Two hotels and several residents of San Francisco's troubled Tenderloin district sued the city on Thursday, alleging it is using the neighborhood as a containment zone for rampant illegal drug use and other vices, making residents terrified to leave their homes and businesses unable to recruit staff.
Businesses, residents in SF's Tenderloin District are suing the city alleging it's using neighborhood as containment zone for drugs, violence.Two hotels and several residents of San Francisco's troubled Tenderloin district sued the city on Thursday, alleging it is using the neighborhood as a containment zone for rampant illegal drug use and other vices, making residents terrified to leave their homes and businesses unable to recruit staff.
"Every day at all hours people are dealing drugs and using drugs in front of their apartment building. There are encampments people are lighting up bonfires," said Davis. "Their sidewalks are filthy with all types of problems from used syringes, human waste." "We hope we get our constitutional rights protected. Which has not been the case. The people should not treat the Tenderloin as if 'you want to sell drugs you can do it in the Tenderloin but don't do it in Cow Hollow,'" said Shaw.
We met Melvin Junior in the neighborhood. He has lived in the Tenderloin for 20 years and was glad to hear of the lawsuit. He doesn't feel safe in the area anymore.
