This is taking place in their city right now as we speak people are overdosing at the Civic Center also even a race related fight took place with a group of Honduras in a few

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.

The drug tourists on Willow St drift into SF looking like the folks on the left in the pic below, and inevitably wind up like the folks on the right. 2/1/24.

Rafael Mandelman. Far from perfect, but one of SF's few serious politicians.

Is it the laws? Or is it the judges? The answer is yes. We need new judges in San Francisco and must repeal Prop. 47 in California. sfstandard.com/2024/02/06/san…

I just voted in the SF March 5 election following the guide below - I hope you'll do the same! takeactionsf.com

During the work week, the Starbucks at California and Kearny - one of a shrinking number in the FiDi - is an uneasy mix of legacy workers and street people, and that mix is trending in the wrong direction.

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

"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." Addict & SRO dweller Joshua. The only time he's been clean is when he was in prison. youtu.be/vUH2kXYZvyA

Lower Pac Heights, 2/11/24. This car was broken into in broad daylight as multiple witnesses looked on. The perps don't care because the cops can't chase them and there are no consequences if they do get caught. The defunders won, at least in SF.

Just 5 years ago, Oakland was heralded as a national story for hope. Homicides and nonfatal shootings were down 50%, local businesses were booming, and our diverse population was increasing. We can get there again. This upcoming election is one of the most important in

This 2023 image sums up SF politics better than any other for me. Scott Wiener, having created the sidewalk conditions seen in the background as a supe and state rep, dreaming of failing up.

When it comes to November’s senate race, remember all the bad bills Senator Scott Wiener has co-authored — most egregious being SB94 that would allow lifers who have “killed less than 3 people” to apply for parole. Step out of your comfort zone and vote Yvette Corkrean for CA Senate to replace Scott.

May 23, 2018. The SF BOS could have picked 2 impartial citizens for the Police Comm. Instead they picked 2 cop haters. Results: predictable. "Hamasaki is a criminal defense attorney. Elias previously worked in the San Francisco public defender’s office" archive.is/afmKd

Why do I talk about safe streets? Last night at 4am a woman started lighting fires along my block. At the tattoo parlor. At Edo Salon. In the Toronado parklet. This could easily have gotten out of hand & burned down homes - but a heroic neighbor ran out & doused the flames
