San Francisco has become “too permissive” even for the city’s former Democratic mayor, Gavin Newsom.
Newsom, who is now California’s lieutenant governor and a candidate for governor, met with The San Francisco Chronicle’s editorial board last week. The paper reported the comments Sunday.
Although he has always promoted “progressive” approaches to drug use, Newsom admits he was “hardened by reality” while mayor as he watched drug use and its consequences encroach upon the city’s population.
“You can be too permissive, and I happened to think we have crossed that threshold in this state – and not just in this city. You see it. It’s just disgraceful,” he told the board.
“People shooting up on the streets and sidewalks, where kids are in strollers, is not acceptable – it’s just not,” The Chronicle quotes Newsom as saying.
“When you are accountable to quality of life, and accountable to diverse communities, you cannot allow the streets to be taken over.”
San Francisco’s current mayor, London Breed, is encouraging an even more permissive approach to drug use and is trying to initiate a supervised injection site program that operates in many Canadian and European cities. Newsom wouldn’t condemn the program but questioned whether it really helps get addicts off drugs.
He told The Chronicle that, according to information relayed by San Francisco’s Homeless Outreach Team, “San Francisco is too complicit as it relates to drug use on the streets, and unless that changes they don’t think injection sites alone will … solve the issue.”

Literal Sh*thole.
And when will anyone ever admit that 80-90% of the “homeless” are people with permanent brain damage from drugs.
Humping your best friend’s wife..?
Meh, that’s okay.
The solutions:
Institutionalize or incarcerate the “homeless” on the grounds they are a health and safety hazard and violate state and federal environmental laws.
Publicly execute drug dealers.
Newsom seeing his poll numbers shrinking?
I left my shit in San Francisco. High on a hill it calls to me...
Gavin Newsom: the sh*thead who turned San Francisco into a sh*thole.
A page taken from the Clinton’s “Sistah Souljah” statement.
“If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some feces in your hair...”
That they will never admit. Homeless is the result of the failings of capitalism, reactionary Republicans, and too little government spending for the homeless.
LMAO, that’s gross, DFWgator!!!!!
This from the guy that enabled it and wants to expand it to the whole state if he becomes governor.
this sounds like he is worried about Cox.
Too permissive about illegal aliens, too.
To the point of CA becoming a colony of Mexico, where elected officials refuse to protect US citizens from Mexicans illegally in our country and protect Mexicans illegally in our country from our laws.
Always remember to flush twice.
Progressives float.
These kooks have been “practicing” enough with society. Their experiments now are proven failures, like socialism. Too bad we don’t have an honest media to report these troubling outcomes of progressive policy.
Too permissive with everything.
