MODERATORS
They cleaned up the homeless people on the streets just to make way for this meeting. Incredible.
they actually went around and redid roads, curbs, and sidewalks in the general area. they repainted the lines on the roads. they (re?)painted the overpasses so they look nicer from underneath.
they opened a bunch of outdoor stalls in Chinatown and they're keeping them running late into the night, giving the appearance that it's a bustling diverse area that people frequent long after most of the businesses are closed.
From my experience on a normal evening most of Chinatown closes around 6pm and it becomes more of a ghost town than a bustling market.
They've been running state news propaganda about it non-stop for the past couple weeks. They love to talk about cleaning up SF's image from a dystopian nightmare into some sort of world renowned vibrant bastion of freedom, safety, and wealth.
it's disturbing
SF cleaning up their house before guests come over to stay... I would love to see chinese media(or documentary or something) going to SF and on one street seeing a bunch of luxery cars, fancy dressed people, expensive ass restaurants and literally next street over bunch of homeless struggling to survive and do some story... maybe even pull some "fake and dystopian city"(like America loves to do with China and DPRK) stuff before and after the "clean up"
Chinese media never publishes shit like this even though it's so obvious out of what I assume to be some weird honor code only they follow (they literally banned making korean war movies in the early 2000s to "avoid harming the feelings of the American people"). I wish one day CCTV or something would just walk around the Tenderloin or Skid Row with a camera or some smth and get all the liberals to stfu but they'd never do it.
i feel the same way.. if they could just manage to scoot a few blocks off the beaten path and make it to the Tenderloin they'd get just a glimpse of what it's really like here
Tbh I feel like the Tenderloin would be the nice part of the downtown area in most midwestern cities.
The entire SOMA area is sorta sketchy tbh
Tbf, this policy has clearly since been reversed
"Potemkin village" is the correct word, western propaganda love to use it in their projections.
