"today in the bay" has a report whether city leaders have power

and money to retain the city 3 it presented on the global stage. >> reporter: slowly tearing down what was set up for the apec meeting. a security zone during the summit, rows like the one in front of the fairmont hotel where president biden stayed is now open. >> happy, when the bay area is happy. people being able to get to school, work, where they need to be will be fantastic. >> reporter: except not everyone is happy how the week went. nbc bay area obtained a letter from a handful of small businesses in and just outside red zones. asking the mayor to grant financial support for some. writing, my establishes suffered losses exceeding $150,000 over the week of apec. some restaurants and other small businesses sat empty and others made a decision to shut down completely for the week. >> the big boom we expected didn't happen. >> reporter: in other parts of the city like chinatown.
