The Community Leadership Alliance (CLA) has launched an effort to reduce the number of liquor licenses in the Broadway/North Beach area, saying that “far too many bars-clubs … attract unwanted crowds of rowdy and
noisy patrons.” CLA is seeking to have some of the licenses bought from North Beach clubs and bars and have those licenses moved to other areas of the city, “under the ownership of responsible business owners who will commit to working with their respective communities in their efforts to maintain and improve their quality of life, and at the same time revitalize the local economy,” the group said in a statement it released in April.
