I'm from SF, I know exactly where "skid row" was, and I also worked there for about a decade. Nobody was shipped in from other parts of the city either unless you count people moving from other counties to where meth/heroin/fentanyl was easily available.
You can count the number of people on the street, maybe 1 in 15 has an alcoholic beverage, the rest are smoking meth/fenty/heroin.
SF's problems are all about drugs.
- giantg2 5y agoOh, when they say Skid Row, they mean the 50 block one in LA (the most famous one). Maybe SF is different. It seems alcohol is still the most abused substance in the homeless population. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29852450/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29852450/
- bifrost 5y agoAFAIK "Skid Row" is a generic term, and I did reference SF's specific area. This is basically what you'll see every few feet in San Francisco's Tenderloin district: https://twitter.com/DTenderloine/status/1382405311009488897 https://twitter.com/DTenderloine/status/1382405311009488897 (Warning, extremely graphic) Alcohol is certainly abused, but not as publicly as Heroin/Fentanyl....
