SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco Mayor London Breed touched on several key issues the city is focusing on — including bolstered efforts to crackdown on crime and public drug use — during her State of the City address on Wednesday.
“We need law enforcement to keep people safe, to make arrests, to hold people accountable, and to support victims,” she said. “But right now, police staffing is at crisis levels, with just over 1,630 police officers. That’s over 250 fewer officers than we had three years ago, and 540 officers below what we need, according to our city’s independent analysis based on a growing population.
Breed delivered her annual speech this year at Mission Rock, the southeastern waterfront site where new housing projects are underway. In total, the area and nearby sites will receive some 5,000 new market-rate homes and 2,000 affordable homes.
