All the lies and scare tactics behind the GOP campaign to recall SF DA @chesaboudin can be dizzying.
I mean, the forest here is obvi a desperate plea for more failed, racist incarceration. But it's worth seeing that the trees are rotten.
So here's a THREAD w/ some FACTS:
-
-
The problem in SF is poverty and homelessness. Housing people, providing safe injection sites, and providing effective rehab services are the fastest way to solving it.
-
1000 overdose deaths per year is not a poverty problem. And >50% of those who due by overdose are housed.

Sure - I don't disagree that the response to prop 47 was different in other cities. It doesn't change the fact that things went sideways in SF because of prop47. Other cities continued to prosecute non-misdemeanor dealing.

Do you have any, ya know, evidence that the spike was “because of” prop 47? Seems like bare correlation with a bunch of evidence suggestion it is not in fact because of prop 47…

You wouldn't expect SF to suffer far higher *rates* of increase in overdose mortality (the hockey stick) or for them to have started two years before fentanyl became a problem in SF. Yet is it so.
