What does public safety really mean in San Francisco? Does it mean homicides at a 70 year low? Or does it mean not having 8k homeless on the street using drugs? The city continues to prioritize 8k people over the 800k who live, work and pay taxes here.

If you're on the street, if we offer you housing shelter or treatment, you must take it. Or it's jail. you can't stay here on the street harming the community and traumatizing working families because you have a drug addiction. That has to stop. Now.

In the business world, the way to solve problems is often times the simplest path forward. In this case, it's enforcing the law. Not just on the street but in our courtrooms.

I'm an AI founder and have lived in San Francisco since 2013. I've also been working on solutions to the homeless and drug crisis since 2018. In that time, I've watched billions get spent not just here, but across California and homelessness got worse while OD deaths exploded.

Is your home ready for winter? Some recommended preparatory steps include caulking and weather-stripping window and door frames.

I'm tired of the homeless and drug crisis being a drag on San Francisco. Poor policy. Billions wasted. Refusal to enforce laws. It turned the city into a Jekyll and Hyde of innovation and suffering. We're both the leader in AI and the butt of jokes across the world.π§΅

Until then, our downtown cores will continue to struggle. Remember, we already know up to 50% of those on the street using drugs in SF have housing or shelter already. Downtown. <end>

Homeless activists have convinced you that there won't be behavioral problems at these sites because people just need a roof over their heads. We now have demonstrable evidence that is just not true. Get people healthy and sober, then help them re-integrate.

If we continue to use the most expensive real estate in our urban centers near neighborhoods where people work, and kids go to school, and then allow drug use, you will see open drug markets develop. The Cova hotel in SF comes to mind.

Cities should be using land away from large urban areas for this. Candlestick Point in San Francisco comes to mind. Or, Bayshore where there's a lot of open land sitting empty. Shelters can be built quickly and services provided there.

San Francisco used the hotel Whitcomb on Market St to shelter the homeless. The result? Multiple OD deaths inside, fires and millions in damages.

A few years ago, the city of Venice put a low-barrier "bridge shelter" in the middle of the community. It nearly destroyed the city. @TraciParkforLA finally got is shut down and most of the encampments and open drug scenes went away.

San Francisco and LA keep putting shelters and rehabs in neighborhoods where people live and work. We should stop doing this and use cheap land outside of our downtown cores. π§΅

The Democratic party doesn't seem to understand how important public safety is. Look at how popular San Francisco mayor Daniel Lurie has become because he has a public safety agenda.

SF's Prop C Business Tax (of 2018) put a tax on a company's GROSS Total Receipts. So if a company had revenue & operations world wide, it would pay an SF tax on all of it. Of course companies would need to leave SF. What a toxic & anti-productive measure. It took effect 2019.
San Francisco should repeal Prop C. It cost the city thousands of jobs and cratered downtown. Now that Kristin Evans and Jennifer Friedenbach have been removed for overseeing Prop C funds, it's time to make the move. Bring businesses back and fund treatment. @DanielLurie

If you don't agree, consider a recent UCSF study that found San Francisco has 37,500 hard-core drug users living in the city. We have a drug crisis. Let's treat it that way.

Remember in the 50s when Eisenhower warned of a military industrial complex? He could have never foreseen the homeless industrial complex we have today. Billions spent. But homelessness continues to grow. Are we really helping? Or deliberately keeping people down?

On Fast Times with @Twolfrecovery and @adampnathan we dive into Venice's comeback from the brink of homelessness and crime, tackling the RV crisis, and why recovery must be part of the solution. https://t.co/maso7V5ZEO

If we don't give the mayor and the DA the tools they need to combat open drug markets, we leave our city open to federal intervention. We dodged a bullet this week, but we won't be able to dodge another. The city must act.

We must put pressure on the judiciary in San Francisco to hold people accountable. Most of our judges are former public defenders. They put their thumbs on the scales of justice. And it's caused great harm to San Francisco.
