I know you like to pin most of the city’s problems back to “progressives” but this is a stretch even for you. give the daily attacks a rest - I’d love to see the YIMBY army show up at one of the sweeps and help homeless individuals deal with the SFPD & not have anywhere to go.

Nobody at the protest approved of Farrell being appointed (though Breed is running an audio ad in heavy rotation promising to remove all tents within a year) or what he has done & some of them are critical of electoral politicspic.twitter.com/jdigu3iYCF
