"There's simply the opportunity for someone like this woman who wanted to open the piano bar to come to the community and say 'I'd like to do this, I think it'd contribute and can I have your support to do that,'" said Supervisor Mandelman.

He says it draws billions of dollars, and opening new bars in the Castro could be part of the key of getting the city's economy roaring again.
