After completing a map of The Mission Neighborhood I found:
- 232 Drug Addicts
- 213 Closed Businesses.
- 81 Empty/Abandoned Homes
- 50 Tents
- 37 Rvs
- 23 Prostitues
- 1 Raccoon See 🧵 for findings because it’s MASSIVE.
The drug addicts have completely taken over blocks in the Mission. I’ve noticed a trend where the street squatters have taken over small spots around resident’s homes so do beware and be careful. 🧵
The closed businesses found ranged from small hole in the wall to massive buildings. Mission St and Valencia St have blocks of closed businesses. Even in the warehouse area near the Central Freeway are for sale. 🧵
Something I found interesting is there are many burned and abandoned homes scattered through the neighborhood. There are no signs specifying what is going to be done with them. We also have those luxary condos that have yet to be filled. So much for housing crisis narrative. 🧵
I found that the tents are massive in the Mission than they are in the Tenderloin. I even got a video of a squatter cooking food inside one of the tents. The many tents I passed had the squatters playing games in their iPhones and other electronics.
In many areas, there are a concentration of RV invaders. I spoke to one RV squatter who said they are coming from the D7 area into the Mission because they don’t get the same push back. Another guy walked around his RV with a screwdriver in a weapon like manner. 🧵
I checked out the reported areas of active prostitution and definitely confirmed they are active. Their pimp was parked in an SUV across the street and moved the girls as soon as it was discovered that I was surveying the area. There was one girl who looked no older than 17. 🧵
I want to point out is the Mission is very dirty and if we are serious about climate change, the first thing we need to do is massive clean up the trash. The rats even have grown to NYC size. No wonder why we have epidemics and pandemics.🧵
In last part, we were joined by this fella while completing our Mission map. 🦝
