Staff members from various departments worked in the Mission Street area, resulting in visible improvements, particularly on the west side. However, issues persist with unpermitted vending and drug-related activity that worsen on weekends. Santiago Lerma, the Mission Street Team captain, emphasized the need for strategic approaches against these challenges but noted the lack of sufficient manpower from the SFPD and DPW. Residents hope for continued improvements, yet the presence of drug users remains a concern, highlighting the complex situation needing further attention.
"You will soon be seeing a difference on the weekend," said Santiago Lerma, the captain of the Mission Street Team, who met this morning with 15 of his colleagues..."
Lerma called it "an ecosystem that feeds on itself." He said they are working on a strategy but cautioned that the SFPD and DPW do not have the manpower required to keep it under control.
