      Covid has certainly changed the landscape, but if there are 30 drug dealers who have been working on the same handful of street corners for 36 months, that is a failure of epic proportions.

      Not only Chesa of course, but he has taken it and is running with it, and doesn't seem concerned with responsibility for bad results. Lots of podcasts, grand sweeping Tweets, interviews, and other celebrity shit. I want a boring a public servant who is does their job.

      He really seems to be running a national campaign, which makes sense when we consider most of his donors were out of state

      Getting tough on crime doesn’t reduce drug use, or decrease drug overdoses. It doesn’t even seem to reduce the price, though it does increase the potency. Public dealing is perhaps a nuisance that belongs indoors but decriminalization is the best policy.

      He ran on a policy of decarceration, rescued enforcement on quality of life crimes and an increased effort at focusing societal resources on decreasing violent crime.

      I am personally skeptical that it will work but given the massive amount of racism and the epic fail of our criminal justice system to do anything about this, am willing to give his ideas a shot.

      Then I encourage him to have a career in legislation. As it stands now, the results have been horrendous. Any ideology needs to be calibrated by reality, and he doesn't even seem interested in that. Grand sweeping statements, tweets about broad issues, supporting Venezuela?

      The only actual results we have are positive: Homicides and violent crime overall has gone up less in SF than the other comparably sized cities in the US. Your ideology is blinding you to this fact.

      I don't really have an ideology, other than life getting better for less fortunate ppl. I have views on privileged lefty hippocrates who were all in on Venezuela, as I said. We started this convo with crime is down, now its that certain crimes are LESS up?

      Crime has been trending down for a very long time. It is less than in any previous decade. Comparing this year with the lowest year in 60 years when there is a lot of statistical noise should be done with a lot more caution and intellectual humility than I have seen.

      I am a left libertarian type myself. I have no use for Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, China or any other repressive state.
