Wait did Whole Foods really plop down a high end, overpriced store smack in the middle of the most poverty stricken neighborhood across from where the city's neediest residents gather & then blame that neighborhood and those residents for its closure? My head is spinning.

I wont use the term "open air" drug use. It's a rhetorical device meant to divide people who use drugs & are forced to live on the streets from those who use in the comfort of their own homes. It sets up the call for enforcement/criminalization to apply only to those w/o housing.

Dorsey is excited to enforce laws allowing arrests for people using drugs. Never-mind that not long ago, he was one of those people. He wouldn’t have made it to City Hall (or kept his job w/ the SFPD) w/ such an arrest. Yet, he has no problem denying others their futures. Cold.

This is tragic.

The pitchfork mob that ousted the last DA is going to have a hard time explaining to the voters why crime has gone up when their whole reason for saying he should go was crime. if u say but “reporting has increased”, u will be blocked. That’s a talking point with no foundation .
violent crime in SF is up 5.5% under DA Jenkins, a year after the recall of Boudin
that shouldn’t be laid at the DA’s feet, experts told me, but that’s the opposite of what she said in the campaign: “Crime rate is directly linked to his failed policies”
