2:31 pm
48s and i get along great with both. maybe nobody's come to my place for food i don't know (laughter) >> all right. commissioners. moratoriums don't work. we have a conditional use process and a pcm process. a few years back there was an act of god or nature where the mountain moved by the current pen house. those paralyzed those buildings. this act of legislation is a manmade thing. there's a one hundred and 47 page of cad reports. what you want is a third party
2:32 pm
analysis of where those calls are coming from and a complete analysis. what we're doing with this legislation is creating a man made problem. you're going to freeze the crowbar location and have 4 major vajts with 2 parking lot you motive get a slice even if pizza for the penn house. that's a recipe for bus. there are 32 protests on this man's licenses. there's zero or non-complainants on a 4 thousand secreting location. so you would have consistent over there because broadway
2:33 pm
doesn't live in a volume. we need to get a friendly amendment on this legislation i'll be more inclined to support it put the million dollars into the building and create an infusion similar to the one on branch so maybe some of those buys who go to the crowbar can support some of the other businesses >> thank you. any final any public comment? ? you can't make another one and neither can you. i'm sorry part of the rules. any other any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. this is not an action item but i don't know if any commissioners have any last comments you want to say >> i want to say blaming alcohol is i don't know in a way it kind of to me it starts with
2:34 pm
an approach i'm not a limiter. i want to say for the past 2 1/2 years i've been doing a lot of work on broadway so i find it interesting that now there's a limitation now that things are comfortably which to me doesn't make sense. i want to say people were talking about, you know, bad promoter but the people who higher the bad promoters are responsible for the bad promoter and they're responsible for the party and they're responsible for the fact that street had six or seven night clubs all doug doing the same entertainment along with strip clubs that are providing the same entertainment. i don't believe alcohol or liquor licenses is to blame it's
2:35 pm
the lack of diversity and there's ways other than having the sins of the fathers being blamed for how the street is developed but at the same time, i want to say i really had a great time working with the neighbors in north beach. i totally respect how much time you've put into our neighborhood and i really do wish you the best going forward >> commissioner lee. >> so again two years, you know, i'm not for more to your memory either but 2 years i truly building in the cv d. there's need for a organization to get moving. again, i'm on the fence about a marrow to your memory but people like the fiasco bar who's ready to go in and fix the places up.
2:36 pm
you've got to get rid of the empty store fronts. who wants to see the broken down buildings. so see if you can workout our differences and those two years will go fast and you'll get what you wish for. obviously hose going to pour a lot of money into this building and you've got to explicit give him 9 opportunity >> commissioner joseph. think i don't remember is your name daren. your presentation was great. i wanted to say you came up here and were right on and i was able to relate to what you had to say i totally believed you. i was on the broadway task force way back when and i was on that
2:37 pm
street at night in the middle of those horrific crowds. that went from really dangerous to scary to police van to deed. i've been out on broadway and some people are afraid to walk on broadway. i'm not afraid of anything because there's nothing there. when i first came to san francisco broadway was the place to be you went to the stone it was a great place to be. it's very sad. my fear about all of this is this. you make a change maybe it works maybe it gets for confident maybe new businesses come in and the change that feels good is a business killer.
2:38 pm
i've heard nothing but i'm sorry katie i've heard nothing but moratoriums out of chiu's office. saying i can't do something take what you got and work with it do outreach. i'm all for pa ingress broadway but i'm very afraid of having people stop business development. i'm also protecting my commitcy arthritis the industry. we talk residents and boosh talks for police. i wish you the best i know this is going to go through no matter what any of us say but think about two years down the road. i'll be shooting user or
