San Francisco Mayor Breed faces pushback over drug crisis plan.

TL;DR Summary
San Francisco Mayor London Breed's administration is launching a pilot program to work with drug users in acute crisis on the streets, targeting people who are a danger to themselves or others. The program will be announced along with Breed’s budget proposal next week, but details remain murky. Supervisor Dean Preston said the program would involve arresting drug users, which has drawn criticism. The emergency management department said it stood by an earlier statement that the city is committed to caring for people experiencing substance use disorder on the streets, as well as mitigating the harm caused to communities by open-air drug use.
