Following up on various petitions previously signed by dozens of thousands of San Francisco residents, eg: https://www.change.org/p/the-san-francisco-government-save-san-francisco-from-encampments and the Mayor's bland and deceiving response to it, this new petition is urging city officials, and anyone in power, to take action and remediate to the degrading, disheartening, revolting, upsetting situations that our city is facing. 

For years in a row, we have witnessed the normalization of theft and crime in San Francisco. Shop-lifting is the norm. People are being harassed, beaten up for their dogs, their phones or wallets. Trash and needles are on every corner. Overdosed people are laying on sidewalks, others are urinating, defecating, masturbating in public. Tents are proliferating in alley streets. Drug dealing is everywhere, violent crimes and shootings happen both daily and nightly. We are now ridiculed at the national level.

As people fear for their lives, and safety, it is more than time for change, action, and remediation. We can't go down that path anymore. 

- WE THE PEOPLE of San Francisco, demand that all theft, including shop-lifting, for any amount, be punished to the full extent of the law, and that no more $950 threshold applies.
- WE THE PEOPLE of San Francisco, demand ZERO TOLERANCE on all package theft, car theft and break-ins, burglaries, stolen bikes and infamous chop shops.
- WE THE PEOPLE of San Francisco, demand that all known and recurring drug dealing spot be 24/7 monitored by SFPD, and all buyers/sellers be apprehended and punished to the full extent of the law.
- WE THE PEOPLE of San Francisco, demand that anyone exhibiting violent or erratic behavior, be immediately apprehended and removed from our streets, so that they do not pose a threat to other people or themselves.
- WE THE PEOPLE of San Francisco, demand that all street camping, encampment, tents and tarps, be immediately dismantled within the hour of setting up camp. 
- WE THE PEOPLE of San Francisco, demand that all recurring encampment spots remain monitored by SFPD and SF HSH to prevent further installations and proliferation of new encampments,
- WE THE PEOPLE of San Francisco, demand that all city-sanctioned encampment zones, created during COVID, be immediately dismantled.
- WE THE PEOPLE of San Francisco, demand that street and sidewalk cleaning, including power-washing happen daily, 7 days a week, until San Francisco streets get as clean as the national average. 
- WE THE PEOPLE of San Francisco, demand that any illegal littering, dumping be strictly enforced and fines be applied. 
- WE THE PEOPLE of San Francisco, demand that CCTV be installed in all areas where crime and theft previously and repeatedly occurred.
- WE THE PEOPLE of San Francisco, demand FULL TRANSPARENCY and FULL ACCOUNTABILITY on all budgets, credits allocated to non-profits and other organizations, and spending of these credits.

The voting citizens we all are will judge the Mayor, the board of supervisors, other officials, the DA Chesa Boudin and all other recipients of this petition on their actions.

Be sure we will remember your actions or lack of actions the next time we will cast our ballots.  

May San Francisco be a clean and safe city again! 

With hope,
