San Francisco officials, led by Mayor Daniel Lurie, have adopted a more active approach to addressing homelessness, emphasizing accountability and recovery while stating that drug use and sleeping on the streets will no longer be tolerated. City representatives cite cleaner streets as evidence of progress, though critics argue that conditions have worsened, pointing to ongoing drug use and violent incidents near schools and residential areas. Specific cases, such as a 47-year-old man repeatedly arrested for assault, vandalism, and setting fires in the Mission District, highlight ongoing public safety concerns. Lurie's office is working with city agencies to remove dangerous individuals from the streets and reduce homelessness, but some question the legality of the proposed funding for homeless shelters. Meanwhile, criticism of California Governor Gavin Newsom has surfaced, focusing on his handling of homelessness and his press office's social media tactics, which mimic former President Donald Trump's style. Newsom has also faced backlash for comments perceived as disparaging U.S. troops in political efforts against Trump.
