> I once learned a lot about helping people with alcohol addition for a family friend I had quite the opposite experience. We held an intervention for my father, sent him to rehab, and he hasn't drank again in 25 years. The bottom line is, there are prerequisites for maintaining a functional, prosperous society. Preventing crime, enforcing laws, and ensuring order and decorum in public spaces are among them. Several of the board of supervisors, through what is most generously described as extreme naïveté, have done their best to undermine these things. Garry and other prominent people have taken it upon themselves to try to intervene. It appears to me that he is trying to draw attention to how SF has been degraded by its board of supervisors' disastrous policies. My anecdotal experience is that things have gotten so bad that even SF's leftist core is waking up to how calamitous their voting choices have been. > it won't result in peace You may be right. But what choice do we have? This is not a fight over which statues to erect. This is a civic emergency. People are dying on the streets and SF is spiraling into a doom loop. Drastic action is needed.
