live on the embarcadero with more on that face-off with officers. cate >>> reporter: it was a stark contrast between the celebrations going on here at super bowl city and the hundreds of protestors across the street. [ yelling ] >> reporter: protest organizers called on san francisco mayor ed lee to invest $5 million in housing and to create new programs for shelters and health services. protestors carried signs that said, no penalty for poverty, and house keys for the homeless. within an hour of when the protest started yesterday at 4:30, that group grew to hundreds, about 200 protestors. but there were also 80 helmet- clad police officers standing by. kpix 5 security analyst jeff harp says this beefed up security presence is likely the new norm for big events. >> back over the last couple super bowls, one of the big differences is we didn't have a shooting in san bernardino prior to it happening. we didn't have an attack in paris. we didn't have inside, you know, committing to the cause -- isis, you know, committing to the cause as much as they are now. >> reporter: yesterday the

across embarcadero to the protests that have been going on since about 5:45. thousands of protesters and about that many police. it is a calm standoff. it has been that way since the beginning. you'll notice lots of protest signs. you'll also notice tents that have protest messages on them. those tents are being held above the ground. the police officers have made it clear you cannot put tents on the ground or else they will be confiscated. but if they're held up in the air, they serve as protest signs. and for the last hour and 15 minutes those tents have been held up in the air. some of the volunteers and homeless advocates have taken turns holding them up. now this is just feet away from the ferry building. we have seen about 100 protesters and cops. at several times during the evening about that many people lining up to take the ferry. so life still goes on even though bose sides of street along embarcadero are now shut down. just across the street of course is super bowl city. and that is largely why the police officers are here. they want to keep this protest calm. but obviously th

. they filled super bowl city and justin herman plaza and spilled out on the embarcadero and market street. now the question for those of house lived here, was it worth it? we are getting a good feel about what the bay area thought about hosting super bowl 50. it's a fairly positive response. when asked how they would rate the event, 42% said they were excellent. 25% said good. 19% said fair. 11% poor. in the same poll we asked if the financial benefits from hosting the super bowl outweighed the inconveniences. 49% said no. 36% said yes. 15% weren't sure. >> i didn't go to it but, yeah. >> nothing positive to say? >> i heard they had crab fries. >> reporter: so not everyone benefited financially these last three weeks. city permitted vendors were displaced to make room for super bowl city. now supervisor aaron peskin wants to give those small vendors half a million dollars for dealing with the disruptions. so supervisor peskin is still criticizing how much the city will potentially have to pay to the super bowl festivities. mayor lee is waiting for numbers from the city controller.
