Matt and his cohorts like Chesa, Hilary and Dean are creating supply by supporting the dealers' ability to sell and demand by enabling and attracting a steady stream of addicts. They are market makers. At what point do we start asking them if they are on the controlling cartel's payroll and demand an investigation into their finances, relationships, and soft ties to the criminal gangs?
In my opinion: junk addiction is incurable - in most cases. I have a SFSU degree, many years military, SFPD 7 yrs, SFFD 18 yrs, 3x fire commissioner in two jurisdictions, taught classes at Synanon for my SFSU degree. Plenty of experience & education. The closest thing to a cure was to round them up in one place, cold turkey, keep them busy & under constant observation. Feeding pigeons has one result. More pigeons. Same with junkies. Enabling & encouraging junkies with more drugs has only one result. Death.
The 700 dead are only the ones not saved by NARCAN which only stopped the thousands saved from death..
Obviously, politicians have no clue or are in on it. Sociologists & MD’s have their own agenda.
We seem to have run out of space to sock junkies away since Australia closed some time ago.
As long as we have the likes of Matt Haney, this problem will never be solved.
That’s cold & hard but the truth from my experience & from what many junkies told me.
Wow. What a succinct, scarily accurate and well written account of what is wrong with San Francisco's District 6 and the progressive socialist who has done more harm and no good!
Matt Haney should resign or be recalled himself.
Haney's lack of engagement, coupled with his public support of D.A. Chesa Boudin has put the whole district close to a state of anarchy.
I agree 100% with everything in your article. Every stupid visor in this city should be tossed out. I'm in the Mission and it is on the same track as District 6. Let's start with recalling Boudin and getting a Law and Order DA. Barberini we need you
Erica - You seem to understand what's wrong, but you are not the Mayor, DA, or BOS. I'm with you on shut the dealers down, and lock them up, but that is only a starting point. You say it's Haney's fault, but not exactly why. You say he shook his head about recalling Boudin, but you didn't say he shook it yes or no.
Whenever I to go downtown S.F. (now less than ever) I think I need to spray the bottoms of my shoes with Clorox bleach to disinfect them!
Wow, it's refreshing to read accurate and unbiased reporting. Thank you

Thanks for this great article. Like all the rest, he is pretty good at talking and that's about it.

It is politicians like him who are destroying San Francisco.
SPOT. ON. EXACTLY CORRECT.
you forgot to mention most of the dealers are illegal aliens. Why? Are you scared of pointing this out?
