"A vandal destroyed the extravagant parklet at Financial District bar the San Francisco Wine Society on December 31. Despite two police officers arriving mid-rampage, they did not prevent further damage, which included tearing out windows, removing decorative fireplaces, and ripping up carpet and wallpaper, causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Security footage shows the officers speaking to the vandal, searching him, and then leaving. The parklet, named the best in the city by the Chamber of Commerce, was designed to look like a luxe home library and was crucial for the bar's business. Owner Danielle Kuzinich expressed frustration over the lack of police and District Attorney's office response." - Lauren Saria
