Now, city leaders are considering legislation that would effectively impose a moratorium on new services and shelters in areas such as South of Market and the Tenderloin. https://t.co/1aj4QVULFW
The police didn't put 10,000 addicts into the Tenderloin. HSH and non profits did that https://t.co/UnusiS5mky https://t.co/D7UJTqnDyO
If SF cares about keeping kids in the city it would not allow drug-filled sidewalks in the Tenderloin, which has over 3000 children. https://t.co/CfVRYZ7hR8 @scsherrill @DanielLurie @SFPDChiefYep
San Francisco city leaders are considering legislation that would impose a moratorium on new services and shelters in neighborhoods including the Tenderloin and South of Market. This move follows ongoing concerns about drug activity and public safety in these areas, which have seen increased community and political attention. The Lurie administration recently deployed community ambassadors to parts of Sixth Street south of Market and around 16th and Mission streets to address local issues. Despite these efforts, residents continue to report problems such as drug use on sidewalks and a perceived lack of police presence in the Tenderloin, a neighborhood with over 3,000 children. Some local nonprofits and supportive housing organizations, which have been involved in sponsoring liquor stores in the Tenderloin, are linked to the drug-related challenges. Additionally, residents in several San Francisco neighborhoods have experienced increased parking enforcement actions over the past two months. The situation highlights ongoing debates about public safety, homelessness, and the role of city policies and nonprofits in managing these challenges.
