The Mission District is grappling with rising frustrations among residents dealing with drug use and community neglect. A local neighbor expressed his daily struggles with cleaning up drug paraphernalia and encountering aggressive individuals loitering near his home. Despite police presence, drug activities have simply shifted to nearby alleys. Community members feel overwhelmed and unsafe, highlighting a pervasive problem that affects their quality of life while they continue to attempt to maintain their neighborhood's cleanliness.
I'm so sick of the situation here. Every single day I have to clean the mess on this street," he said, adding that on many occasions people jump the wall into his patio to use or hide their drugs.
It's been hell living here," said the neighbor, while a man nearby yelled at him in protest.
See, this is the shit I got to deal with daily," the neighbor retorted, while two men walked slowly by, staring him down.
The police presence has pushed drug use, drug dealing, and loitering to surrounding alleys. Residents are fed up.
