Steve,
I'm not arguing against Cybelle's, but I don't think as a political party seeking the votes of all San Franciscans that we can afford to write off a good chunk of the city as being too "creepy" for us to hold meetings there. Some of the same factors that make places like Mission and SOMA less safe than, say, Pacific Heights -- the fact that they are poorer areas with more diverse ethnic populations -- make them more important for us in terms of outreach. The Green Party has an office in the Mission, and the Marijuana Party has an office in SOMA.
Yours in liberty,

Pacific Heights doesn't have any light rail lines that I know of. If
the goal is to "keep it real" (instead of finding a nice, accessible
place) perhaps we should be looking in the Tenderloin(?)
