Severity of San Francisco's drug crisis illustrated in video that shows kids getting off bus, walking through open-air market of users on the sidewalk every day as they go home from school

SAN FRANCISCO -- They say that pictures speak louder than words. We continue to talk about the drug problem in San Francisco, but one video is getting a lot of attention because it shows kids getting off a bus and then having to walk past an entire block of people with drug paraphernalia.Drug users nodding off, shooting up or smoking fentanyl is a matter of course for residents living near 8th and Mission Streets.

He finally posted a video showing a group of kids getting off a Muni bus as he tells them to"Get home safe." The video then shows people openly using drugs as the kids navigate their way past them."There's you know, a lot of madness, a lot of lawlessness," he said."The thing with programs, programs are meant for failure," one drug user said when asked how hard it is to get help."I try my own program. My own program is love," he told us.

Looks about right, nothing has changed . I walked past this also as a kid and that was 30 years ago.

R the up and coming elected now shame shame Los Angelo’s the same Hollywood the same once calif was a wonderful place now now ug

Oh, are they considered homeless too or just bums that get high

cockroaches

What homeless person wouldn’t want to come to CA? There’s free drugs, free food and stuff they can help themselves to in the stores. They can trash the city without any repercussions

Shit city

we could fund policies to protect ourselves from corporations raising the rent so high it drives people into houselessness abc7: no, let's use children to punish people for being forced into houselessness without doing anything to advocate for homeless children

Democratic city

San Francisco is not as bad as people make it seem. I have walked through the worst parts of Mission and The Tenderloin alone, and there was nothing that bad.

I wonder if LondonBreed is going to call this noise, but hey, the City's future is in her hands, might as well sue her and the city for misconduct.

A corrupted time!

Welcome to Newsome’s California. And he wants all of that for the country once he is elected President

US self destruction. Rent is so high and housing is even worse. Elitist think that they are safe, nope it's going to crumble back to you because these elites destroyed many families.

this is what happens when democrats have a stranglehold on an area for decades.

On top of the homeless, the kids holding up their hands like they’re shooting at the camera. Best if GavinNewsom knows that these poor kids never had a chance

Wow … how freaking sad.

alliecrossing69

What a nightmare.

california a Democrat run state... No surprise here🙄 and what's worse is people keep voting Democrat.

Something that’s not fake news! Someone needs to hold Scott wiener and all the city cronies accountable! Vote them out!

So sad.

jennnloveslove What a wonderful world TheDemocrats made in California.

This issue is decades in the making, and it will take decades to solve. :(

Joe will start Hunter working on this right away

City needs to help

Not stopping for as long as people defend & make excuses for their behavior & the choices they make. We all have shortcomings; one after the other it seems, but opt for the right thing. This is degrading for homeless, hurt our children & is sickening for law abiding citizens.

and Newsom is telling people in Florida to move to California 😂😂😂😂😂😂, good job California, keep voting for this shit

Nancy where is she at

Future strippers!

We could turn our homeless into tires. That way, we'd still have homeless, but we could use them on our cars

Thank you Nancy for keeping our kids safe as they walk through your streets

Heckuva job there Newsom!

SF Board of Supes is unembarrassable.

Gavin Newsome’s liberal California where drug culture and crime prevail.

NOW you’re catching on to this problem? Talk about 10 years too late. The problem is that ABC7 supports the democrats that run San Francisco & LA…and it’s THEIR liberal policies that are turning our State into a crime ridden, drug addicts haven shithole🤣🖕🏽

LondonBreed dont care. Never has never will. Remember, your vote counts!

isn't this what you want?

Democrats destroyed our cities

Gavin Newsom destroyed California

It builds character for the kids..

We act like this is something that has just happened. News flash! It’s been happening all over the nation for quite some time. Trillions of $ have been allocated to solve the problem, only to be pilfered and flat out stolen.

Newsom plans to do this to the entire country just like he did when he was running SF with his buddy Gascon

Gotta love leftist policies in action.

Now do L .A

This is so sad!

ABC7 remind me again who runs California

Liberal anti police and pro crime policies at their finest. Los Angels is equally as bad if not worse.

Who are their parents? WTF

This is exactly what your loose on crime liberal policies gets you!

They love jabs in California.

Gotta do better.

Keep voting Dem ! Solid Blue SF just like L.A!

The communities with the least amount of drug use and crime have the most resources available not the most cops.

Is it really shocking at this point? And nothing will change it.
