An 'oasis' is coming to S.F.'s troubled Sixth Street. Could it help?
Briefly

Tenderloin residents assert that the urban oasis model proposed for a former triage center has previously proven effective in revitalizing drug-affected neighborhoods. A successful transformation was seen five blocks away, where drug activity diminished after the establishment of a safe area called an oasis. This oasis initiative includes well-staffed public spaces designed for social engagement, contributing to a marked reduction in drug use and violence, making neighborhoods safer and more inviting for families and children.
The urban oasis model has transformed neighborhoods, making them safer places for children and residents, with notable success in areas plagued by drug activity.
Carmen Vasquez remarked on the remarkable changes in her neighborhood, highlighting the positive difference made by the oases and Urban Alchemy's presence.
