The lawsuit charged SF with allowing behavior it would not in other neighborhoods
A group of residents and two hotels in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District filed a federal lawsuit Thursday, accusing The City of using the neighborhood as a “containment zone” for narcotics activities.
“The residents, families, and small businesses in this historically diverse neighborhood will no longer tolerate this discriminatory treatment,” Davis said. “They demand an end to the rampant illegal street vending, and from the squalor and misery that exists throughout their neighborhood because The City has decided that people in the throes of addiction can live and die on the Tenderloin’s streets.
“We know it’s not enough, especially in the evening times, and we’re going to continue to do everything we can to work as aggressively as we can to focus our resources and attention on The Tenderloin,” Breed told reporters Thursday. However, the Tenderloin continues to be an epicenter of homelessness, with maps published by The City showing a concentration of tents in and around the Tenderloin and Civic Center.
