At 16th and Mission, a significant police presence limited the number of people on the sidewalks, causing visible distress among individuals such as a woman attempting to gather her belongings. Contrastingly, 24th and Mission displayed a vibrant atmosphere filled with vendors and pedestrians. The police activity at 16th prompted speculation on whether it effectively manages the situation or simply displaces residents and vendors to nearby areas. The situation underscores the complexities of policing in urban environments and its societal implications.
The heightened law enforcement presence may explain why so few people remained near 16th and Mission. Across the street, beside the U.S. Bank, only one vendor quietly sold roses and sunflowers.
A stark contrast along Mission Street between 16th and 24th was evident, with police clearing sidewalks on the northeast plaza, while the scene at 24th was bustling.
