I've been in a few blue cities, including Seattle earlier this month. There are pockets of homeless, and -likely- addicts. But a "mart"? No.

Marts? Yes.

Including the second link because mysteriously the LA Times doesn't seem to mention the open air drug dealing.

oard President Aaron Peskin asked Breed whether she would support his request for better coordination among local and regional agencies to put an end to drug-dealing.

Officials agreed to reconvene at City Hall to complete the rest of the meeting where Mayor Breed welcomed 'the opportunity to work with the board on shutting open-air drug dealing down'.

Mayor Breed vowed to crack down on the city's open-air drug market and police will now be able to arrest people shooting up in broad daylight

The majority of drug overdose deaths in San Francisco involved males in the Tenderloin district, where open-air drug use is rampant among its soaring homeless population

.

Mayor Breed alluded to the pilot program during Tuesday's board meeting and said she was 'proposing changes to our state law, and we will be enacting local programs to try to end this disruptive behavior.

'What do we do about those who are struggling with addiction on our streets and they refuse services?' she added.

'Because as much as shutting down drug markets, it's also about making it clear that problematic behavior will not be tolerated on our streets.'

'
Peskin released a statement on Tuesday evening and said the city has the 'resources right now to close down the open-air drug supermarkets'.

He also pointed to the violent woman who threw a brick at the open hearing as a demonstration of the city's disorganization.

'If we can't guarantee everyone's safety when the mayor and her security team are present'we have lost control of our public realm,' Peskin said.

'And that is our shared mission: to regain control of all of our public spaces, so that they are safe and clean for everyone always.

'We simply can't defend this status quo and we must continue to demand change.'

And again, if the border is not a problem, why are Kathy Hochul and Mayor Adams screaming?
