Day 70 of the 16th St. Plaza crackdown Watching the same garage door for hours as a job
Rohan Pandey, a 19-year-old security guard, monitors a garage door on Caledonia Street as part of his job, which he began just two weeks ago. His responsibilities include ensuring that no vehicles block the driveway, a task he finds manageable during daytime hours. Pandey plans to study cybersecurity in Sacramento in a few months, showcasing his ambition beyond his current role. He observes that five people at the far end of the block simply mind their own business. However, he notes that nighttime presents more challenges, according to the night shift guard's insights.
This position highlights the ongoing efforts to maintain order in the area surrounding the 16th Street plaza. Local authorities have increased security measures to address concerns about public space usage. Pandey's job exemplifies the quiet yet essential role of security personnel in urban environments.
