This level of minor crime is cheaper than the mass incarceration cure we are attempting. We should choose a different more humane path, it's more effective at addressing violent crime.

So, we just allow that to run rampant, like the current DA in SF wants to? That's ridiculous. Gangs, dealers and others have made large parts of the city uninhabitable or un-walkable. People don't feel safe on the streets. This is 100% directly due to lax policy and enablement

We need to balance public safety with prisoner safety. I support cashless bail for the same reason. Someone with means should not be given the right to impact safety because they are rich. 1/

In return, I expect that persons accused, repeatedly of crimes that result in the deaths of drug users be denied pre-trial release.
