"By all accounts, SF Live was a victory - spiritually and economically. The mayor's office enlisted the help of local venues like Bottom of the Hill and El Rio to book shows, and it paid each a stipend for its work. By SF Live's conclusion, the city had dropped wads of money into the pockets of local bands and independent clubs."
"If Daniel Lurie cares about boosting San Francisco's music scene - and enlivening the city in general - the new mayor shouldn't retrace Breed's steps. First, let me address the obvious. Music is low on San Francisco's list of priorities. Rent is high, thousands are unhoused, and the city's persistent image problem has had a ripple effect on the tourism industry across the Bay Area."
