"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener says the city needs to find a prompt and \"humane\" way to eliminate tent encampments that house a growing number of homeless people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The growing presence of tent camps in San Francisco \"represents our city's failure to provide adequate housing/shelter and assistance for those who want help, as well as a failure to make clear to those who refuse help that tents on our sidewalks and in our public spaces are unacceptable\" Wiener wrote in a letter last week (\u003ca href=\"#wienerletter\">embedded below\u003c/a>) to the heads of six city agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These tents are a public safety and a public health problem for the people living in them and for our neighborhoods,\" Wiener added in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His remarks provoked outrage from one of the city's leading homeless advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My chin dropped,\" said Jennifer Friedenbach, the executive director of the Coalition on Homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"xV8J32tslxHUmn5TxTbqPm5e9UppY3gz\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I thought it was in particular bad taste given how much people are suffering,\" Friedenbach said. \"He's talking about ripping those tents from people who have no other choice but to sleep on the street.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tents give the homeless cover from the rain, Friedenbach said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Taking away people's tents right now in the middle of these storms, that's about as mean-spirited as you can get,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among other requests, Wiener is asking city agencies for an estimate of how many tents are on the streets and the number of people living in them. While tents have appeared on city streets for decades, city officials say the number has grown in recent years and the onset of this winter's rains has expanded their presence even more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Mission alone, tent encampments have grown along parts of Division, Cesar Chavez, Vermont, 13th and 16th streets, as well as San Bruno Avenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has increased the visibility of San Francisco's homeless but does not necessarily mean a large increase in the population of people living on the streets. There were 6,686 homeless people in San Francisco at the beginning of 2015, according to \u003ca href=\"http://sfgov.org/lhcb/sites/sfgov.org.lhcb/files/2015%20San%20Francisco%20Homeless%20Count%20%20Report_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">last year's count\u003c/a>. That's up 250 from two years earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sam Dodge, who as director of Mayor Ed Lee's \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfmayor.org/index.aspx?page=907\" target=\"_blank\">Office of Housing Opportunity, Partnerships and Engagement\u003c/a> is the city's point man on homeless issues, says his counterparts in Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle have noticed similar growth in tent encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener says he's not talking about bulldozing the tents.

The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/opa/nr/Pages/County-Raises-Purchase-Age-for-Tobacco-and-Electronic-Smoking-Products-from-18-to-21-in-Unincorporated-Santa-Clara-County.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">adopted\u003c/a> an under-21 sales ban for unincorporated areas of the county in June.

Wiener emphasized that “the Castro and San Francisco are places of freedom of expression and acceptance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(But) It doesn’t mean that we have no standards whatsoever,” he said.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nThe vote led some opponents of the ban to strip down in City Hall, according to Tweets from reporters covering the meeting.

The Eagle Tavern maintains its neighborhood gathering place status, and it is also a destination place where people from all over the Bay Area come to enjoy live music, charity events, or simply to hang out with SF locals. Also, the Eagle serves as an anchor business for SOMA street fairs, LGBT Pride, and other events. The Eagle Tavern has national and international status and reputation by which other \"Eagle\" bars and nightclubs are judged...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've seen and experienced how the Eagle Tavern's distinctive environment has forged and propagated extended families, relationships, and friendships. Isn't this what San Francisco is all about? This is why the Eagle has been an enduring historical place that still remains to be so San Francisco. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>More comments on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/SaveTheEagleTavern\">Save the Eagle Facebook page\u003c/a> and on the \u003ca href=\"http://joemygod.blogspot.com/2011/05/san-franciscos-eagle-tavern-closes.html\">Joe.

The South of Market bar \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/local/2011/05/historic-san-francisco-gay-bar-shuts-its-doors-least-now\">\u003cstrong>ended a 30-year run\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> on Saturday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those who didn't regularly frequent The Eagle, it might be hard to understand what it meant to those who did. KQED newscaster Joshua Johnson captured some of that emotional attachment in this \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/04/12/future-of-sfs-eagle-tavern-uncertain-fans-rally-to-stop-shutdown/\">April 12 post \u003c/a> about a gathering at the bar to rally support. San Francisco supervisor Scott Wiener was there and described the significance of the establishment in the following \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44UNPiaDet8&feature=player_embedded\">video\u003c/a>. \"For the LGBT community, our bars and our clubs are our gathering places,\" Wiener says. \"For a lot of gay people, when you come out, your family are sometimes the people that you're meeting in these bars.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe width=\"480\" height=\"303\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/44UNPiaDet8\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nJoshua Johnson's post also drew a number of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/04/12/future-of-sfs-eagle-tavern-uncertain-fans-rally-to-stop-shutdown/#comments\">comments\u003c/a> from Eagle fans, including the following: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As i have seen many of the local people support such a great place; but for many more of us who do not have that community in our local areas we travel to places like THE EAGLE. We seek to learn and be a part of something that is so wonderful that it allows us to feel okay and safe to be who we are. The Eagle and the people of The Eagle share build and grow the tradition and the lives of so many. Please keep the fight strong for a place that has been so good to so many. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.\u003cbr>\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr>\nThe Eagle is my home away from home. i have been to hundreds of benefits there where money was raised for Lyon Martin Clinic or toys collected for the SF Firefighters Toy Drive. On Thanksgiving there is turkey and dressing for all of the folks who would perhaps have to go to a shelter or do without on that day. We have to fight back and SAVE THE EAGLE.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>On April 13, SF Weekly posted this \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sfweekly.com/exhibitionist/2011/04/an_open_letter_on_what_the_clo.php\">letter\u003c/a> from an Eagle patron speaking to his love for the place:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>My first reaction and strongest thought was that the Eagle Tavern is more than just a bar; it is a living community. The Eagle Tavern maintains its neighborhood gathering place status, and it is also a destination place where people from all over the Bay Area come to enjoy live music, charity events, or simply to hang out with SF locals. Also, the Eagle serves as an anchor business for SOMA street fairs, LGBT Pride, and other events. The Eagle Tavern has national and international status and reputation by which other \"Eagle\" bars and nightclubs are judged...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've seen and experienced how the Eagle Tavern's distinctive environment has forged and propagated extended families, relationships, and friendships. Isn't this what San Francisco is all about? This is why the Eagle has been an enduring historical place that still remains to be so San Francisco. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>More comments on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/SaveTheEagleTavern\">Save the Eagle Facebook page\u003c/a> and on the \u003ca href=\"http://joemygod.blogspot.com/2011/05/san-franciscos-eagle-tavern-closes.html\">Joe.

An aide to Sup. Jane Kim, whose district includes the Eagle, attended the meeting to listen and take notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Eagle has been a good neighbor to the people that live near it, and the crowds that come there don't cause any trouble,\" said San Francisco mayoral candidate and former Supervisor Bevan Dufty, who attended the rally. \"(It's) been part of the underpinning of our community in terms of the leather community and in terms of a gay bar that has given back so much, that has probably raised millions of dollars over decades (for various charities).\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dufty and \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44UNPiaDet8\">Sup. Scott Wiener\u003c/a> were also on hand for a protest march that followed the rally. Patrons headed from the Eagle at 12th & Harrison to Skylark, a bar at 16th & Valencia in the Mission. Skylark's nothing like the Eagle -- it features reggae, R&B and a stylish decor for a mainstream crowd -- but its owners have reportedly acquired the Eagle's liquor license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marchers briefly commandeered the inside of the intimate bar, chanting \"Hell, no! We won't let the Eagle go!\" It caused a minor tiff between staff and a few protesters, but a passing SFPD officer quickly defused the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eagle patrons have told me in the past that the bar's demise has been something of a Sword of Damocles -- just a matter of time before it fell. SoMa has gentrified and modernized in ways that can make the Eagle, the Hole in the Wall, Powerhouse and other leather community hideouts seem out-of-place. One leather bar, Chaps II, closed down recently to rebrand itself. Folsom Street Fair still packs in the crowds, but some speakers at last night's rally complained that even that event has lost its punch, and that tourists with baby strollers have started to wander the crowd, complaining about the overt sexuality on display.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Eagle and its fans insist: its legacy has grown far beyond leather. Bar manager Ron Hennis says closing the bar would hurt more than just the leather community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have to look at the Eagle more as a place to meet for the whole community,\" Hennis says. \"No matter if you're a man, a woman, a transgender, who you are, this is the place to be.

Jane Kim, whose district includes the Eagle, attended the meeting to listen and take notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Eagle has been a good neighbor to the people that live near it, and the crowds that come there don't cause any trouble,\" said San Francisco mayoral candidate and former Supervisor Bevan Dufty, who attended the rally. \"(It's) been part of the underpinning of our community in terms of the leather community and in terms of a gay bar that has given back so much, that has probably raised millions of dollars over decades (for various charities).\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dufty and \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44UNPiaDet8\">Sup. Scott Wiener\u003c/a> were also on hand for a protest march that followed the rally. Patrons headed from the Eagle at 12th & Harrison to Skylark, a bar at 16th & Valencia in the Mission. Skylark's nothing like the Eagle -- it features reggae, R&B and a stylish decor for a mainstream crowd -- but its owners have reportedly acquired the Eagle's liquor license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marchers briefly commandeered the inside of the intimate bar, chanting \"Hell, no! We won't let the Eagle go!\" It caused a minor tiff between staff and a few protesters, but a passing SFPD officer quickly defused the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eagle patrons have told me in the past that the bar's demise has been something of a Sword of Damocles -- just a matter of time before it fell. SoMa has gentrified and modernized in ways that can make the Eagle, the Hole in the Wall, Powerhouse and other leather community hideouts seem out-of-place. One leather bar, Chaps II, closed down recently to rebrand itself. Folsom Street Fair still packs in the crowds, but some speakers at last night's rally complained that even that event has lost its punch, and that tourists with baby strollers have started to wander the crowd, complaining about the overt sexuality on display.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Eagle and its fans insist: its legacy has grown far beyond leather. Bar manager Ron Hennis says closing the bar would hurt more than just the leather community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have to look at the Eagle more as a place to meet for the whole community,\" Hennis says. \"No matter if you're a man, a woman, a transgender, who you are, this is the place to be. And this is where we have met for years and years and years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44UNPiaDet8\">Video: Scott Wiener on the significance of Eagle Tavern\u003c/a>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe width=\"450\" height=\"283\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/44UNPiaDet8\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
