Summary: The attempt to clean up San Francisco’s U.N. Plaza has almost become an annual event. It usually starts with the closing down of the plaza’s fountain for cleaning, coupled with an increase in police patrols. The fountain is being cleaned again, but this time the police have upped the ante by bringing in one of the department’s bus-size mobile command centers and parking it at the Market Street end of the plaza — where it will stay 24/7 for the foreseeable future.
