Photo of a graphic display take at SFSoundBox. Horizontally symmetric pattern based on a Renaissance painting. Elements include a lute's fretboard and a feathered hat, on a red background.
One doesn't quite know what to say. The placard says that the seating area is Public Open Space from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It's an outdoor, unfenced area that you actually can't keep people out of except, you know, by threatening force. I assume that the signage is boilerplate to give the building a reason to evict anyone who might, say, try to sleep there overnight, or just be there at 1 a.m. or whatever.
