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
I agree that the situation on Haight and Masonic in the early days of the pandemic was awful and untenable. But you can't open a SSV in the middle of a pandemic overnight. Dean was working to do that for you! And he got it done! Dean got it fixed.

No, I beg to differ. Preston was completely unable to handle the situation. He needed the trained Park police officers whom he insists he wants to defund. Many unhoused didn't want to go to the safe site and moved to other sidewalks a few blocks over. 6 months is not temporary.

6 months is, definitionally, temporary. (It'll be 5, ultimately). Dean was deeply involved in getting your corner cleared. That the police also were involved was part of that. Some folks didn't want to move into the SSV that's their right. But they aren't on your corner any more
