A number of local news outlets have highlighted the city’s rapid actions to clean up the city and remove the evidence of the homelessness problem. There has been, however, little to no discussion as to where the homeless have been displaced to.

The Los Angeles wrote in an article explaining a broad overview of the cleanup efforts (excerpts):
Fresh paint. Street cleanings. Homeless sweeps. Colorful art. Workers like Jacobs beautified the city, days before politicians, executives and journalists from around the world descend on San Francisco for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference. From Saturday to Nov. 17, the international event is expected to bring more than 20,000 people to the city and attract thousands of protesters.
The global spotlight will shine on a city filled with stark contrasts — home to billion-dollar tech companies and streets lined with homeless encampments.
Blocks away from the Moscone Center, where the summit’s main events will be held, Christie Palominos sorted through her belongings. Palominos said she’s trying to figure out what she wants to keep before she moves into permanent housing. Piles of clothing, a shopping cart, bags, coloring books and a variety of objects surround her.
They’re clearing out the homeless people because they don’t want them to see this.
Usually I stay as long as I can, but it’s kind of hard because there are certain people who pick on you. They think they’re better than you.
Walk a day in my shoes. I guarantee that some of these rich people who walk around in these high-rises wouldn’t survive.
Palominos said
Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the Coalition for Homelessness, said her organization has been hearing about more homeless encampment sweeps ahead of the international conference. With shelters seeing spaces already filling up or limiting openings, Friedenbach said it’s “really frustrating” because the city is just displacing groups of homeless people when they’re moved around. Instead, advocacy groups were hoping for more temporary housing for the homeless during the conference.
They want to clean up the city’s image and use this conference as a way to draw back tourism. These efforts never work because folks don’t have disappearing power. People are out there because there’s not enough housing. There’s not enough shelter.
She said
In 2022, 7,754 people experienced homelessness in San Francisco. About 43% or 3,357 were staying in shelters, according to city data.
The Interfaith Winter Shelter, which has a site at Natoma and 8th streets, is scheduled to be open during the summit and the city is expanding shelter capacity at three adult congregate shelters, she said. “When our community hosts events, like APEC, we want to put our best foot forward,” she said.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed said in a press conference Thursday that the tattered urban images people see on social media about San Francisco capture a snapshot in time in certain neighborhoods, ignoring the rest of the picturesque city.
I see a lot of beauty all over San Francisco… My hope is that people will have the opportunity to experience San Francisco for themselves and tell the whole story.

San Francisco was selected to be the host city Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders’ Week 2023, which began on November 11th and concludes on the 17th. The overall goal of the forum is “Creating a Resilient and Sustainable Future for All,” the website says. Guests from around the world will be visiting, such as China, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, and many others from the Pacific region of the world.
The San Francisco Standard reported:
Musk, Benioff, Altman, Pichai, Biden, Xi and Trudeau. Leaders of the world’s largest economies will rub shoulders with billionaire tech titans in San Francisco during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation CEO Summit.
The event runs Tuesday through Thursday at Moscone West alongside the annual APEC Leaders’ Week and is expected to draw more than 1,000 business executives from corporations like FedEx, Visa and Pfizer.
Also flocking to the city are a host of smaller companies and startups trying to get in on the action for a chance to toot their own horns, explore overseas expansion and lure domestic investment.
President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet during this forum, according to The Guardian.
Nothing will be held back; everything is on the table. We’re clear-eyed about this. We know efforts to shape or reform China over several decades have failed. But we expect China to be around and to be a major player on the world stage for the rest of our lifetimes.
A senior U.S. official said
The event is heavily sponsored, drawing the likes of VISA, Apple, Salesforce, OpenAI, Bloomberg, Google, Meta, Bank of America, Nvidia, and many others.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
We’ve all known for a while that if cities across the U.S. wanted to actually fix and address the homelessness problem, they very easily can; but, the politicians and bureaucrats want it this way, as many of them make vain speeches of restitution, while they pocket most of the money allocated to address the issue. But when the “Dear Leader” from China and others stroll in, then the city magically springs into action to pretend like their disgusting, rotted-out city is actually some kind of utopia.
Meanwhile cities across the U.S. are arresting sweet, little old grandmothers for feeding the homeless at parks. SEE: 78-Year-Old Grandmother Gets Arrested And Criminally Charged For Feeding The Poor At A Park
[16] Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning! [17] Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! [18] By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through. [19] A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things. Ecclesiastes 10:16-19
On a more sinister note, I feel it’s worth mentioning that if a city and federal government wants to enact marital law and really crackdown crime, just imagine how swift that’ll be…
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

California has earned the nickname “Commiefornia.” They quickly sweep up the city and rid all the filth not because of constant complaints, but because China among others are coming to San Francisco. That’s eerie.
But nevertheless, this is what comes to a nation that rejects the King James Bible and embraces an amalgam of evil and religion. China very well could claim California as their territory in the not-too-distant future.
34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
Psalm 106: 34-42
Looks good now, but a week after this show it will be back in swallers (pleasant way of saying &@#$hole) and I’d bet all areas where the cream walk; is heavily guarded.
