  • San Francisco Drug Arrests Are Surging. Here’s What That Means.

    San Francisco Drug Arrests Are Surging. Here’s What That Means.
    Oct 27 2023
    The Fifth & Mission team is not producing any new episodes this week. Instead, we are sharing some of our favorite past episodes that exemplify what we've loved about making this show. Today's pick is from Co-Host Laura Wenus.  Drug users and dealers are being arrested in unusually high numbers in San Francisco’s troubled Tenderloin neighborhood amid a spike in overdose deaths and complaints about street conditions. It’s just the latest in a series of enforcement pushes, and this time, state agencies are involved. But even within the city’s own government, this is a deeply controversial strategy. And, as City Hall reporter Aldo Toledo and data reporter Susie Neilson tell Laura Wenus, neighborhood denizens are not yet seeing the desired results. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Got a tip, comment, question?
