They probably do but you have to realize that San Francisco isn't as historical as Charleston, it's not quite as old after all. Also if it gets to bad they can just repeal the law i assume?
Not to mention San Francisco/Bay area is ginormous. There are tons of different neighborhoods and Silicon Valley and where most of the techies have made home isn't even considered San Fran; it's more San Jose and the Southern Valley. Putting the tech companies all in one place, drove up property values so much that people had to be bussed in from cheaper neighborhoods which ultimately leads to the satellite gentrification that is pissing off a lot of people in the Bay area.

I do understand that San Francisco isn't as historical but there is nothing about preserving or dealing with the history that is driving this new control of what goes on in the City of Charleston...specifically Upper King Street.
And yes I appreciate San Francisco is a much larger metropolitan area.
Yea, screw competition, who needs a free market anyway. The people downtown live in residential areas where they aren't building the bars anyway. Thriving tourism and desirable downtown should be a want of the council and people who live there. This whole thing is absurd. They should want more local food and bev businesses to come in. Legislation like this never accomplishes what it is set out to do.

How many more bars do we need???
The pause button is the best thing to happen. We need to work on infrastructure
Cannon/Spring/Meeting/East Bay all have narrow 2-3 lanes........We need to work on parking and infrastructure before any more growth.
As many as the market demands and will support. That's not saying there can't be restrictions, extra taxes, etc. However, artificially limiting growth doesn't make any sense.

No, they need to accelerate infrastructure planning and improvements. Its not like there wasn't writing on the wall. The entire area has had plenty of time to plan and adapt, and they chose not to act. Now they need to act and the answer isn't to stifle growth.

Again, accelerate infrastructure planning and improvements. Its not like they can't plan and forecast for growth while the area is being developed. Its ridiculous.
