Castro/EVNA to discuss nudity at Sept 26th public meeting

The Castro/Eureka Valley Neighborhood Association addressed the recent flare up of tensions around the nudists who hang out in Jane Warner Plaza and citizens who have been complaining to Scott Wiener that they have had enough. In their September 8th executive board meeting, they discussed whether or not they would take a stance on the issue stating,

"A long discussion ensued regarding whether or not EVNA had an opinion or stance regarding the Naked Guys (Naked People) that seem to have increased in numbers and frequency in the neighborhood. The Board is really divided as to whether or not they like/dislike this development. It is somewhat clear that California law allows this behavior. Individuals can complain to SFPD and file a complaint on a case by case basis. In the end EVNA took no official position but felt that the conversation may continue and that if the Naked Guys begin to impact businesses then MUMC might take on this issue. For now…"

For now... They are opening the issue up for discussion at their bi-monthly public meeting September 26th. The meeting will be held at 7PM at the Castro Community Meeting Room, 501 Castro Street (above Bank of America). The Castro Biscuit has reached out to confirm the attendance of Mitch Hightower, who has been a notable voice for the nudists and Scott Wiener, District 8 Supervisor, who has expressed interest in trying to work out the issue, but have not heard back from either yet. UPDATE 9/24: Scott Wiener has confirmed his attendance. Still waiting on Mitch. Go make your voice heard if you have a something constructive to say on either side of the issue, but remember, these are your neighbors so be polite.
