Ohhh yeah when they said they weren’t blocking off the gardens what they actually meant is they’re only blocking off 60% of the gardens
A picture of Yerba Buena Gardens from right now, the entire open middle section of the gardens are gated off with tents inside. On the far end there’s a big standing sign that says {GARDENS} in the goofy new GDC font

yep it's a Malort advent calendar alright
