Why are we #NoOnF in the upcoming San Francisco election? It undermines police transparency and accountability.

Just realized https://sfendorsements.com is missing the SF Chronicle’s No on E and No on F endorsements. I emailed the author about it.
ICYMI:
#NoOnPropE “dubious public safety ideas… over-the-top measure” https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/editorials/article/endorsement-sf-proposition-e-police-18670071.php
#NoOnPropF “too many question marks to support” https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/editorials/article/prop-f-san-francisco-18667921.php
Surprised to see the best answer on this is from Danny Sauter. None of them explicitly urge a No vote (boo), but Sauter, Sharon Lai, and Moe Jamil say kind of critical things about it, with Sauter being the most strongly critical.

"As a medical doctor...specializing in addiction medicine, I have seen patients overcome substance use issues. Very few of them did so without stable housing. Homelessness increases the chaos in someone’s life, and the more chaos there is, the harder it is to overcome a substance use problem."

SF Chronicle endorses #NoOnPropF
"Despite being under a voter-backed mandate to do so, San Francisco has for years failed to provide residents with treatment-on-demand levels of care. There are not enough treatment beds...and insufficient staff... [Prop F] promises to pay for itself all or in part by using monies saved from disenrolling clients."

> Rather than the approach of Prop. F, which Harkin says is doomed to failure, he advocates that drug-users need to be “treated as human beings so you can open their eyes to the benefits of treatment — the level of treatment they are able to receive. You can’t scare them away, there can’t be coercion and stigma.”

"Unpopular Mayor London Breed is facing re-election in November, so she’s veering to the right with a trio of useless and cruel wedge issues (Prop C, Prop E, and Prop F) which would give tax breaks to downtown developers, weaken citizen oversight of the police, and drug-screen poor San Franciscans." 💯
Note that terrible Props E and F — expand car chases and kick ppl struggling w addiction out of housing — are on the *March* ballot. People will be voting by mail in just over one week
