This article discusses the deteriorating conditions on Mission Street in San Francisco, where maintenance workers struggle to manage garbage and drug use amidst the lack of public trash facilities. Over the weekend, the area saw an influx of street vendors, but by Monday morning, many drug users dominated the sidewalk. Santiago Lerma, a street team lead, expressed concern over the growing number of individuals using drugs openly, saying that despite prior progress, the situation has rapidly worsened, necessitating a new strategy for management in the area.

We saw people returning to the street and using on Mission Street in particular.
