the group wants to use a tiered system that allows for removable seats, both standing and seated offense could be held, something management said is key going forward. san francisco supervisor rafael middlemen represents the castro and agrees with that. >> what's clear is that it's gone for decades without important investment in the physical infrastructure of the facility and that it needs millions of dollars of investment to bring the building -- to restore the building. another planet has a plan to do that work. reporter: at last years's town hall meeting at the theater, hundreds opposed care -- tearing out the seats. on tuesday, those in the neighborhood say there has to be a compromise here. >> in my opinion, perhaps there's a way to have the seats but also have them removable so that we can preserve the historic nature of the seats in the theater.
