We are finally seeing real urgency and change in the TL. Over 500 people brought overwhelmingly into hotels over last 3 weeks. This is what we wanted and envisioned when we all worked so hard to pass our hotel legislation, for the TL and entire city.https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/SF-cleans-up-Tenderloin-dramatic-65-15383753.php …

All due respect, stats don’t mean anything to me. Driving between my two restaurants, one in Japantown and the other at the edge of the TL, I see open drug use and drug dealings EVERY DAY along the route. That’s the reality for us who live and work in the city.

This is a feature of the drug war, not a bug. That which you ask for is the reason you have the problem you have. Policing it only makes it worse, and we have all the data and more to know this. Sorry, that data is more relevant than your anecdotes and calls for cops.

I probably have a pretty similar attitude as Chesa wrt addicts. What I don’t understand is why the city doesn’t take a stronger stance against dealers, who in addition to the drugs are also the source of so much violent crime in the city.

Can you be more specific? Why is war on drugs a failure? What do other countries do? Is there an example of a city or country that doesn't prosecute drug dealing and it works...?

Not sure why you are tweeting, nothing anyone could offer opinion wise will change your agenda. You aren’t looking to improve a broken system. All we can do is hopefully vote you out, and you will hopefully go back into obscurity.

Many of the drug dealers in SF are organized and cartel backed. They themselves may have been victims of exploitation in coming here, but now, they are exploiting others selling one of the deadliest drugs in history. Fentanyl. Does that change anything in your approach?

What I'm trying to understand is why don't we have SFPD going after the kingpins? Doesn't NYPD do this...? Seems like we could use the street dealers for information to get to the top? Is the issue that they are in Oakland? cc
