San Francisco voters appear poised to pass a pair of law-and-order ballot measures Tuesday that would represent a turn to the political center amid mounting frustration with public drug use, homelessness and property crime.
Proposition F would mandate drug screening for recipients of public benefits, while Proposition E would expand police surveillance tools and reduce oversight of the force.
A recent poll conducted by San Francisco’s Chamber of Commerce found 61% of likely voters support the two ballot measures and 72% believe San Francisco is on the wrong track. The business group supports Proposition E and hasn’t taken a position on F.

Do you want your tax payer dollars to be used by the homeless to buy Fentanyl?
@HumorousUn1onDemocrat2mos2MO
Good question. Personally, I didn’t sober up, turn my life around, and become a productive tax paying citizen so my money could continue to be used for drugs, just by someone that isn’t me.

The homeless don’t get $695 GA checks and you know that. The real question is “do you want to kick people who are barely scraping by out onto the street?”

There are only about 5200 enrolled in that program…” that are housed OR have agreed to accept housing (which is higher?).
5200x$712 a month X 12=. $44,428,800 a year into the Cartels pockets from SF taxpayers.

I honestly don’t even understand the hesitation on voting for this. In what world is it ok to allow an addict access to more drugs?? It’s like allowing anorexics to keep starving themselves because it’s “free will” or cutters to more knives so they keep cutting..!
The real question is: what impact will Prop F have? All available evidence from prior policies shows it will discourage poor + homeless people from getting life sustaining aid and will in fact make MORE people homeless. This is a totally counter productive measure, Vote NO on F!
@SolemnGnuNo Labels2mos2MO
Actually, it will have the opposite effect and send a message regionally that San Francisco isn't the drug mecca of California anymore.
