when we approve permits for if this were to be approved, we are a civic investigating group that has investigators in the field what people experienced before when somebody does not have a permit is call the police

that we are welcoming of all around us and thoughtful of our impact. thank you. mi. i'm nathan i live at 1264 pageful i have been a part of psf for a year now. and -- i moved in my apartment 2020 fortunate to purchase and -- i guess during the pandemic my community all joined and left san francisco. i decided to double down and having no community was

difficult for me. start of 2023 my resolution was nomeet the people, introduce myself common people of brian mentioned earlier, you know it is -- group make the city feel small and more connected. i bumped into people downtown at ocean beach. and so it has been a great community for people i would say like aaron and dave other most accommodating people of can you play music that not as -- filled with profanity. >> absolutely.

like i'm sure -- going for a lark are group of time. i'm also positive -- what we would be actually the times we would play much less than what is asked. we want to make sure we don't over extend our welcome.

love this city [inaudible] an effort to build community. and surrounding neighbors others mentioned they have been acomeidating and respectful i trust they have no intention of disrupting the community.

>> good evening. members of the board and the neighbors. behind me. i'man tina wong. i have been a member of paige street fit since inception. born in san francisco. and through local all the san francisco -- education schools. i'm here to support the permit. i'm in my approaching 60. and most of the group members are in 20's and 30s i have seen

the positive impact this group has had on the neighborhood. and as you can hear from the stories they shared with you today. regular exercise and mental well being. i'm an advocate for that. at this day in my life. music that is needed for our work outs helps motivate and energize the members that attend the work outs.

we dot work outs. see kids that walk by. stop to see what is going on and by example they are seeing members working out. seeing older folks working out that is huge, right? and in a time many of us are often indoors having an out door fitness group with music promotes being outside and enjoying the fresh air. there may be concerns about noise however. the music that has already been played since the beginning of the sessions in that space and for the past few months without has not had significant issues.

from my experience music has not been a nuisance. i have seen people stop and look in what that activity is about.

i think music is important for work outs as others said you don't need a lot you need some. bridges people in. and by geting work out i think i can expand and community met good friends coming out of covid and isolation of the pandemic i think paige street has been a way to meet people and build a community and feel the city. i want to support the permit. thank you very much.

hi. i'm a new member. at the pairj street location and now south street i live on broderick i'm close to the location. you heard the positive affect of the group on the community especially where it is hard to make the most of unused space. what in shared how conscious the group tried to be.

it is 3 hours every week evening from 4:30 to 7:30. and on saturdays from 10 in the morning to 6 at night. 10 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon. it is much more than the 3 plus hours that they are doing every other week night currently. much more. total low different. so, it is the volume and the sheer number of people and it is the volume of the music. that's when we are trying to head off. we don't question anything else that anybody else has said during the comments. that's not our position.

i believe i am just trying to clarify. and -- once the permit is granted for a full year. where do we go? what? thank you. thank you very much. okay. next person is chris. chris, unmute yourself. you have 3 minutes. >> thank you. i'm chris. i'm also a member of paige street fit. what i want to add to the words of support voiced already is dave and aaron's ability to foster a community.

>> making to may grandkids a program all about pop ups, artists, non profits small business in into vacant downtown throughout the area for a three to 6 months engagement. >> i think san francisco is really bright and i wanted to be a part of it revitalization. >> i'm hillary, the owner of [indiscernible] pizza. vacant and vibrant got into safe downtown we never could have gotten into pre-pandemic. we thought about opening downtown but couldn't afford it and a landlord [indiscernible] this was a awesome opportunity for us to get our foot in

here. >> the agency is the marriage between a conventional art gallery and fine art agency. i'm victor gonzalez the founder of gcs agency. thes program is especially important for small business because it extended huge life line of resources, but also expertise from the people that have gathered around the vacant to vibrant program. it is allowed small businesses to pop up in spaces that have previously been fully unaccessible or just out of budget. vacant to vibrant was funded by a grant from the office of economic workforce development that was part of the mayor's economic recovery budget last year so we funded our non profit partners new deal who managed the process getting folks into these spaces.

>> [indiscernible] have been tireless for all of us down here and it has been incredible. certainly never seen the kind of assistance from the city that vacant to vibrant has given us, for sure. >> vacant to ibvooerant is a important program because it just has the opportunity to build excitement what downtown could be. it is change the narrative talking about ground floor vacancy and office vacancy to talking about the amazing network of small scale entrepreneur, [indiscernible] >> this is a huge opportunity that is really happy about because it has given me space to showcase all the work i have been doing over the past few years, to have a space i can call my own for a extended period of time has been, i mean, it is incredible.

>> big reason why i do this is specific to empower artist. there are a lot of people in san francisco that have really great ideas that have the work ethics, they just don't have those opportunities presented, so this has been huge lifeline i think for entrepreneurs and small businesses. >> this was a great program for us. it has [indiscernible] opening the site. we benefited from it and i think because there is diverse and different [indiscernible] able to be down here that everybody kind of benefits from it. >> one more statement.

we are the one. that is our first single that we made. that is our opinion. >> i can't argue with you. >> you are responsible please do not know his exact. [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] >> i had a break when i was on a major label for my musical career. i took a seven year break. and then i came back. i worked in the library for a long time. when i started working the san francisco history centre, i noticed they had the hippie collection. i thought, if they have a hippie

collection, they really need to have a punk collection as well. so i talked to the city archivist who is my boss. she was very interested. one of the things that i wanted to get to the library was the avengers collection. this is definitely a valuable poster. because it is petty bone. it has that weird look because it was framed. it had something acid on it and something not acid framing it. we had to bring all of this stuff that had been piling up in my life here and make sure that the important parts of it got archived. it wasn't a big stretch for them to start collecting in the area of punk. we have a lot of great photos and flyers from that area and that. that i could donate myself. from they're, i decided, you know, why not pursue other people and other bands and get them to donate as well? the historic moments in san

francisco, punk history, is the sex pistols concert which was at winterland. [♪♪♪] it brought all of the punks on the web -- west coast to san francisco to see this show. the sex pistols played the east coast and then they play texas and a few places in the south and then they came directly to san francisco. they skipped l.a. and they skipped most of the media centres. san francisco was really the biggest show for them pick it was their biggest show ever. their tour manager was interested in managing the adventures, my band. we were asked to open to support the pistols way to that show. and the nuns were also asked to open the show. it was certainly the biggest crowd that we had ever played to. it was kind of terrifying but it did bring people all the way from vancouver, tee seattle, portland, san diego, all up and down the coast, and l.a., obviously. to san francisco to see this show. there are a lot of people who

say that after they saw this show they thought they would start their own band. it was a great jumping off point for a lot of west coast punk. it was also, the pistols' last show. in a way, it was the end of one era of punk and the beginning of a new one. the city of san francisco didn't necessarily support punk rock. [♪♪♪] >> last, but certainly not least is a jell-o be opera. they are the punk rock candidate of the lead singer called the dead kennedys. >> if we are blaming anybody in san francisco, we will just blame the dead kennedys. >> there you go. >> we had situations where concerts were cancelled due to flyers, obscene flyers that the city was thought -- that he thought was obscene that had been put up. the city of san francisco has come around to embrace it's

musicians. when they have the centennial for city hall, they brought in all kinds of local musicians and i got to perform at that. that was, at -- in a way, and appreciation from the city of san francisco for the musical legends. i feel like a lot of people in san francisco don't realize what resources there are at the library. we had a film series, the s.f. punk film series that i put together. it was nearly sold out every single night. people were so appreciative that someone was bringing this for them. it is free. everything in the library is free. >> it it is also a film producer who has a film coming out. maybe in 2018 about crime. what is the title of it? >> it is called san francisco first and only rock 'n' roll movie. crime, 1978. [laughter] >> when i first went to the art institute before the adventures were formed in 77, i was going

to be a painter. i did not know i would turn into a punk singer. i got back into painting and i mostly do portraiture and figurative painting. one of the things about this job here is i discovered some great resources for images for my painting. i was looking through these mug shot books that we have here that are from the 1920s. i did a whole series of a mug shot paintings from those books. they are in the san francisco history centre's s.f. police department records. there are so many different things that the library provides for san franciscans that i feel like a lot of people are like, oh, i don't have a library card. i've never been there. they need to come down and check it out and find out what we have. the people who are hiding stuff in their sellers and wondering what to do with these old photos or old junk, whether it is hippie stuff or punk stuff, or

stuff from their grandparents, if they bring it here to us, we can preserve it and archive it and make it available to the public in the future.television >> (music). future.television >> my name is vet at a original artist based in san francisco. >> i love it i love it i've never seen something else and we see how the people see which is happening and what is going on. kind of cool i wanted to be part of that. >> i saw it 2, 3, 4, 5 minutes

you yeah. >> so we have you - yeah. i started going when i was young but not the type of kid would get food but this is something i really have been progressing on a talent from like other artists. >> this is amazing. >> this is so good yeah, it is so good like the artists. >> i love it. >> what a great project. >> part of the part for have i grants. >> yeah. i love it. >> i serve in for 2 two years now and i really am fortunate to live in a place for art.

>> an effort creating places it serve san francisco soul and that makes them want to see this place; right? with the experience of art in san jose experience in from the get-go sometimes our environmentalist has created tests but we have an opportunity for that and have artists in the storefront part of project you can walk in and experience and hoping we'll be there for a long time. >> this is the first farther easy way of going to spaces i didn't know how it is really cool it would be and we're forced to be in the moment when we're test and creating something really cool.

>> makes us feel good. >> as far (unintelligible) done all temporary and took them down i like the temporary aspect base (unintelligible) (microphone distorted) not permanent can enjoy it. >> [♪♪♪] >> i just don't know that you can find a neighborhood in the

city where you can hear music stands and take a ride on the low rider down the street. it is an experience that you can't have anywhere else in san francisco. [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] >> district nine is a in the southeast portion of the city. we have four neighborhoods that i represent. st. mary's park has a completely unique architecture. very distinct feel, and it is a very close to holly park which is another beautiful park in san francisco. the bernal heights district is unique in that we have the hell which has one of the best views in all of san francisco. there is a swinging hanging from a tree at the top. it is as if you are swinging over the entire city.

there are two unique aspects. it is considered the fourth chinatown in san francisco. sixty% of the residents are of chinese ancestry. the second unique, and fun aspect about this area is it is the garden district. there is a lot of urban agriculture and it was where the city grew the majority of the flowers. not only for san francisco but for the region. and of course, it is the location in mclaren park which is the city's second biggest park after golden gate. many people don't know the neighborhood in the first place if they haven't been there. we call it the best neighborhood nobody has ever heard our. every neighborhood in district nine has a very special aspect. where we are right now is the mission district. the mission district is a very special part of our city. you smell the tacos at the [speaking spanish] and they have

the best latin pastries. they have these shortbread cookies with caramel in the middle. and then you walk further down and you have sunrise café. it is a place that you come for the incredible food, but also to learn about what is happening in the neighborhood and how you can help and support your community. >> twenty-fourth street is the birthplace of the movement. we have over 620 murals. it is the largest outdoor public gallery in the country and possibly the world. >> you can find so much political engagement park next to so much incredible art. it's another reason why we think this is a cultural district that we must preserve. [♪♪♪] >> it was formed in 2014. we had been an organization that had been around for over 20 years. we worked a lot in the neighborhood around life issues. most recently, in 2012, there

were issues around gentrification in the neighborhood. so the idea of forming the cultural district was to help preserve the history and the culture that is in this neighborhood for the future of families and generations. >> in the past decade, 8,000 latino residents in the mission district have been displaced from their community. we all know that the rising cost of living in san francisco has led to many people being displaced. lower and middle income all over the city. because it there is richness in this neighborhood that i also mentioned the fact it is flat and so accessible by trip public transportation, has, has made it very popular. >> it's a struggle for us right now, you know, when you get a lot of development coming to an area, a lot of new people coming to the area with different sets of values and different culture. there is a lot of struggle between the existing community and the newness coming in.

there are some things that we do to try to slow it down so it doesn't completely erase the communities. we try to have developments that is more in tune with the community and more equitable development in the area. >> you need to meet with and gain the support and find out the needs of the neighborhoods. the people on the businesses that came before you. you need to dialogue and show respect. and then figure out how to bring in the new, without displacing the old. [♪♪♪] >> i hope we can reset a lot of the mission that we have lost in the last 20 years. so we will be bringing in a lot of folks into the neighborhoods pick when we do that, there is a demand or, you know, certain types of services that pertain more to the local community and working-class. >> back in the day, we looked at mission street, and now it does not look and feel anything like mission street.

this is the last stand of the latino concentrated arts, culture and cuisine and people. we created a cultural district to do our best to conserve that feeling. that is what makes our city so cosmopolitan and diverse and makes us the envy of the world. we have these unique neighborhoods with so much cultural presence and learnings, that we want to preserve.
