San Francisco's Abyss

Homeless people who used to sit on the planter beds are fewer in number, but they're still there. Many of them have shifted 50 feet toward city hall, where they sit inside a large sculpture of san francisco's pioneers. Buty masqueda is optimistic, but it is a resigned optimism. Why do you cut off the daily life of a city in order to create a space for special events that only occur a few times a year? I would question whether we should have an open space of this size at this location,. rather than allowing the traditional elements of city form like streets, sidewalks to exist.
