Good afternoon!
A 20-foot tall police observation tower went up on the 24th Street BART plaza this morning. Mission Local interviewed plaza regulars about the new collapsible panopticon, the latest attempt to crack down on illegal activity in the area.
What really happened inside the controversial Tenderloin Center, the unofficial safe consumption site that closed last year ? We look at a study reporting its problems with city emergency respondersโand its use of a promising alternative way to reverse overdoses.
For more about the police, drugs, the Tenderloin, and money in politics, don’t miss this evening to Manny’s, where Joe Eskenazi will interview Supervisor Dean Preston. Tickets still available; see you there!
More soon,
