This is bad news.  I've only visited SF, and got the sense that LE was pretty much hands-off, both at the MPs and the Market Street show areas.  Unlike here in San Diego, word in SF was that LE had better things to concentrate on.  I'll be really disappointed if this changes.  Thanks for the heads-up.  

My one tip to all, avoid Paris House like the plague.  Not LE but total ripoff.
