The poster I responded to asserted some utter nonsense about a serious issue. I provided a source refuting those claims. That is what is worth discussing. The reality is that there isn't enough opioid treatment access. Whether this is true in SF specifically, I didn't find a source confirming or the opposite. Your claim that tents aren't being removed isn't true either. https://www.sfexaminer.com/findings/tent-dwellings-are-down-in-the-tenderloin-but-rising-across-the-city/ https://www.sfexaminer.com/findings/tent-dwellings-are-down-... It's plausible that enforcement in SF is lighter than what is efficient (prison overcrowding will do that), but the claim that it isn't happening is, again, false.

"The poster I responded to asserted some utter nonsense about a serious issue." Your comment "commenters are so weird" was a reply to my comment, so presumably was directed at me. I didn't assert "some utter nonsense". "Your claim that tents aren't being removed isn't true either." The article you linked says that tents are being removed from the Tenderloin, so that they can be relocated to other areas of the city. So, unless you live in the Tenderloin (a small % of SF), your experience will be just like mine: tents are permanent and are not being removed by the police.
