Alternatives to alcohol related activities such as the proliferation again of gyms, health clubs and i think for every block in this city has a yoga studio on it. Clubs are sitting empty south of market as a result and a change from the current non conforming status to that is not going to make a difference. Changing from non conforming to has a right fully permitted is not going to allow the clubs to be any noisier, to be anymore outrageous in terms of their impact on the neighbors. Either way theyre zoned the same standards are going to apply, no difference. Down zoning the neighbors which most of these options would result in is not going to stop them from complaining whether they are fully permitted or non conforming, conditional use, the neighbors have every right to complain if a venue is out of compliance.

Entertainment was on the agenda for each of the meetings. 200 or more residents and Small Business owners and entertainment people participated in each of those three town hall meetings.

Our medical and publichealth experts will join us, in a bit, to talk about the moment dr. Fauci describes. The president , meantime, is neither done nor said anything that might help us through that period. Hes too busy, trying to overturn the election he lost. And keeps losing, in court and in recounts. And yet again, as states officially certify the vote. Seriously. He once said we would get tired of all the winning. He, clearly, never gets tired of all the losing.
