San Francisco's APEC aftermath: Evaluating Mayor Breed's impact on the city's reputation
Following the closure of the APEC conference, residents of San Francisco's Tenderloin District hope that the improvements made during the event, such as the opening of 300 shelter beds and increased cleanliness and safety, will have a lasting impact. St. Anthony's Foundation, which has turned one block of Golden Gate Avenue into a peaceful oasis, continues to serve the needs of Tenderloin residents through its food program and community outreach. However, there are concerns about whether the city will allow the area to revert back to being a haven for homelessness and drug addiction now that the conference is over.
