This charter amendment has been drafted by musicians, artists, community event organizers, residents and citizens who are deeply concerned about the survival of San Francisco’s world famous musical and cultural heritage.
A citywide development boom has placed pressure on the few areas of San Francisco that are appropriate for outdoor events such as parades, street fairs and music festivals as well as nightlife venues.
These venues and events are increasingly subject to ever more restrictive policies that threaten their survival. Outdoor event organizers have been forced to organize politically in response to numerous policy changes that threatened their events.Nightclubs, music halls and performance venues report similar pressures and threat levels. |
