From 2014 through Q1 2020, Black pple in SF were 4.4 times more likely to be stopped while driving than whites. These data are one reason why, in early 2020, I implemented a policy not to charge cases of contraband found during racist, pretextual stops.https://sfist.com/2020/09/15/data-shows-black-people-pulled-over-by-sf-cops-disproportionately/ …
Lots of cities have these kinds of areas, but don’t have the billions to throw at the problems and have nothing to show for it simultaneously like SF keeps doing. If it’s not working, stop digging. Stop pretending that it’s helping.

I grew up in Oakland, and SF problems were baked in back then, and generations of politicians - our current gov - pledged to fix them decades ago. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Jim Jones had tons of local support too, FWIW. How’s that?
