Kesey Square is  a public space for all to share!  I talked with a couple of women who feel safer with the _travelers_ than they do downtown late at night when inebriated individuals sometimes accost women after bar hoppin. Parents afraid for kids? Families go to the Whit where the Mission is located. Shoppers wanting additional retail offerings? Give us a break! Downtown was vibrant, healthy BEFORE additional pizza parlors and bars opened. More traffic frequenting biz? Now you're talking turkey: more and more $ for a building owners. Limited parking now deters more visitors downtown. I have heard several people point this out recently. Increased business already has meant high rents so that many popular nonprofits can no longer afford to interact with the public there, and these enterprises and employees also contribute to a healthy economy. It is NOT all about money for the 1-10%, honey.
