No one denies North Beach needs something to change, but we're slowly coming to the conclusion that no one really understands the merit of banning new restaurants either. Case in point: "With such intense divisiveness already stirred up by the zoning approach — which for some reason also bans new sidewalk ATMs and street-level professional service offices — it really becomes difficult to understand how keeping certain businesses out of North Beach will automatically persuade other, more sought-after businesses to move in."
