Very old news! Cavemen also drew pictures of animals in caves so it looked like they had a lot of meat :)

Potemkin Village

In 1982, Mayor Ed Koch of New York City covered the windows of abandoned buildings in The Bronx with decals of plants and Venetian blinds to hide the blight.[8] ....... In 2010, 22 vacant houses in a blighted part of Cleveland were disguised with fake doors and windows painted on the plywood panels used to close them up, so the houses look occupied.[9] A similar program has been undertaken in Chicago[7] and in Detroit during the World Series festivities in 1984.[10]

Potemkin Village

Btw, terms "Potemkin Village" is incorrect one as such things actually never were made by Potemkin :-) Quite the contrary, this guy made many real things.

Howdy, Stranger!
