San Francisco voters are expected to express their frustration with the city’s current state by supporting Propositions F and E in the upcoming election.
Malcolm Weitz, said, “The pendulum is swinging.”
“It’s coming hard-core back to the center,” he continued.
Proposition F aims to mandate drug screening for public cash benefit recipients, reflecting discontent with the city’s drug issues.
Keith Humphreys, a Stanford University professor, said, “This is something you normally associate with more conservative parts of the country.”
SF AIDS Foundation’s Laura Thomas said, “F is a cynical and unserious waste of resources that will materially harm very vulnerable people.”
Despite some criticism, a majority of likely voters back the propositions, signaling a desire for change and a shift towards the center in the city’s policies.
Sara Shortt, the “No on F” campaign director said, “In addition, many who are on the streets now, who are using drugs will simply not apply for assistance.”
Shortt said, “And therefore not have any access to treatment through the services system.”
