His own Californians weren’t important enough.
Drug addicts, dealers and homeless who have plagued San Francisco’s downtown have miraculously disappeared this week as the city cleans up for a huge international event.
Sources tell The Post the homeless have been pushed to other parts of the city in preparation for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, which starts tomorrow and runs through Nov. 17.
However, residents and business owners said city officials’ attempts to “herd” transients and drug addicts is only a “Band-Aid” to a severe problem as drug overdoses continue to plague the city.
The city focused on seven intersections in the Tenderloin and South of Market, or SoMa, neighborhoods which is home to some of the more concentrated encampments where drug-addled people high on fentanyl and heroin can be seen passed out on the streets every day.
“They started clearing the tents earlier this week and there is definitely a lot more police presence,” SoMa resident and community activist Ricci Lee Wynne told The Post.
“They’ve cleared out the tents that were near the Moscone Center on Howard Street, which tells me the city had the capability to do this all along — instead they just do the bare minimum.
“Once APEC is gone, police presence will start to simmer down again, the tents will return. And it will slowly flare up again. What we need is a permanent solution.”
Among the APEC attendees will be President Joe Biden, who will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, which was announced on Friday. The event is expected to draw over 20,000 visitors to the City by The Bay.

Will they stage businesses in the empty shops too?
The San Francisco we know is now a Potemkin village. biden is owned by XI. XI told him to meet him there to give away more American taxpayers dollars to bail out the real estate fall out in China.
If Chinese establish businesses in San Francisco, will they be allowed to stop shoplifters?
I thought they already had a China Town, bet the chinese gangs didnt allow what the SF police allowed .
Newsom is Democrat and Globalists/Traitor he needs removed from Office and tried for treason
What act of treason, specifically, did Newsom allegedly commit?
Sending jobs to China while his state suffers massive homelessness, exorbitant taxes and is bleeding jobs might be considered treason.
No, it absolutely wouldn’t, except perhaps by MAGAs. It’s vastly stupid even to suggest it. You people have described so many things as “treason” that the word has lost its power.
Do you have any idea what the highest marginal tax rate was during the Eisenhower administration, and, if so, was Eisenhower himself guilty of treason?
Why don’t you tell us, Groomer? You have clearly learned how to use a search engine.
Wants to bad Gasline Engines over a totally fake threat of Global Warming/Climate Change
That’s not treason, however you look at it.
Let’s see…. ban US-made ICE vehicles, get EV’s from China. Yeah, that sounds like it’s in the best interests of the US.
Nonetheless: not treason.
Not treason when you support the traitor is what you mean.
As far as the Constitution is concerned, there is a pretty specific definition of treason, and the things you’re describing don’t fit it.
What does the Constitution say about it?
“Bill doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground.”
So… this is treason. Glad we can agree on that.
This one is for you
So, in the fetid mind of a committed leftist, putting the interests of a foreign government ahead of the interests of your own citizens is not treason. I guess there is a caveat that this only holds true when committed by a leftist liberal.
Yes. No.
So, what did Newsom do with those $60,000 apiece tents, all the chairs, tables, tarps, fans, etc they dozed out of the streets? Did they package them all up carefully and label them with the owner’s names? Or did this just shitcan everything?
Funny thing is, you think Xi hasn’t seen pictures of the deterioration of American cities under Democrat rule? He’s just going to laugh to himself (if not in Gavin’s and Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden’s stupid faces) at the thought that all this time and expense was wasted just to impress him. He knows a Potemkin village when he sees one.
Now walls are ok.

Cleaning up the homeless is important, but not a priority for dem govs like Newsom.
People who work for a living and use the #10 freeway in Los Angeles will be inconvenienced for THREE MONTHS because the homeless were allowed to steal electricity and use propane under an overpass.
And to think, with the will to act this didn’t have to happen.

democrats are stuck with biden for 2024. First of all he will not get anywhere north of 81 million votes. Second, newsome is no longer viable as a biden replacement.
That leaves no one to come in, in relief. The question that remains is his VP pick.
