As a resident of the Panhandle the damage is far worse than any other year, including 2008. The fences pushed people further into the neighborhood, and up against the buildings. Most of the vegetation around my building in an elevated area (three feet) has been totally trampled by people climbing up to urinate on the building and to get a better view- this didn't happen before. I saw a lot of damage even a block away from Fell Street - again, this didn't happen before. AEG managed to make the event less fun, breaking laws in the process, and made the original problems worse. Way to go.
Reminds me of this quote from Groucho Marx:
"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies."
