Open air drug markets in SF are the result of bad policy by extremist far leftists who refuse to allow social workers to collaborate with law enforcement the way they do in Amsterdam and other European countries

@RafaelMandelman explains in @ShellenbergerMD’s book San Fransicko

This book is lucid, full of real SF citizens like @Twolfrecovery @bettersoma and others who directly experience the worst of our deep policy mistakes buttressed by systemic nonprofit graft and corruption

We can’t fix it without the diagnosis. Thanks @ShellenbergerMD

What do SF Supervisors think about the open air drug laws? Well people like Campos or Boudin sponsor drug use and crime by refusing to enforce the laws. That’s the far far left.

Then there is Matt Haney who is an opportunist and has no backbone to speak of. A true Aaron Burr.

We need a return to more common sense. There is some hope in that we have @SupStefani and @RafaelMandelman but we need more.

Laws matter. The dominant ideology of SF is not working. It’s time for a sweep of the grifters who say the right things but do nothing for the citizens.

Right now the SF streets are death mills, there is minimal rehabilitation

“What’s happening is not even liberal. It’s fantasy land. This is a severe drug addiction crisis that needs greater intervention or everyone’s just going to die from fentanyl.”
