The Moscone Center is all set to host the APEC conference in just a few weeks, but local neighbors and landlords have mixed opinions on whether or not the city is prepared for such a big event.
SAN FRANCISCO - 63 year old Manuel Dinmal has lived off of 4th street for 16 years. He says he just got word that San Francisco is hosting the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Conference, for a full week starting Nov. 11. 'I got it in my brain already that a day before they start it, I better get out and get those groceries' said Dinmal.After having a stroke 3 years ago, Dinmal says he's forced to rely on public transportation.
And he's not alone. Some San Francisco landlords with apartments located within the security zone for the conference have voiced concerns for the elderly residents, citing road closures and public transit service interruptions. Mayor London Breed addressed the concerns at a press conference held on Tuesday at city hall. 'Especially with the senior buildings, I know a few of those seniors who live there,' said Breed.
