When all this is done, Market St. could become the gem it should be (although something will need to be done about the scary street people--this has always seemed to me to be the scariest place in San Francisco to walk or sit outside at one of the new sidewalk dining spots; worse even than the Tenderloin whose scariness seems to me to be over-rated).

VERY exciting what's happening on this block!
Although regarding the "scary people", don't forget this is SF so the Mayor and Supes will do absolutely nothing. The best we can hope for is that the scariness will be minimized by two factors:
1) They will get pushed further out to a less populated part of the city.
2) They will remain but the scariness will be diluted due to increased foot traffic and an improving ratio of other folks to street people.
