News on the subject is far different from reality. I am very familiar with the area of the Tenderloin bounded by GG Ave, Leavenworth, Eddy, and Larkin. I spent some time nearly every day there, some during the day, some at past midnight, some early in the morning.<p>The truth is that:<p>- They were/are running the gentrification project quite well during the daytime. The area around La Cocina gets cleaned up and shifts everyone away. Sometimes you have police<p>- Starting a couple of months ago, the police have moved the night folks to the area between Market and McAllister near where they meet. The night folks have started recongregating but there are police vehicles past midnight which are stationed with flashing lights<p>The Tenderloin has been under extra-supervision for a couple of months now. I'm not sure what triggered it. Perhaps the LV hits, but I think it was before that. Hard to tell, but it's not the TL you remember from 6 months ago or from a year ago.<p>This is the truth as it is on the street. But you don't have to believe me. Take your car right now and drive every street I mentioned. See for yourself.
