Social San Francisco Race to Clean Up Streets Before APEC Summit

[Orgasmo]

So they knew their city is an embarrassment after all. Only took an APEC summit and Xi's arrival to get their shit together.

San Francisco had the air this week of teenagers frantically cleaning up after a house party with their parents on the way home.

On Market Street, the city’s main thoroughfare, maintenance workers resurfaced uneven sidewalks and installed plywood over empty tree wells.

Nearby, a crew gave a long-derelict plaza a makeover by turning it into a skateboard park and outdoor cafe with pingpong tables, chess boards and scores of potted plants. Elsewhere, workers painted decorative crosswalks and new murals, wiped away graffiti, picked up piles of trash and removed scaffolding to show off a refurbished clock tower at the Ferry Building.

Not since the United Nations Charter was signed here in 1945 has San Francisco hosted as large a gathering of world leaders as the one convening over the next week. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference, beginning on Saturday, is expected to draw 21 world leaders from Pacific Rim countries — including President Biden and President Xi Jinping of China. As many as 30,000 people are expected to attend.

This is not uncommon in any city to the left, right, up or down, they all do the same thing with making sure it looks utopia/upclass during summits, olympics, and all the other BS.

Amazing how the visit of a communist leader can get the US to clean up it's act.

The question is, where did they relocate these people to?

Love how SF passed a ruling stating dregs and unwashed can't be relocated without providing shelter....unless it's for a city event.

Walk in shelters ...but definitely not enough beds for all of them. So maybe a few got escorted to a biofuel refinery

they wanted to look presentable to their asian overlords

a peek at what the future holds, where the west is bowing down to China and other upward trending asian countries

Did you search to find the answer to your question or where you floating it out there so it can be an AH HA?

Has San Francisco cleaned up streets like this before? And if so, was it only when there was a visit by a communist leader?

No, I haven't found the answer. it seems to be a mystery, even to the people that live in the city.
