My latest: Three months after the city settled a lawsuit over the dire conditions in the Tenderloin, tents have nearly disappeared and some streets are finally shutting to cars. But drug dealing — neighborhood families’ top concern — is as rampant as ever.https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/heatherknight/article/Tenderloin-tents-are-now-rare-Open-air-drug-15544410.php …

District Attorney
@chesaboudin says cycling dealers in and out of jail doesn’t accomplish anything. He wants to start a new specialty court to prosecute Honduran dealers trafficked here and working for cartels. Also calls for treatment on demand. (How do we not have that yet?)20 replies 3 retweets 50 likesShow this thread -
Replying to @hknightsf @chesaboudin
On the mental health side, voters passed a measure long ago to fund a Mental Health Rehab Facility at SFGH. It did not take long for the Mayors to convert that into a board and care and to keep it largely empty.https://missionlocal.org/2019/09/sf-officials-willfully-kept-45-beds-to-house-mentally-ill-empty-but-falsely-told-staff-it-was-because-they-were-on-probation/ …

Mental health rehab has nothing to do with drug rehab. It’s long term care for the most mentally ill people. The city does not want to run mental health “nursing homes” even though they should.

I’m saying the city has a record of bait and switch on big psych facilities and will probably deliver the same on substance. There are no plans for Prop C substance, just money and hungry nonprofits.

Just want to assure you, if anyone at a nonprofit is profiting it is not the worker bees. Bless them.

The issue is not so much profiting as it is an utter lack of accountability especially with the politically connected agencies. The services that the public get from the almost $2b in outsourcing to nonprofits don't seem to be manifesting on the streets. I can't reward that.
