absolutely because you know the police can't just block off the entire city they have changed strategy last week they did what they normally do doing precious and fast that is keep a distance you know try to disperse them with lots of tear gas but they didn't really move forward that much today as you said earlier they have arrested apparently more than one thousand people and that's also because they're operating differently they've got different little squads that are actually going at the protesters trying to identify the instigators and to arrest them so it's been a different strategy there has been violence obviously but the violence has been a bit more contained the last week. now the government has responded to these protests and they conceded if you will they're going to scrap this tax that everyone's so angry about so why the protests ongoing. well the pressures were triggered. by an announced rise in fuel taxes but that was only the trigger the underlying anger is still there the government has now reacted to their demands to that main demand and some other small taxes but fo

it is as if you are swinging over the entire city. there are two unique aspects. considered the fourth chinatown in san francisco. sixty% of the residents are of chinese ancestry. the second unique, and fun aspect about this area is it is the garden district. there is a lot of urban agriculture and it was where the city grew the majority of the flowers. not only for san francisco but for the region. and of course, it is the location in mclaren park which is the city's second biggest park after golden gate. many people don't know the neighborhood in the first place if they haven't been there. we call it the best neighborhood nobody has ever heard our. every neighborhood in district nine has a very special aspect. where we are right now is the mission district. the mission district is a very special part of our city. you smell the tacos at the [speaking spanish] and they have the best latin pastries. they have these shortbread cookies with caramel in the middle. and then you walk further down and you have sunrise cafÉ. it is a place that you come for the incredible
