Fear mongering, really? This "deal" was at Haight & Masonic 4.5 months ago when D5 neighbors were begging unresponsive @DeanPreston for help because we were being threatened by the dealers in HIS TENTS and his aides told us to be compassionate...7 ODs on our block. @chesaboudinpic.twitter.com/Nfr0RtULSh

Very shortly thereafter, Dean Preston helped get those corners cleared. And they are still completely clear to this day.

Not at all. He offered no help for 2 months. We witnessed drug deals, accumulation of trash, 7 ODs, and a crazed out of control car accident before
@SFPDPark stepped in to help. Dean didn't never bothered w/housed residents on the block locked in our homes due to health factors.4 replies 1 retweet 14 likes -

Dean did not ask or make the unhoused people move, and they didn’t want to. The police finally cleared the corner because someone tried to stab a police officer, on top of all the other assaults, overdoses, etc. I guess that was the last straw for the police.

Not at all what happened but you know that. As promised, we fought for a Safe Sleeping Village which was offered to unhoused folks on that corner and they moved into it. That was many months ago.

Thank you for your response. We here on Masonic know differently and never saw you or your comrades advocate or support us or
@SFPDPark. Your inability to work with elected officials and housed residents is disappointing to say the least and VERY DETRIMENTAL to the health of D5.1 reply 1 retweet 6 likes -

The fact that you didn’t “see” it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t happening, neighbor.

What we see and still see because we live here--doing the best we can through this pandemic--doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We who have lived here for decades just want a clean, safe neighborhood/city, a leader who doesn't just say he listens, one who really does play well w/ALL.

Of course you and I and the others like us who have lived here for decades want a safe clean neighborhood and a leader who plays well with all. That's why I voted for Dean. But the unhoused are our neighbors too, and just telling them to get lost doesn't solve anything.

Glad you want a clean neighborhood but it's not what we have or what Preston's actions have given us. Agree to disagree on an unapproachable candidate who for months ignored pleas for help and so now invents his own narrative. The refugee camp I volunteered in was cleaner than D5

Two facts: When then-Supervisor Vallie Brown helped set up a program to get homeless youth to clean the streets, she excluded the Haight from it.
In the last few months we've gotten new sidewalks and regular power-washing on and around Haight.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Replying to @alphadork @DeanPreston and
Not true. Dean took months to get the other side power-washed after his handouts and our side still deals with defecating and urinating stragglers who scream at us complaining that if we had day jobs we wouldn't mind them using our property as toilets. Here is one from this a.m.:
