It's been three months since San Francisco Mayor London Breed introduced her downtown roadmap focusing on its 'spiraling fentanyl crisis, empty offices, shuttered businesses.' While some say conditions have slightly improved, many residents are mixed about results to make downtown cleaner and safer.
"Being harassed by people and just the open-air drug market, especially the fact that there is absolutely no enforcement at all especially on 7th and Mission," complained Stephen Bersch, who lives in that area.
"Maybe a little bit of an improvement. Some people have been housed so there's less people on the street," expressed Anne Duddy, a nearby resident."That's no surprise to us, we have been calling this out for quite awhile but I do agree with the mayor that change is abound, there is change happening and people are feeling this tipping point, this movement and we know we can do better," explained Rodney Fong of the SF Chamber of Commerce.
"Trust us with the money and take the handcuffs off us, and let us be an impact in our community because we're the experts, added Jones Three months after presenting the city's roadmap, Mayor Breed on Tuesday agreed the city alone can't fix these problems alone. "We've got work to do but let's embrace that work, let's chance those opportunities, let's think bigger than we've ever have before and we will make the magic happen in San Francisco Again," said Breed during a breakfast event hosted by the Chamber.
