This is beyond the pale. San Franciscans should have confidence that their tax dollars are being used effectively to deliver results, not to overpay for so-called studies that make contractors look good to the tune of half a million dollars.
The $500,000 study involved two people walking each block of the Tenderloin a single time in 2018, 2019 and 2022.

Commissioner, this sends the absolute wrong message. Shootings have spiked over the course of the past year, killing far too many young people in our city. If you’re not up for the task of keeping all San Franciscans safe, you should step aside.
Uncomfortable truth: Taking a gun from one kid may as likely stop violence as end up in that kid getting killed. It may feel good to post this photo, but I've known too many kids who were killed for being in the wrong neighborhood (often their own) & unable to protect themselves.

San Franciscans deserve accountability not only from those who commit crimes, but also from their government. That’s why this Tuesday, I'll be calling for legislation to require transparency, not excuses, from the DA’s Office.

It is outrageous that a convicted felon who shot at people with a semi-automatic handgun this month was released from county jail using COVID-19 as an excuse. No reason we can’t protect both public safety and public health of inmates. The safety of the public should be paramount.

While those details are being confirmed, one thing is for certain: our drug crisis is out of control and it's affecting all corners of our city. It's absolutely unacceptable that children can't safely play in our parks because traces of fentanyl or drug paraphernalia are present.

The situation in our city is out of control. On top of this horrifying kidnapping, we’ve seen two women killed on New Year's Eve, a young father killed in an eight-vehicle crash, fatal midday attacks on our seniors, and too many car break-ins and home invasions to count.

The system failed Hanako Abe and Elizabeth Platt on New Year's Eve, but what's even more tragic is that the failure to prevent their killing was not an isolated incident. San Francsicans deserve transparency, accountability, and public safety. It's past time they receive it.

This child should not be dead and my heart breaks for her family. As long as dealing continues without enforcement, tragedies like this will continue. Those suffering on our streets need treatment and their killers need to be held accountable.

Today marks 5 years since 60 people were shot and killed and 411 more were wounded at the Rt. 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas. It also marks 7 years since 9 people were shot and killed and 8 more wounded at Umpqua Community College.

They seem to be unaware most people suffering from addiction can’t use safely. This messaging certainly doesn’t help addicts struggling with denial who want so badly to believe they can safely use deadly drugs even when they know prior consequences suggest otherwise.
Ashamed? No. But empowered isn't the correct term to use here either. Again, straddling the line between using safely and drug promotion. How about a message promoting recovery as a way out instead?
