Dangerous encampment needs to goAs a business owner and Castro resident, the drug encampment at 16th and Pond streets has been a dangerous and detrimental establishment that has harmed our community for the past several years.
The tents sit directly under a historical mural called "The Hope for World Cure" that refers to the AIDS epidemic.Sadly, Supervisor Rafael Mandelman and the San Francisco Police Department have done little to improve the area against the many requests from neighbors and businesses.
Just last week, while conducting a walking tour with clients, we were threatened by an apparent meth-crazed girl who crossed the street to harass us because we were standing next to garbage bins that she needed to raid.
