Why Randy Shaw is either deluded or lying. This is in reference to this article in BeyondChron
In it, Randy Shaw makes this quote “As important a role as the police have played in making a staggering number of arrests, neighborhood safety would not be enhanced without other positive changes in the community (Eric: at positive changes link to http://www.beyondchron.org/news/index.php?itemid=4535). These changes are both physical —the replacement of problem businesses with positive retail, the building of housing on vacant lots, the elimination of bus shelters used for drug dealing, the transformation of SRO’s from drug-infested hovels to well-maintained supportive housing—and service-oriented. (snip) These “other parts of the equation” include the many city-funded case managers, psychiatric outreach workers, homeless shelter staff, youth service providers, mental health counselors and the many other positions whose work reduces crime and violence in San Francisco.
Bullshit. remember this guy?
Not only did Tenderloin Housing clinic NOT do anything about this, but the only thing they did do was tell him that I took that video. Not only is he still here, but this same guy, more than a month later, was outside my door last night at 1:am with a crowbar. So what are residents doing with crowbars anyway?. I’d show more, but I’ve been threatened by these people before
There is no support in this supportive housing. The only thing Tenderloin Housing Clinic supports, is more crime, and this is the proof
The fact is, Tenderloin Housing Clinic has a 15 million dollar budget already, and hires fewer people than Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation who has only 11 million dollar budget?..why is that?
If THC wanted to, they could increase not only pay raises for their current workers, but hire more of them, but they simply refuse to, and instead go begging to City hall
