in spite of that, both residents and business owners said that the city's attempts to simply "herd" transients and drug addicts elsewhere are nothing more than a temporary solution to a severe problem.

The city's attention has primarily been focused on seven specific intersections within the Tenderloin and South of Market (SoMa) neighborhoods. These areas have been known to harbor concentrated encampments where individuals heavily influenced by drugs such as fentanyl and heroin can be seen passed out on the streets. 

“They started clearing the tents earlier this week and there is definitely a lot more police presence”

Ricci Lee Wynne who is SoMa resident and community activist told The NY Post.

To tackle the prevalent issue of open drug use, the city has made efforts to eradicate such activities from several areas including the Nancy Pelosi federal building at the intersection of Mission and 7th streets.

Concerned about the safety of federal employees, a memo was issued in August saying them to work from home, as the presence of numerous addicts gathering on the building's steps and seating areas posed significant risks. However, the situation has recently improved as the area around the building has been securely fenced off, prompting drug dealers and addicts to relocate to different areas in Downtown San Francisco.

This positive development allows employees to safely resume their work at the federal building.
