I may have the least popular view on Chesa Boudin: Yes, SF has lots of petty crime/homeless. Not a great look. However, incarceration is SO damaging to society overall -- the negative externalities are well-known and massive -- that his policies are probably still net good.
1 that opinion seems well supported by evidence.
2 that is what @chesaboudin is saying himself, emphasizing the medical guidance and epidemiological consequences.
