A nonprofit CEO said it's becoming difficult to find people to volunteer to help in the Tenderloin district.
SAN FRANCISCO — A lot of places are dealing with an increase in crime, and there is growing public anger over governments' inability to control it. And in San Francisco's Tenderloin District, a place familiar with human turmoil, even those whose mission it is to show compassion say things have gone too far.
The heightened fear stems from a shooting two weeks ago at the corner, in broad daylight, that left a man in critical condition. Since then, there was another shooting and two stabbings, leaving two people dead."They're really afraid to even come to the dining room during the daytime to have lunch with us because of the situation on the street," he said.
"How hard can it be?" said Behnke."We're like three blocks away from City Hall. The police station is two blocks up there. And it looks like this on Leavenworth? I can't compute how this can be allowed to happen." And then, there are the kids. The Tenderloin is home to more than 3,000 children, but you rarely see them because it's not safe to play outside.
