San Francisco Mayor Breed is announcing new legislation to put a curfew in a section of the Tenderloin district, a part of the city that is notorious for high crime, homelessness and public drug use. In a post on X, Breed touted the measure. 'Shutting down open air drug markets requires strong enforcement and new approaches,' she wrote. 'Last year SFPD doubled the arrests of drug dealers from the year before.
We have drug users all over. And the problem is that when you have businesses that are open, like liquor stores and smoke shops, it just attracts more people.' A local restaurant manager, Tim Benson, told the outlet that a curfew may help the neighborhood deal with crime. 'The police have been much more active, has been out helping the cleanup effort,' said Benson. 'But, it seems to be mostly a daytime issue. And at nighttime, it's sort of still a wild, wild west.
