@ArmandDoma It appears intra-left is because the inanity is most acute in the deepest of blue districts. The results are so bad in places like SF that reasonable liberals are pushing back on ideologues. The point remains the craziest stuff in education is a byproduct of the far far left.

I try not to get aggravated by politicians but this utterly tone deaf response from SFDA @chesaboudin has me fuming. The city is burning. There are zero incentives in place to fix the corrosive behaviors of the worst offenders while good citizens bear all costs.

@sallyhurricane @LondonBreed So sorry chef. I 💛 your restaurant & wish we could do more to support businesses like yours. What I cannot do is jail people because of their addiction or double down on the failed war on drugs. We need to make it easier to get help than it is to get high in SF.
