And Left-wing:

Nice that they share the 📚 emoji.

A severely drug-addicted woman in San Francisco just lost both her feet b/c she did not want to go to the hospital.

She still is "not ready" for treatment.

For San Francisco's leadership to say "oh well, it's her choice" is a dereliction of duty, and morally wrong.
This woman (who looks to be in her 30s) is crippled for life.

Can you imagine anything more horrific than waking up to find both your feet gone? She is now wheelchair-bound.

This was her before the amputation.

I believe with every fiber of my being that we, as a city, need to follow the law.

We need to issue conservatorship when people are a danger to themselves.

We need to enforce drug dealing laws.

And yes, we need to use SF's jail (which has 1000 hospital beds in it btw.)

Currently trending on r/sanfrancisco. ImageImage
Some interesting responses... 😬 ImageImageImage
There's a famous saying among longtime San Franciscans, "crime don't climb."

Wealthy people here use the hills as protection. Alternatively, they live far out west.

Any homeowner (or landlord) located on flat land near public transit will relate to that post.

Despite representing <5% of San Francisco's population, Black people account for 37% of our homeless & 25% of overdoses.

Thousands of homes & businesses have signs up saying "Black Lives Matter" -- but few people seem to care about the overdose deaths.

Why is that? ImageImage
According to the Washington Post database, seven unarmed black people were shot & killed by police last year in the United States.

Meanwhile, in San Francisco *alone* ~155 Black people died of an overdose.

Why is nobody saying their names...? Image
There is something borderline Orwellian driving around San Francisco, seeing thousands of signs that say "Black Lives Matter", and then seeing hundreds of black people passed out in front of these businesses and homes as people step around them.

It doesn't make sense to me.

This is a San Francisco politician arguing that we should still have a ban on evictions because of COVID.

And our city wonders why almost nobody wants to build here and we have a housing crisis...
If San Francisco government wants to make housing more accessible to lower & middle-income folks they should probably do the opposite of everything they have been doing.

Our policies on zoning, rent control, evictions, short-term rentals & unit conversions are byzantine.
The more I study San Francisco government, the more I come to the point of view that our leaders are directly responsible for almost all of our issues.

You can blame weather & geography only so much...

Our lack of housing, our drug crisis - it's government-manufactured.

Almost every long-time San Franciscan I know says the city is currently in the worst shape they have ever seen.
Please note - I do not say this to complain.

I say it to share that it hasn't always been like this...

SF & CA governments have made a lot of policy decisions in the past 10 years.

We should be evaluating their efficacy.
My biggest critique is around our drug policies.

I think we have made California a haven for people who do not want to enter drug treatment or get clean.

By decriminalizing drug possession, sales, use etc. we have made it the perfect place to kick the can down the road.

Last night I went to a bar in downtown San Francisco.

It looked like a dystopia.

I saw hundreds of people folded over (likely high on Fentanyl), or sitting on the sidewalks smoking.

Almost every person looked homeless.

I felt scared to park and walk two blocks. Image
I took a drive down Mission street and saw tent after tent, person after person sleeping on the sidewalk.

The Tenderloin & SOMA were the same.

FiDi didn't have any tents (probably because the high-end property managers send in power washers at night).

It was beyond sad.
Everywhere people were congregating, the surrounding area was littered with trash.

People were emptying bins onto the ground and rifling through them.

When I walked to my car a very large man came uncomfortably close to me, talking to himself in an angry, booming voice.
