The Babylon Bee recently hit the mark with a sarcastic article highlighting the excessive cleanup efforts in San Francisco. It’s commendable that they want to tidy up, but the underlying motive is what’s infuriating people. Instead of cleaning for the local residents, who endure steep taxes, Newsom had the city spruced up for the arrival of his communist friend, Xi, from China. The Babylon Bee stung Newsom with their hilarious, yet rather accurate, cover and title. It mockingly informed the homeless that they could resume pooping on the streets once his “boss” leaves town.
Ouch.

Jokes aside, people were genuinely outraged over this, and rightfully so.
San Francisco has cleaned up several well-known homeless encampments ahead of China’s dictator Xi Jinping’s visit Wednesday – an effort Gov. Gavin Newsom admitted was only done to provide a good impression for other visiting leaders.
In the span of a few days, the city scrubbed seven intersections in the notorious Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods – a decision Newsom this past week defended ahead of the anticipated Asian summit.
The cleanup left multiple overrun hotspots virtually unrecognizable, and left many asking why similar efforts had not been enacted sooner.
What an insult to reside in a city that was once beautiful but has now turned into a hellhole due to failed liberal policies. Residents are forced to navigate streets littered with needles and human waste, and the only time it gets cleaned is to impress a communist leader.
San Francisco’s homeless population was entirely cleared out for Xi Jinping.

In the end, these are the policies that San Francisco voters chose, and as the saying goes, you get what you vote for.
