I know another anon has posted think but really think about there are more drug users on the streets of San Fran the high school students. Question: what is San Fran politicians trying to do? Perhaps have “a purge where one night a year people go on a killing spree to get iT out of their system? Sounds irrational yes, but why are they allowing this to scare the public so they become violent? Anons do you have anybody other reasons why the leaders would allow this?
San Francisco Has More Drug Addicts Than Public High School Students, Health Dept Survey finds Leslie Eastman
“There are about 24,500 injection drug users in San Francisco — that’s about 8,500 more people than the nearly 16,000 students enrolled in San Francisco Unified School District’s 15 high schools”

The Left Coast of this great nation is often held up as a blueprint for progressive policy successes by its politicians, such as Democratic Party presidential hopeful Kamala Harris.
Late last year, I reported that the Los Angeles area was battling a typhus epidemic.
Now, a Los Angeles City Hall official is one of the latest victims of typhus, and the disease continues to spread across Los Angeles County.
For months, LA County public health officials have said typhus is mainly hitting the homeless population.
But Deputy City Attorney Liz Greenwood, a veteran prosecutor, tells NBC4 she was diagnosed with typhus in November, after experiencing high fevers and excruciating headaches.
“It felt like somebody was driving railroad stakes through my eyes and out the back of my neck,” Greenwood told the I-Team. “Who gets typhus? It’s a medieval disease that’s caused by trash.”
Greenwood believes she contracted typhus from fleas in her office at City Hall East. Fleas often live on rats, which congregate in the many heaps of trash that are visible across the city of LA, and are a breeding ground for typhus.
The California Department of Public Health reports a 55% increase in reported cases of typhus for 2018, with over 160 cases reported across the state.
A bit farther North, the blue bastion of San Francisco has a fun, new statistic about which it can boast.
San Francisco has more drug addicts than it has students enrolled in its public high schools, the city Health Department’s latest estimates conclude.
…Andy Bales, CEO of the Union Rescue Mission, which has nearly 1,400 beds for the displaced, said the city and county governments can only do so much to alleviate a homeless problem that has sparked outbreaks of Hepatitis A, typhus and gang violence over the skid row drug trade.
He’s calling on the federal goverment and the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help.
“It’s a FEMA-like disaster and it needs to be treated as such,” he said.
Typhus can cause headaches, fevers, chills, and in more severe cases it can lead to meningitis and death. The current illness is known as “murine typhus,” as it is spread primarily through flea bites or droppings from infected rats and mice.
Those feces have bacteria called Rickettsia typhi, according to the CDC.
When these infected feces are rubbed accidentally into scrapes or cuts in the skin, people become sick. In L.A. County, the health department says, typhus infects fleas found on dogs, cats, rats, and opossums. Animals carrying typhus themselves do not get sick.
In arguably related news, the Southern California housing market is beginning to slump.
Higher mortgage rates and overheated home prices hit Southern California home sales hard in September.
The number of new and existing houses and condominiums sold during the month plummeted nearly 18 percent compared with September 2017, according to CoreLogic. That was the slowest September pace since 2007, when the national housing and mortgage crisis was hitting.
Sales have been falling on an annual basis for much of this year, but this was the biggest annual drop for any month in almost eight years.
I suspect that the fact that our political leaders have prioritized social justice over public health is a contributing factor to this unexpected decline.
