Rebecca Solnit on San Francisco now: “These billionaires…have laid their hands on the city that’s been my home since 1980 and used their wealth to undermine its diversity and affordability, demonise its poor, turn its politicians into puppets and push its politics to the right.”

Decriminalization of drugs may offer an interesting alternative to "war" -- but in San Francisco it has been an abject disaster. Overdose deaths have spiked and public use is rampant, which in turn has damaged economy, this NYT analysis says https://t.co/ql9L3S2g6V

Must-read project by @mgafni who traced the lives of 24 people who died of drug overdoses in one particularly grim week in San Francisco last year. They were a small fraction of the more than 800 people who died of overdoses in the city in 2023, the highest number on record. https://t.co/qomChYtrv8

San Francisco embraced the most radical approaches to drugs and homelessness over the past 2 decades. Covid exposed it. Now, we can't get out of it unless we move away from these harmful policies. Accountability is a cornerstone of recovery. @LondonBreed https://t.co/o6oJbIOeH8

Excellent effort from @sfchronicle to show the impacts of the overdose crisis in San Francisco. As I've been screaming from the rooftops, the majority of deaths are happening inside SRO's, which is housing for the homeless. @sberg0 https://t.co/6Tp6XGtjmm

The absolutely sad state of San Francisco. Abject poverty, addiction and homelessness amidst the wealthiest corporations in the world. https://t.co/RF50Mk0RpT

A recent report from @HUDgov reveals the highest level of homeless ever recorded, a 12% ⬆️ over '22, although HUD promised a 25% reduction. In SF, addiction & drug promotion perpetuate the crisis. @SteebMichele @Twolfrecovery @bigcregg https://t.co/UQsLqefpzV
