Abstract

Abstract In August, 2020 in San Francisco, everyone, and every restaurant, was just trying to survive the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, three clear plastic domes popped up in front of Hashiri, a Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant on Mint Plaza; Hashiri’s manager explained to reporters that these domes ensconcing wealthy diners were chosen to keep unhoused neighbors out of sight and out of the way. Around the corner, unhoused San Franciscans slept in tents on the sidewalk. Tents and domes alike create private space in public on public land, but the city’s emergency policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic legitimized only the rights of businesses and wealthy customers to privatize Mint Plaza for commerce and enjoyment. In this study of Hashiri’s domes on Mint Plaza, I recount a story of the San Francisco government re-entrenching the rights of wealthy restaurant-goers to enjoy, inhabit, and make profit on public space, while neglecting unhoused residents on the same block.

非法帐篷:旧金山一家餐厅对公共空间的私人使用

摘要2020年8月，在旧金山，每个人，每个餐厅，都在努力度过新冠肺炎大流行。然后，薄荷广场上的米其林星级日本餐厅Hashiri门前弹出了三个透明的塑料圆顶；Hashiri的经理向记者解释说，选择这些容纳富裕食客的圆顶是为了让不受欢迎的邻居看不见，也不碍事。在拐角处，无家可归的圣方济各会教徒睡在人行道上的帐篷里。帐篷和圆顶都在公共土地上的公共场所创造了私人空间，但该市为应对新冠肺炎疫情而制定的紧急政策只使企业和富裕客户私有化薄荷广场以进行商业和娱乐的权利合法化。在这项关于薄荷广场哈希里圆顶的研究中，我讲述了一个旧金山政府重新限制富裕餐馆游客在公共空间享受、居住和盈利的权利，同时忽视同一街区的无家可归居民的故事。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
