Community members gathered at the Mission Wednesday looking for ways to stop the open air drug market in San Francisco.
“It’s just not safe, you don’t feel safe,” said Suzie Melkonia of the Tenderloin, the hardest-hit area in the city. “And there’s a lot of children in the Tenderloin, they have to walk through this every day.”“The crisis is also at its worst in the Tenderloin. This is our city’s neighborhood with the highest density of families and children and immigrants and it should not continue to become sort of this open air drug market, which it is,” said Kanishka Cheng of Together SF Action.
The organization handed out template letters for people to write to city hall to ask supervisors to pass the police funding budget supplemental. The organization says that would ensure the police department can retain the current below bare minimum level of staffing required to prevent drug dealing and crime.
They want the Board of Supervisors to pass it by March 14 before the city controller begins to cut overtime shifts.
