      Almost every fentanyl overdose is a homicide that the city hides from the statistics. If someone says they are selling you a Dr Pepper, and it has some other medicine in it that stops your heart, and you die, that is a homicide. Period.

      Wait, @chesaboudin said #CrimeIsDown? This literal mile of 720 corpses wasn't included in SF’s 2020 crime stats. Addicts not treated like real people by the DA? I'm shocked.

      Poisoning yourself is a crime?

      People who do drugs make a choice to do it. No one is forcing them. The War on Drugs has been an even more abysmal failure than the War in Afghanistan.

      60-80 percent of addicts self-cure in a decade.

      Drug addiction is a Public Health problem, not a criminal justice problem. Prohibition doesn’t work: arresting uses doesn’t work not does arresting dealers. It never has and there are literally reams of studies backing this up.

      Harm reduction doesn't work. Neither does throwing up your hands and doing nothing.

      Harm Reduction saves lives, but it doesn’t reduce addiction. I think that helps but you might differ.

      What do you propose? Prohibition doesn’t work. Arresting drug dealers doesn’t work.

      2/2 Then make a mental health and drug and alcohol facility out in the Bayview with all that land and put the people who are a harm to themselves and the public in them. Then make tiny homes in the area for people to transition into. While giving them jobs in the facility.

      It is not clear to me why the residents of the Bayview should have to bear the burden of dealing with a bunch of addicts. There is no reason except tradition that the TL should have to deal with them either though.

          If it's a medical facility to treat people if this is the goal, how is that a burden? Also, you can build it anywhere just freaking build it. If all these so called programs work, we should have less crime, less homeless. But...we don't, results speak for themselves.
