I learned recently that the Department of Public Health in San Francisco has a $3.2 billion annual budget, of which $700 million is for behavioral health. But there's only a few hundred treatment beds and 800 die of overdose each year. It's definitely not a funding issue. 🧵

SF and the Bay Area's problems are not one of lack of funding. The disconnect is from *bad government* and *failure of state capacity*. We must hold failed politicians & bureaucrats accountable. Replace them with competent leaders. You can't buy it. You have to vote for it.

The radical left in SF is now calling for violence because they lost an election. A former recalled SF school board member is down with this call to violence.

Your regular reminder that SF's homelessness crisis is really a drug crisis. The solution isn't just to put people inside - it's to give them cheap, quick, and attractive treatment options. Recovery works.

1200 people were massacred in Israel, and the entire country went to war over it. We're on track for 800 deaths in San Francisco from drugs...where's our all-out response? Where's our outrage? Where's our "stop the madness"?

If this type of brazen theft continues, San Francisco will never recover in the way it should. If it's state law, we need to change it. If it's more police, we need to fund it. If it's local policy, we need to fix it. These are crimes of opportunity.

This was literally so terrifying to be caught smack in the middle of. They RIPPED the glass cabinet perfume door off and stole all the cheap perfume. There was about 10-12 male and females. Walgreens on 4th and King store.

San Francisco’s downtown is sinking fast. The average office vacancy rate in the U.S. is 6.60%. It's 35-36% in San Francisco. We must incentivize businesses to come back to the city. That starts with clean streets and public safety.

San Francisco now at 35% office vacancy rate, highest ever recorded: data

Downtown San Francisco was bustling with people several years ago, but according to the current numbers, the area now more vacant than ever.

How did we get to the point that small business owners are going on a hunger strike? Why is the Valencia bike lane killing small business? Why did it take the mayor four years to change planning codes to make it easier to open a small business in San Francisco? Let's dig in. 🧵

Downtown San Francisco is in a state of collapse. Our elected leaders should be spending most of their time focusing on this and engaging the business community and investors on solutions. This is how SF pays for things, and it's collapsed. @garrytan @elonmusk

The more I learn about wasteful spending in San Francisco, the angrier I get. It's the worst run city in America. And it's not for a lack of money. This hurts because I know we can do better.

Theory: Community policing works! Reality: There are criminals often with guns who rob stores, assault people, steal cars and sell drugs. Those things require force in that moment to be dealt with.
