San Francisco is double screwed now.
Looks like the new DA Jenkins is all talk & no go.

Previous DA - Breed’s 90-day emergency fizzled without results, and it’s not clear how Jenkins will succeed where the mayor failed. In a troubling sign, neither Breed nor San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott attended her news conference.
During a question and answer session, Jenkins stuck to platitudes. When asked what new strategies she might have to target the drug problem, she said she would work with the SFPD narcotics unit and the U.S. attorney’s office.
Judging from anecdotal evidence, the new DA did not have an immediate impact on crime. On Saturday, a fresh pool of shattered auto glass shimmered on Fillmore Street in Pacific Heights. And drug dealers plying their trade in well-known hotspots apparently did not receive the memo that things have changed.
Jenkins vowed to target open-air drug markets “on day one,” but the drug trade flourished in the usual zones on Monday afternoon. At Eighth and Mission, dozens of users, attended by dealers, crowded the corner.
Same thing up at Eddy and Larkin, where two of the dealers — openly displaying drug-filled baggies in front of the Phoenix Hotel — appeared to be teenage girls. A block away, four SFPD officers walked up Polk Street with barely a glance toward the action.
