Safe Embarcadero Rebuild D6

Sums up San Francisco. These tweets back to back in my feed.

@EricaJSandberg Go Erica!

California math curriculum in practice

@garrytan @96hoya And the day after tomorrow he may kill someone else. Because, what’s stopping him?

Tomorrow, the killer of Grandpa Vicha is expected to walk free. His pretrial detention already exceeded the max sentence of four years. This is SF "justice." gli.st/yamkccqy

As a CA legislator, @Scott_Wiener is notorious for authoring and supporting pro-crime bills. We can't let his dangerous agenda spread nationwide. Vote Marie. It's Common Sense.

Same day that Mayor @DanielLurie got attacked a few blocks way, except this victim won't get any press conferences or private security. @sfgov needs to stop pretending that anarchy is welfare.

Video obtained by Mission Local shows a police officer, part of Mayor Lurie's security detail, tussling with a man in the Tenderloin. The mayor looks on before walking away. The man then slams the officer to the ground, & tries to get on top of him.

GreenbergNation Poll Updated Congressional Race CA D-11 poll. Who would you vote for if the primary were held today, to succeed Nancy Pelosi? ( fyi there is no ranked choice for this race):

@MHurabiell Grateful you’re doing this

Big news. Today I’m announcing my campaign for Congress to represent San Francisco I didn’t plan to run for office this year– but San Francisco doesn’t need more ideological extremes. We need results and reform I’m running to bring pragmatic, common sense Democratic leadership to Washington – focused on safety, innovation, and affordability I’ve stood up to failed policies before. I’ll do it again

@bettersoma @bilalmahmood How about 5 years and counting?

@EmbarcaderoSafe @bilalmahmood Can you imagine ignoring me for almost 2 months.

Subject: Urgent Need for Action in the Tenderloin and SoMa February 22, 2026 Dear @bilalmahmood, I am writing to you not only as a constituent, but as someone who witnesses daily the severe human toll unfolding in the Tenderloin and South of Market (SoMa) neighborhoods. While the fentanyl crisis affects all of San Francisco, these two neighborhoods have carried a disproportionate share of the trauma, disorder, and loss that have defined the past several years. A Neighborhood in Ongoing Crisis (2020–2025) Since 2020, the Tenderloin and SoMa have become the epicenter of the city’s overdose emergency. With citywide overdose deaths reaching record levels in recent years, a significant concentration of those fatalities has occurred within just a few square blocks of these communities. For residents—including families, seniors, workers, and small business owners—daily life now includes navigating open-air drug use, public intoxication, and frequent emergency response activity. The introduction of fentanyl has intensified both the lethality and the visibility of this crisis. For those of us who live here, these are not abstract statistics—they are human beings dying in front of our homes and workplaces. The Limits of the Current Approach Over the past several years, the policy response has largely centered on low-barrier harm reduction strategies. While the intention behind these policies may be compassionate, their implementation in the Tenderloin and SoMa has exposed significant shortcomings: •Containment Without Resolution: Drug markets appear to have been concentrated in specific areas, effectively turning parts of our neighborhoods into containment zones rather than restoring them as safe, functional public spaces. •Services Without Recovery Pathways: The distribution of supplies without sufficient pathways to structured treatment or intervention has not meaningfully reduced public drug consumption or overdose deaths in these areas. •Impact on the Broader Community: Public space management has not kept pace with the scale of the crisis. Sidewalks and transit corridors remain heavily impacted, affecting residents, workers, small businesses, and children who rely on these spaces daily. A Clear Plan for 2026 As we move into 2026, incremental progress is no longer sufficient for neighborhoods that have borne the brunt of this emergency. I respectfully request clarity on your legislative and policy priorities for the coming year, specifically: 1.Addressing Open-Air Drug Markets: What concrete steps will you support at the city level to dismantle persistent open-air drug markets in the Tenderloin and SoMa? 2.Treatment and Intervention: Do you support expanding structured treatment options, including court-ordered or conservatorship-based interventions, for individuals experiencing repeated fentanyl overdoses in public spaces? 3.Funding Accountability: Will you advocate for greater transparency and measurable performance standards for the substantial public funds allocated to homelessness and addiction services, particularly as they relate to outcomes in these neighborhoods? We cannot normalize a status quo in which preventable deaths occur within blocks of City Hall and major civic institutions. The residents of the Tenderloin and SoMa deserve public safety, accountability, and a visible reduction in overdose deaths. I look forward to your response and to learning how you intend to restore safety, dignity, and hope to the heart of San Francisco in 2026. Respectfully, @bettersoma

@greenbergnation His TV ads are the most uninspiring soul sucking corporate PR I’ve ever seen. Be a socialist, at least be scandalous and provocative 🧐

Lunatic Steyer clamoring to climb out of single-digit polling, proud to scare even more business out of California - and deter startups. Bonkers!

@bettersoma @Scott_Wiener What the hell was that?

I re watched this and can’t think how disrespectful this actually is. We deserve better. This isn’t congressional or professional. Catty and poor form. Do better @Scott_Wiener

@greenbergnation Where did they hide all of it during the Super Bowl?

This is what Erica and I were afraid would happen. Super Bowl over, things back to “normal”.

@TheKevinDalton Hey @DanielLurie are you listening?

“I’m here for Super Bowl 60 in San Francisco and the city is surprisingly kinda dead…..the city isn’t as vibrant as I thought it would be….So I’m a little bit underwhelmed.” - Ameer Abdulah, Colts RB,

If Vicha Ratanapakdee’s death shook you, now is the time to speak. His killer may be released soon. The court is accepting community impact statements before sentencing. Tell them what his death meant to you. 1–2 pages, respectful, personal. Send to justiceforvicha@gmail.com by January 26.

You asked me to investigate @GavinNewsom “Housing First.” What I found is shocking. This video show TWO separate units paid for with taxpayer money. Rent is covered through nonprofits for about six months. After that, tenants are supposed to pay. They don’t. Landlords are left with drug infested, roach infested, bed bug infested units that are completely destroyed. They are forced to evict mentally ill, drug addicted tenants on their own dime and then pay to clean up the damage. There is supposed to be oversight. An assigned representative. Landlords say no one ever shows up. And here’s the truth they don’t want you to know: Housing First bans taxpayer dollars from being used for treatment. In California, @GavinNewsom is using your tax money to fund drug dens instead of recovery. The winners are the “non profits”, political friends, who get government contracts

Why do you support him, @garrytan ? This rhetoric and focus on issues Wiener has zero expertise in do absolutely nothing for San Francisco
