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.

@DeanPreston publicly dismisses us &our experiences &tells us we don't know what is happening on on our literal doorsteps.We have had violent experiences regarding encampments. It is unsafe for folks w/roofs it is very unsafe for folks w/o roofs. It isn't fear mongering its real1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

The last brawl at Clayton and Haight was started by a pair of bridge and tunnel kids who came to the Haight looking for trouble (as they do). Nobody is saying that homeless encampments on the sidewalks are good or desirable - for anyone. But just telling (1/2)

them to get lost, arresting them, harassing them, these are not solutions to any problem. We need to make sure folks have sanitation, food, water, and services while they're on the streets, and make sure they get real housing and services ASAP. But ASAP might be years, sadly.
