Poe's Law at its finest: I don't know if this is an actual business dropping the "we're making the city prettier, just that~" façade and advertising itself based on what it does, or if it's a site criticising this approach to deal with homeless people.

https://sfplanters.org is a parody of https://www.sfplanters.com

And the "real" site had more errors than the parody. "© 2035"

And the “real” site had more errors than the parody. “© 2035”

That's hilarious.

I think that “is” Portland actually. All the photos were Portland locations. At least they were labeled that way.

The real one or the parody?

The real one, for sure. After a couple of free market disagreements involving firearms in front of your home, even an atheist would be praying for sweeps and barriers.
