Is there any another city that has 1,000 organized drug dealers "working" in plain site in broad daylight downtown? Truly a self inflicted wound. And we're all hurting for it. @ShellenbergerMD
What's "equitable" about a community made up of mostly BIPOC going to city hall with their kids asking for intervention while those who defend the status quo live up the hills in neighborhoods shielded by geography from this decline? sfchronicle.com/sf/bayarea/hea…
Join me, @ShellenbergerMD members of @calif_peace and many others on Wednesday Dec. 1 at 11:30am in the heart of the Tenderloin as we push back against drug dealing, overdose deaths and the very establishment that's enabling the decline of SF.
@ShellenbergerMD was contacted by a former "homeless expert" in SF. That person literally confirms everything Shellenberger and I have been saying about "open drug scenes" and more importantly, who is actually controlling policy around the "homeless crisis" in SF.
“To pretend that this city could build enough permanent supportive housing for every homeless person who needs it is ludicrous,” the person said. “I wish it weren’t."
"Is it humane to allow people to live, get sick and too often die in encampments, knowing they will likely wait years for housing?" latimes.com/california/sto…
This is the question we must ask ourselves and our elected leaders throughout #California. It's time for "Right To Shelter" in this state. It delivers for all sides. @CAgovernor@MayorOfLA@LondonBreed
Homeless encampments or "Open Drug Scenes" would be broken up. People moved indoors or to a safe space, buys time to create permanent supportive housing while offering services to the homeless. @ShellenbergerMD@calif_peace
