A year ago today Mayor Daniel Lurie shared that San Francisco would get a new pro soccer team that would invest $10 million into renovating Kezar Stadium. In the time since, the team has dormant socials, a dead website and no work updates to speak of. From me:

Golden City FC promised a $10M Kezar facelift. A year later, it’s gone dark.
