In an interview, District 9 Supervisor Jackie Fielder highlighted the ongoing challenges of illegal vending and street conditions since taking office. She specifically addressed the conditions around the 16th Street BART Plaza, aligning her priorities with the new mayorâs focus on public space cleanliness. Fielder appreciates the mayor's attention but advocates for more long-term solutions such as treatment and housing, expressing concerns about the efficacy of current law enforcement actions in addressing the community's needs and the challenges presented by overlapping enforcement strategies in other city areas.
I was glad that the mayor took me up on an offer to walk around to see for himself what residents, business owners, community organizations and folks passing through see on a daily basis.
I want to see more treatment, more shelter and housing. But, it's hard to divorce this conversation from the enforcement actions and the attention that's been given to Sixth Street.
