It’s just wrong how this administration has so completely abandoned the residents of Lower Polk and many parts of the Tenderloin, especially around Eddy, O’Farrell, etc. 2/4

We continue to demand investment in these long-neglected areas, and that includes ambassadors, intensive outreach services, safety escorts, small business assistance, and immediate response to imminent threats like outdoor fires. 3/4

Neighbors here – housed and unhoused – deserve to feel safe and be safe. I will continue to work closely with neighborhood residents and small businesses to demand that the administration do better. The status quo is not acceptable. 4/4
