This is really going to hurt the local tourism economy. People from around the world travel to San Francisco just for the artisanal fentanyl.

San Francisco won't get better until they clean house and rid the city of the current supervisors first.

Dean Preston must be making money off of addiction to say something that insane. It's past time to clean up our city, if drug addicts are willing to go into long term rehab and clean up their life great, if not it isn't right to make others who have also suffered hardship but are doing their best to be citizens that contribute to society not suck the life out of it.

San Francisco will be way better off when they get rid of drunken pelosi
