Tax the dealers 75% of their income. Enforce it, DSA Dean, you love the idea of taxing, so do it where it will really reap the $$$ and maybe even drive the dealers away.

Of course, said tongue-in-cheek, but really, WTF, how long will SF allow this to continue? #Never Preston.

Thank you for your reporting on this issue, Erica, Dean Preston needs to answer for this and I will quiz him at the Town Hall on Wednesday at Ms. Doreen's Park Library.

Alternatively, pursuing deportation policies would also spark a chain reaction which cuts the majority of drugs which are available. This is what happens when crime is legal with magnet states and safe haven policies. There is no line anymore, and therefore no real rule of law. My vote is for deportation, because otherwise no matter how much effort and energy is placed into cleaning these areas up, they'll just sprout up elsewhere or right in the same area all over again. Perhaps if Americans were not competing with people here illegally from around the world for jobs, or in many cases, even here legally through these quasi migration programs. Stop subsidizing the behavior with taxpayer money. How long would these places last if there were no state funded welfare and subsidy programs? This is what you vote for when you vote for progressive policies, expansion of government, and more welfare programs. The issue is not limited to red/blue left/right. People need to get serious about shrinking government and drawing clear lines what is legal and what is illegal. Roll everything back 20 years, things will get better.

This night time open drug market is where North America is heading. It will be like China in the early 20th century before the communists gained power.

Until the upper-class kids become addicted in large enough numbers to frighten the rich, not much will change.
