Go to the Tenderloin right now and do a straw poll, Chesa. Your poorest are suing the city in desperation because it — and you — have abandoned them and their children.https://twitter.com/chesaboudin/status/1269089684484833280 …

I notice that this article heavily focuses on the homeless, drug abuse and severe mental illness. How do you expect the police to help? Will they build more housing? Protest for suboxone deregulation? Help the homeless fill out paperwork to get a psychiatrist?

I expect them to enforce the law, as they do in the wealthier surrounding neighborhoods. It is against the law to sell the drugs that are killing SF's homeless population.

You want to ramp up the war on drugs again. I've been to wealthy silicon valley parties. If it were actually enforced equally, a lot of your friends would be utterly fucked.

Before I was around the wealthy, I thought they committed petty crimes less than the poor. Now I realize, they break the law all the damn time. They trespass and go urban exploring. They traffic, use and sell drugs with their friends.

I had to leave an apartment I'd lived in for a year because a home meth lab two doors down caught on fire. My next place was next to a drug dealer who had three young children who'd come over and get me to read to them on my smoke breaks. Whose friends? You're describing yours.

Ok, fair. Probably you are around different rich people who use less drugs than the ones I've met. If you really want to arrest the majority of the population of burners I guess you're at least consistent
