'So the Tenderloin's gotten bad?'

'It's real bad. It used to be a little bit of heroin, a little bit of crack, to now there's just groups of dealers on every corner.'

Figured I'd stroll down toward Fisherman's Wharf last night to see if anything was new. Nope. Same ole, same ole.

The balaclava clad fentanyl dealers no longer post up openly in packs on street corners in the TL. Now they mainly make house calls. Polk and Geary, 2/1/24.

Supervisor Dean Preston (deanpreston.bsky.social) Aaron Peskin Connie Chan 陳詩敏 and others are so busy worried about rap lyrics.

Upper Polk is seeing a large influx of addicts. Feels like they're being pushed out of their traditional roaming grounds.

SFPD's 'Operation Blitz'

Sources: to preserve Fillmore Safeway, SFPD is using store’s surveillance cameras to observe shoplifters. 4 uniformed officers, on OT or taken from neighborhood patrol, are used to cite/arrest after thefts are observed.

Will SFPD have to stay forever?

There are disruptive elements in every city. But time and time again we find the ones in SF are funded with our own tax dollars. Won't see that in Dallas or Miami.

Are folks really moving back to SF? Just check the U-Haul rates. A 20' truck from SF to Vegas will run you $1,908, vs $300 in the opposite direction. SF to Boise is $3,627 vs $594 the other way. Conclusion: The exodus continues.

A steady stream of homeless stroll into the FiDi Chipotle, walk upstairs, and make a mess of the place. I was going to say there's nothing Chipotle can do, but of course there is - they can close, like so many other restaurants have had to do. 1/24/24.
