Extraordinary Joe - Governor & Mayor Jerry Brown is very interesting. He could be so wrong about so many things, and still eventually get one right. As they say even a blind squirrel. . .

Hi Erica -

Wishing that all is well with your family!

I'm not surprised to read any of this - your story reads like a roadmap of the city of San Francisco's best intentions paving the road to Hell.

30 years of failing forward according to these nonprofit leeches who take no responsibility for any of those 3,060+ deaths from ODs that you mentioned.

From all I've read, including your outstanding article about your own family experience - tough love is the only way. The expedient way is for the government to provide the drugs, and free cremation, similar to Soylent Green without the food recycling angle.

Saving lives does not require more words, and more salaries. It requires cutting off access to drugs and alcohol.

Best wishes!
