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

Gangs and dealers are best financially rewarded by our continued brutal, violent and oppressive police state, ensuring a continued lucrative and profitable market.pic.twitter.com/Cnt6wRhh97

I hear you there - I would much prefer legalization and taxation. But in the meantime, we could prevent them from congregating on the streets, leaving needles and mayhem in their wake. New York accomplished this in the 90s. This can be accomplished again - with proper policy.

Our own laws confiscating property where users gather and drug use and sales take place has uniquely created the outdoor open air drug markets we have in San Francisco, but our brutal violent police state certainly doesn't help, we would like drugs users off the street, let them.

Yes we need to stop racial injustice propagated by law enforcement. Drug policy is particularly fraught in this area. But we also can’t hide behind social justice while the streets become un-walkable. We need to find the right balance. 1/

We cannot hide behind statistics boards when simple neighborhood walks reveal contradicting facts. 2/

There are reasonable ways to address the humanity of drug users. They do require mandatory time in adequate rehab facilities. We need to establish the latter through propositions or (better yet) legislation. 4/

Mandatory time in a rehab facility is not recognizing the humanity of the drug user. They have a right to make their own choices, and eliminating drugs is a unattainable goal.

Do they have the right to ruin my day?

No sir, only you can let or not let them do that. Your emotional state is a choice you make.
