I’m still not sold on boudin. Maybe he makes sense with an abundance of resources, but that looks like it’s going to change.

I'm happy our scarce resources are headed towards medical care, and not towards mass incarceration. That is something
@chesaboudin means there will be more of to me.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

SF has not had a system focused on incarnation for over a decade. Boudin is not a pioneer here. He is slotting into the harm-reduction regime that precede him. Hard to call that system a success given the death and chaos that has become common place in our city.

Uh, just because were not incarcerating quite as many people as the rest of our incarceration happy nation, does not mean we do not have a mass incarceration problem. We still have more people incarcerated than any country in europe by capita.

I have not seen an incarceration rate comparison between a representative EU nation and SF. I have seen compassions between SF and other CA cities and ours is and has been since Gascon much much much lower.

It looks to be about 2x 3x of European countries, and about half of Russia, which is also in Europe.

Russia is russia, not really a part of europe, or asia.

I think we differ in our interpretation of Friedman. I’m convinced that the steps you are describing would come naturally, after applying free markets. I think you want to do it in reverse, start here, and later deal with the broader system.

I think that there is good evidence to show that increases in enforcement lead to more violence. And Incremental decriminalization reduces violence.

I don’t think so, I think that in particular is a vicious cycle. If people had cheap bread and games here that weren’t drugs, there would be less violence. EU has bread and game available for most. US gives more bread and better games, but only to some.
