What a bunch of double-speak. You have a city with conditions on the streets compared to those of the world's poorest slums. Clearly, a dramatic increase in resources needs to be brought to bear on the problem. Any plan Mayor Breed might have will only be aided by additional funding. Patrick Collision's plea for subtlety is a thin disguise for his apathy.
Tech companies like his--btw Stripe benefited from San Francisco tax breaks and the change from an income tax to a gross receipt tax in the mid-aughts--need to step up and give back to the cities that enabled them to become what they are today. And they should be more willing to take responsibility for the consequences good and bad of the tech boom.

Any plan Mayor Breed might have will only be aided by additional funding. Drug abuse is a serious problem. Giving the DEA more money will only help to solve it.
