The Water Cooler – San Francisco Cleans Up For World Leaders, But Not For The Citizens

The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.

The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday at noon.

The following information is from Google AI:

San Francisco cleaned up ahead of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.

The city took several steps to ensure that world dignitaries wouldn’t have to interact with the homeless:

  • Clear encampments
  • Deployed “night ambassadors”
  • Swept clean major streets
  • Repaired potholes
  • Power washed all over the city
  • Scrambled for shelter beds for homeless residents
  • Flat-capped police officers patrolled the shopping and business district

The APEC summit is expected to bring more than 20,000 visitors to the city.

QUESTION: If they can do this for World leaders, why do you think they can’t do this for the citizens who live and work in San Francisco?

Of course. The citizens don’t count just the “important people” who make bad policies for the citizens. It’s called “fascism”.

LOL! Regardless of right or left such activities are fascist, the collusion of government and business and results in authoritarian practices. The definition I used is from political science. Of course those on one side will accuse the other side of being fascist. I spell the current critter “democrat” in lower case because they are not the Democrats of the past.

Shallow mirror worshiping politicians, all that matters is their look good.
newsom’ public office experience,
San Francisco Board of Supervisors 1997-2004
Mayor 2004-2011
Lt governor 2011-2019
governor 2019-present . . . . .

“Just a few months after Gavin Newsom was sworn in as mayor of San Francisco in 2004, he announced a plan to get all of the city’s chronically homeless residents off the streets within 10 years.”

Amazing what a little motivation can do. I still won’t go there until they get law and order.

Because they know the dumb lemmings will keep voting for them. They get what they vote for, hope they enjoy it. We used to do a lot of holiday shopping in San Francisco, but no more.

If they did that for every convention that came to the City then the citizens who live and work there would get some benefit. But most of conventions are not big enough for the City to make that extra effort.

17

We are not important to them, only their image within their peer groups is. It is sad when you finally understand these people do not care about you.
At least the city got a bath….wait? aren’t these the same people that say we should be compassionate to the homeless???? I’m confused.

26

I dont know but i do know SF is a gross dangerous city. I havent stepped foot on that city in probably 20 years.

Cost.

No need to worry about cost PAUL. They’ll find a way to make all of us pay for part of it…ABAG swamp is as dirty as Mission @ 17th. I’m sure Newsom’s little hands-across-the-sea (palm up) to China a few weeks ago will pay off nicely for him and his grafty donator friends, as well.

what are flat capped police? Asking for a friend.

Political cartoon sums it up perfectly

Yup

Who do they think they are fooling? Not the Chinese officials, that’s for sure. The Chinese see the same news that we see, and they are fully aware of the filth, and the homeless in San Francisco. The majority of San Francisco voters voted for this, and unfortunately they seem to be too stupid to figure out that the city leaders don’t care about them. “You reap what you sow,” and frankly. I don’t care anymore.

Because liberals and their liberal electorate have such low standards and low expectations that they perceive crappiness as status quo.

That’s why.

I use to go for the Box Conventions yearly at the Moscone Center. I have not been for the last 3 years because of the stank and filth. Other than that, my husband and I have not been to SF for over 10 years because of the mess it is.

Not just world leaders, but the world leader that gave the world wuhan virus, that shut down the world. Would have been more appropriate to line the streets with the detritus they are removing, more suitable for the company. so, y’all ready to get sold out, either by butterscotch puddin’ joe, or greasy, grimy gavvy or both?

As a friend says, “Lipstick on a pig” … it is still a pig.

It is laughable that the city/state think that they can dress the place up for this show and think no one will notice.

Propaganda Village

Potemkin Village, There I fixed it for you.

It is all a facade for the worldly visitors…the City does not care about the inhabitants of this once lovely jewel of the Bay Area–it’s like when in laws are coming over and you ‘tidy up’ by throwing everything in the closet—oh those discerning eyeballs!

SFPD reports a Foreign TV crew robbed while covering APEC summit last night.

Seems they went outside the special area to see the “REAL San Francisco”.

28

Every city does that when they know attention is coming. If they didn’t we’d be bellyaching about that too.

It’s called a Potemkin village. Nothing new here.

So will they clean it us for residents / citizens ? no…. They need to remove London Breed…. it’s all for show – terrible …. we need to push to keep it this way

16

Best part is they did it on schedule with their existing budgets.

Good to know how we the people rate.

12

Voters need to do a clean out at the source, do not elect DEMs.

Sounds a little like N. Korea to me.

I hope Biden rides Bart to and fro.for a delightful Sf experience. He should also stay in the Mission instead of the Fairmont!

It’s the Demorat politicians attempting to make themselves look good, period.

I see the liberals/democrats can’t refute the democrat politicians hypocrisy.
