Supervisor Aaron Sauter faces challenges in balancing the needs of San Francisco's District 3, ranging from revitalizing tourist areas to addressing public safety concerns in struggling neighborhoods.
as its next supervisor, is a unique marriage of a dozen neighborhoods: Some embody the charms of San Francisco ; others, like Lower Nob Hill , embody its challenges.
“You don’t pick a flower if you like it,” said Fady Zoubi, former president of the North Beach Business Association. First and foremost is Lower Nob Hill, the neighborhood separated from the Tenderloin by Geary Street and sometimes referred to as “Tendernob.” The neighborhood, however, often feels overlooked in the mix of nearby high-profile burgs that represent the heart and soul of San Francisco. They call themselves a “donut hole” that is so under-resourced that people entering Lower Nob Hill from Union Square can easily tell its boundaries by the state of streets.
A goal is to “bring our nightlife economy back to where it was on Polk pre-pandemic,” said Schulman, who hopes Sauter champions a monthly entertainment night market to expand Lower Polk’s Fern alley music series. “Like a first Friday, first Saturday or, pick a day of the month … to bring nightlife into the community,” he said.
“North Beach or Russian Hill or Lower Nob Hill, all these neighborhoods have a certain character that over time will get better and better if it’s nurtured,” he said. “But you keep on changing them, then it becomes like any other neighborhood anywhere else in the world.” “We need to think about downtown as the next coolest neighborhood of San Francisco” he said, referring to a shift from a 9-to-5 area to one that’s 24/7. The new downtown should encompass everything from office to retail to parks to events spaces.
