Last week announced our first Safe Sleeping Village in Civic Center to address the rise in tent encampments in the surrounding area. Today we're announcing we'll be opening the next site at the former McDonald's lot on Stanyan. Here's a thread on why we're willing to try this:

You need to invest in law enforcement to lock up the dealers. It is a drug fest in the streets

YES to more mental health+addiction services YES to navigation centers in EVERY district YES to expanded conservatorship Our filthy streets are a public disgrace, even in normal times, and waiting for the chronically homeless to accept help is unacceptable—to all of us!

I would have to say I am doubtful that is the issue here. Yes, we need affordable housing but that’s not going to solve this issue. We need tougher laws on drug use. Why is it ok to be assaulted with the sight of people shooting up and smoking cracking daily on the streets.

Mayor, have you considered using the professional sports arenas that are not currently used for the rent encampments? They have bathrooms, food counters, other amenities, first aid offices that could make serving this vulnerable population a lot more effective. CC:

As if these neoliberal corporate Democrats would ever consider shifting the load to those with sufficient resources to bear it. The point of government to them is to concentrate dollars upwards, not to address crises.

This is a fantastic explanation, Mayor
@LondonBreed. Thank you for the thread, stats & context. I'm a huge fan of the campsites. How can I help? Can residents donate books, food, gear, $$s?? P.S. I hope you can block people that are trolling here. It hurts the dialog. - 1 more reply
