The area outside the San Francisco Federal Building is home to one of the most brazen open-air drug markets in the city.
This week, new fencing was around certain corners near Mission and 7th Streets, where drug users and dealers usually congregate."I think it's stupid, like it's not going to stop anything. It's not going to stop people from hanging out over here," she said."They leave an open area for people to still get in."
Courtney said she was recently evicted from an SRO, and though she doesn't hang out at the benches often, she understands the draw to the area.Last month, federal officials advised hundreds of employees to working remotely due to safety concerns and crime. Some workers who do come in are being escorted.
In that time alone, local and state enforcement agencies have significantly increased arrests, seizing over 103 kilos of narcotics & 56 kilos of fentanyl."But it's up to the individual to actually take part in it and want to do it, and there's a lot of people out here who don't want nothing for themselves but to get high," Courtney said.
