Illegal Honduran nationals distribute most of the drugs in San Francisco.

Drug dealing in SF’s Tenderloin more organized than it looks on the streets
quote:
The suspects — mostly Honduran nationals — stand accused of participating in a complex Bay Area drug trafficking operation that allegedly sold cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine just blocks from City Hall and the Federal Building.
The drugs were brought up through Mexico, stored in and distributed through houses and apartments in Oakland and Hayward, then sold on street corners near the Civic Center BART Station.
According to Drug Enforcement Administration wiretaps and reports, the system runs on a top-down management structure.
quote:
The leaders of one operation lived in suburban Livermore, while their street crews lived in rented “redistributor” houses and apartments in East Oakland and Hayward, with up to 10 men per house.
“In return, street dealers agree to sell drugs provided to them by the leaders, which is a requirement for any dealer seeking to live in a redistributor house,” Eric Diamond, a DEA special agent, said in court filings. “Sometimes with their partners and children.”
The dealers act as independent contractors who “negotiate the terms of their engagement, including housing conditions,” the agent said in court filings on the cases.
Then there are the expenses, like security deposits for each apartment, that can run into the thousands of dollars.
“Everyone wants a new apartment,” one leader complains in a tapped phone call cited in court paper

Shopping in SF’s Tenderloin is wide open — for illegal drugs, that is
LINK
quote:
The recent jaw-dropping news that 441 people died of drug overdoses in San Francisco last year offered a detailed account of the health issues surrounding the deadly epidemic, but the Department of Public Health Department report made little mention of the elephant in the room.
“That we allow open drug dealing on the street corners of the Tenderloin,” Tenderloin Housing Clinic Executive Director Randy Shaw said. “We are all concerned about drug overdoses, but we are not doing anything about San Francisco being a place where people can indulge in drug use.”
quote:
Some of the drug crews working the corners, like the Honduran gang busted by federal agents last year, commute into the city from Oakland on BART or in car pools.
quote:
Law enforcement sources say one of the biggest operations involve Hondurans who control sales in the area bordered by Leavenworth, Geary, Polk and Mission streets.

quote:
Chris Nielsen, special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration in San Francisco, said an investigation launched in late 2017 uncovered two independent operations stretching from Mexico to Seattle in which mostly Honduran nationals living on the eastern side of the San Francisco Bay Area commuted daily to the Tenderloin to sell drugs.

Friend,
Mother and I walked through the Tenderloin this morning. It was a sad, post apocalyptic setting I had not visited in a decade’s time. I did not see any Hondurans, but was offered “120 milligrams of the best stuff in the city.” He was a Black man. Forgive me if I tell you I was quite angry with this man. While I offered him liberation through repentance from his wicked ways, when he became hostile to my words, I rushed away, Mother’s arms locked in mine.
I was deeply hurt and visibly shaken when I saw one White man on the corner of Ellis and Jones Streets using a syringe to put something in his vein. I do not think it was insulin, as IV insulin could result in dangerous hypoglycemia in a non-hospital setting. I surmised later that it was likely a hypnotizing and soul destroying poison.
I wept for this neighborhood. I did notice more taco restaurants in the Tenderloin than there were ten years ago. We are once again staying at The Fairmont across the street from Grace Cathedral, one of the most beautiful Anglican churches in America. Just blocks away from the painful scenes I noticed the nicest Neiman Marcus in America, which is open once again. I shall have a full report shortly with many Top 10s. Let us pray for this beautiful city, and pray that SuperSaint will meet before we leave.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

Friend,
The neighbors to my room are being quite loud so I feel like it is still Saturday. Thank you for reminding me that we are now entering the Lord’s Day. Forgive my imprecision. It was Saturday morning around 8:30 that we walked. It truly is one of the saddest neighborhoods in America. Most of San Francisco is wonderful, but those few blocks are lower than depressing. Those blocks are filled with slaves to sin and I wish I knew how to help them. I am working on a Top 10 reasons not to use alcohol and drugs. If I can convince the desk worker to make 777 copies of the pamphlet I will hand them out in a few hours once the sun rises.
Grace is still not holding in-person services. Several Catholic churches we visited today are opening tomorrow, but they require that you sign a waiver promising you will not sue if you get sick after attending.

Friend,
If you happened upon Amigo's market, at the corner of Leavenworth and Ellis, you may have noticed me recording my intersection observations. The city has given up on controlling the inebriated pedestrians, so they are trying to slow the cars down to avoid incidents.

Friend,
Do you live here? Perhaps we could meet for breakfast tomorrow morning? I do not know the Amigos Market of which you speak. We may be leaving by 10 to go either to the Muir Woods or Monterrey. Mother has yet to decide.
I had a great and an average pizza at Tony’s Napolotena for lunch. The pizza I had at Tommaso’s tonight was less than good. Someone on the Food Board recommenced Tommaso’s, but I would rather a Dominos pizza, it was so soggy.
Yours,

P.S. If you are part of the policing force in this wondrous city, you should get new cars. All of your cars are old and look to be in terrible shape. With all the wealth in the city it would certainly be a morale boost for you to get new patrol vehicles. I think nice Range Rovers would be a good look.

Friend,
I anxiously await the day that I no longer happen to see any of your posts on the OT.
Until then, I am compelled to downvote you, not for any substance (or lack thereof) in your commentary, but for the tiresome style.

Friend,
We walked by it and I noticed it, but I had just finished a Margherita and a New Yorker from Tony’s. The former was about $25 and only 12 inches in diameter. It was unimpressive and the dough a bit chewy, as I don’t think the yeast rose appropriately. The New Yorker was 16” of excellence. I would firmly recommend it, and its excellence may boost Tony’s into the Top 40 pizzas in America list I am continually editing on the Food Board. Had my stomach had some room, I would have tried your recommendation.
Tommaso’s was a shocking disappointment. I got the seasonal special — four types of mushrooms. They put the mush in the pizza, drenching the dough. I would suggest they cook the mushrooms apart from the pizza first to remove the moisture and then place them in the pizza to finish. No dough from San Fran to Naples can support the level of fluids dripped from a huge heaping off mushrooms.

Friend,
You should have just grabbed a to-go drink from Tony's and sat on a bench at the near-by park.

Friend,
We sat at the outside tables, one of my first restaurant meals in months. It was lovely with a guitarist and keyboarder playing Italian melodies on the nearby corner. We did enjoy a gelato in the park, but in the process I stepped in excrement that some disgusting dog or person left for my shoe to find. After a half hour of cleaning my shoe’s grooves with pieces of mulch commandeered from the central statue of Ben Franklin, I was clean enough to enjoy the splendors of Saints Peter and Paul Church.

I learned that from Louisiana dog shite. To be honest, I've never stepped in human shite here, although I do see it from time to time.

Friend,
The rumors of human feces on the streets of San Francisco are grossly exaggerated. We were in Portland and Astoria earlier this week, or I guess it was last week. Portland has a much more severe case of public human excrement. New Orleans’ poop problem is no better than San Francisco. I believe my mishap today was caused by a dog, of which there are many here.

I lived in SF for a year in 2007. I remember being blown away by what an awesome city it was. It seemed like a paradise - full of great music an restaurants, beautiful women, weather was perfect, people were laid back.
It's shocking how far the city has declined in 15 years. Even as more and more super-rich have moved in and bought up all the real estate, the conditions on the streets have continued to deteriorate to a pathetic degree to where you have tech billionaires and plutocrats living in the kind of extravagant wealth people in the heartland can only dream of, right alongside literal street urchins living in the kind of squalor that would make the urban poor in New Orleans blush.
As a city, it has become a sad indictment of a certain kind of Northern California culture that values cultural status over human life even as it pretends to be this progressive wonderland. I'd like to think it can't go on like this and San Francisco will change, but I'm afraid the rest of the country might become more like San Francisco rather than the other way around.
