"It could be seen as protesting too much, but San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and his office have produced a slick but kind of awkward video in which various city departments confirm how "ready" they are to host the Super Bowl. The video below, which was posted Monday, follows Mayor Daniel Lurie's playbook of using social media to promote what a good job he's doing and what fine, rebounding shape the city of San Francisco is in."
"As SF prepares to host 90,000 or so guests this weekend, flying or driving in for the Super Bowl and the associated concerts and festivities, Lurie and various department and agency representatives are seen in the video celebrating how prepared everyone is to deal with whatever arises. This includes a Muni bus driver, a Public Works employee, a guy stamping a permit in City Hall, and someone from the Port of San Francisco saying, "Our waterfront is activated, and secure!""
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and city offices produced a polished yet awkward video in which multiple departments affirm readiness to host the Super Bowl. The video features a Muni bus driver, a Public Works employee, someone stamping a permit in City Hall, and a Port representative declaring the waterfront "activated, and secure." A fire department representative also asserts that crews are "trained, equipped, and ready for any emergency." The promotion appears intended to counter negative perceptions of the city, but the video's tone and modest view count—just over 19,000 on X—raise questions about its effectiveness and target audience.
