In this case, we're mostly talking about drug dealers who have been prosecuted and convicted-- and ultimately released, no longer living in San Francisco. The city attorney (not the DA-- another official who handles civil matters for the city rather than criminal ones) sought to keep these people out of the portions of the city where drug dealing is most endemic.
